Autogene cevumeran with or without atezolizumab in advanced solid tumors: a phase 1 trial.

Effective targeting of somatic cancer mutations to enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy requires an individualized approach. Autogene cevumeran is a uridine messenger RNA lipoplex-based individualized neoantigen-specific immunotherapy designed from tumor-specific somatic mutation data obtained from tumor tissue of each individual patient to stimulate T cell responses against up to 20 neoantigens. This ongoing phase 1 study evaluated autogene cevumeran as monotherapy (n = 30) and in combination with atezolizumab (n = 183) in pretreated patients with advanced solid tumors.

Social Determinants of Health Affecting Retinopathy of Prematurity Follow-up Attendance.

Purpose: To identify social determinants of health (SDOH) associated with follow-up attendance of pre-term infants with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) after neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) discharge.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study, conducted at a single academic tertiary care center, included preterm infants screened for ROP from July 2018 to December 2022. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected from a preexisting NICU database.

Antisemitism in Medicine: An International Perspective.

Throughout history, Jewish people have long been recognized for their achievements in the world of medical science. For example, prior to the Holocaust, many outstanding physicians in Germany were Jewish. However, even in the 1930s, refugee European Jewish doctors faced significant barriers when they tried to escape and practice elsewhere because of long-standing prejudices and anti-Jewish quotas in medical schools and hospitals around the world.

Visible Light Photolysis at Single Atom Sites in Semiconductor Perovskite Oxides.

Designing catalysts with well-defined active sites with chemical functionality responsive to visible light has significant potential for overcoming scaling relations limiting chemical reactions over heterogeneous catalyst surfaces. Visible light can be leveraged to facilitate the removal of strongly bound species from well-defined single cationic sites (Rh) under mild conditions (323 K) when they are incorporated within a photoactive perovskite oxide (Rh-doped SrTiO). CO, a key intermediate in many chemistries, forms stable geminal dicarbonyl Rh complexes (Rh(CO)), that could act as site blockers or poisons during a catalytic cycle.

AC Plasmas Directly Excited in Liquid-Phase Hydrocarbons for H and Unsaturated C Hydrocarbon Production.

AC plasmas directly excited within liquid hydrocarbons were investigated for the production of hydrogen and unsaturated C hydrocarbon in a recirculating liquid "jet" flow configuration. Arc discharges were excited at two different frequencies (60 Hz and 17.3 kHz) in C-C hydrocarbons (hexane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, and xylene) to produce H, CH, CH, and CH, along with liquid and solid carbon byproducts.
