Purpose: To demonstrate that high-seed, ultra-high-resolution spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) technology can image in vivo fine morphological features in the healthy and pathological human limbus.
Methods: A compact, fiberoptic SD-OCT system was developed for imaging the human limbus. It combines ∼1.
To assist public health responses to COVID-19, wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is being utilised internationally to monitor SARS-CoV-2 infections at the community level. However, questions remain regarding the sensitivity of WBE and its use in low prevalence settings. In this study, we estimated the total number of COVID-19 cases required for detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater.

- Mice experience a significant decrease in their voluntary running activity as soon as they become pregnant, and this study investigates the role of the hormone prolactin in this process.* -
- Researchers found that prolactin can quickly reduce running activity in non-pregnant female mice, and blocking prolactin receptors in specific brain areas prevents the expected reduction in activity during early pregnancy.* -
- The study suggests that while prolactin is a major player in limiting physical activity during early pregnancy, other factors may also contribute as pregnancy progresses.*
Purpose: MAPK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways play important roles in many tumors. In this study, safety, antitumor activity, and pharmacokinetics of buparlisib (pan class PI3K inhibitor) and trametinib (MEK inhibitor) were evaluated.
Experimental Design: This open-label, dose-finding, phase Ib study comprised dose escalation, followed by expansion part in patients with RAS- or BRAF-mutant non-small cell lung, ovarian, or pancreatic cancer.
