Article Synopsis
- Combined immuno-oncology regimens, particularly ipilimumab and nivolumab, are widely used for treating metastatic renal cell carcinoma but can lead to notable immune-related adverse effects (irAEs).
- A case study of a 66-year-old man showed rare irAEs, including giant cell temporal arteritis (GCA) and severe encephalopathy, that developed after continued immunotherapy; both conditions were effectively managed with corticosteroids.
- The patient achieved a durable partial response after treatment, emphasizing the need for caution in future immunotherapy decisions, especially for patients with a history of serious irAEs like GCA.
Objectives: Long lower limbs relative to body size are thought to be an adaptation to prevent excessive increases in body temperature during running in hot climate. The advantage of long lower limbs relative to body size is usually explained by an increase in body surface area relative to mass; however, the influence of limb length on relative body surface area was shown to be minor. We aimed to experimentally test the effect of relative lower-limb length (LLL) on body temperature changes during running.

- Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) is a powerful technique for studying ferroelectric materials at a nanoscale but can produce misleading signals due to electrostatic interactions.
- The study introduces a calibration process and a method to identify the parasitic phase offset, enhancing the accuracy of the phase-amplitude loops.
- The techniques combine switching spectroscopy-PFM (SS-PFM) and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) to quantify local imprint voltages in various materials, revealing the significance of correct read voltage selection and allowing detailed mapping of imprint voltage variations in BaTiO single crystals.
Marine environments are subject to various naturally occurring phenomena, including marine snow and mucilage. In 2021, the rapid emergence of mucilage in the Marmara Sea raised concerns about its environmental impact. This study investigates the microbial communities in mucilage and seawater samples from the Marmara Sea using metagenomic-scale comparative analyses.

The development of molecular biomarkers that can predict the response to treatment and guide personalized therapy selection would substantially improve patient outcomes. Dysregulation of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) has been shown to have a role in the pathogenesis of ccRCC.
