In situ detection of individual classical MHC-I gene products in cancer.

Tumor-specific HLA class I expression is required for cytotoxic T-cell elimination of cancer cells expressing tumor-associated or neo-antigens. Cancers downregulate antigen presentation to avoid adaptive immunity. The highly polymorphic nature of the genes encoding these proteins, coupled with quaternary-structure changes after formalin fixation, complicate detection by immunohistochemistry.

Inflammatory disease in people with multiple sclerosis treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

This study evaluated disease activity in people with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) who received immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) compared to PwMS not treated with ICIs. There were 108 PwMS included (27 PwMS+ICIs and 81 PwMS controls), matched on age, sex, disease duration, DMTs, and MS disease course. Of 27 PwMS+ICIs, one (4%) had a relapse and four (15%) developed new MRI lesions without clinical symptoms.

The Relationship between Diet Costs and Dietary Adequacy: A Scoping Review of Measures and Methods with a Focus on Cost Estimation using Food Supply Data.

Background: "Diet cost" refers to a methodological approach developed by Drewnowski et al. to estimate individual daily diet costs, where cost vectors are derived by matching prices from food supply data to the food sources of reported intakes from dietary assessment tools. The dietary assessment method and food price collection approach have been found to vary diet cost estimates.

Structurally Selective Ozonolysis of -Phenylenediamines and Toxicity in Coho Salmon and Rainbow Trout.

The tire-rubber-derived ozonation product of -(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-'-phenyl--phenylenediamine (6PPD), -(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-'-phenyl--phenylenediamine-quinone (6PPD-Q), was recently discovered to cause acute mortality in coho salmon (). -Phenylenediamines (PPDs) with variable side chains distinct from 6PPD have been identified as potential replacement antioxidants, but their toxicities remain unclear under environmentally relevant ozone conditions. We herein tested the multiphase gas-surface ozone reactivity of four select PPDs [6PPD, -isopropyl-'-phenyl--phenylenediamine (IPPD), ,'-diphenyl--phenylenediamine (DPPD), and -phenyl-'-cyclohexyl--phenylenediamine (CPPD)] and evaluated the toxicity of their reaction mixtures in coho salmon, rainbow trout (), and fathead minnow ().

The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on delirium incidence in Ontario long-term care homes: A retrospective cohort study.

Objectives: To describe delirium incidence before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and examine factors associated with delirium incidence in the long-term care setting.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of Ontario long-term care residents without severe cognitive impairment or baseline delirium with an assessment between February 1, 2019, and March 31, 2021. Data were collected from the interRAI Minimum Data Set (MDS) 2.
