Disentangling Sources of Momentum Fluctuations in Xe+Xe and Pb+Pb Collisions with the ATLAS Detector.

High-energy nuclear collisions create a quark-gluon plasma, whose initial condition and subsequent expansion vary from event to event, impacting the distribution of the eventwise average transverse momentum [P([p_{T}])]. Disentangling the contributions from fluctuations in the nuclear overlap size (geometrical component) and other sources at a fixed size (intrinsic component) remains a challenge. This problem is addressed by measuring the mean, variance, and skewness of P([p_{T}]) in ^{208}Pb+^{208}Pb and ^{129}Xe+^{129}Xe collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.

Survival Outcomes with Regorafenib and/or Trifluridine/Tipiracil Sequencing to Rechallenge with Third-Line Regimens in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: A Multicenter Retrospective Real-World Subgroup Comparison from the ReTrITA Study.

Background: There is ongoing discussion around the optimal course of treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) following the second line. Trifluridine/tipiracil (T) and regorafenib (R) have been the mainstay of therapy in this situation, as they both increased overall survival (OS) in comparison to a placebo. Despite the paucity of evidence, therapy rechallenge is also recognized as an option for practical use.

Actin-based deformations of the nucleus control mouse multiciliated ependymal cell differentiation.

Ependymal cells (ECs) are multiciliated cells in the brain that contribute to cerebrospinal fluid flow. ECs are specified during embryonic stages but differentiate later in development. Their differentiation depends on genes such as GEMC1 and MCIDAS in conjunction with E2F4/5 as well as on cell-cycle-related factors.

Critical role of protein kinase CK2 in chronic myeloid leukemia cells harboring the T315I BCR::ABL1 mutation.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the fusion protein BCR::ABL1, a constitutively active tyrosine kinase. The frontline treatment, represented by tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), has dramatically improved the clinical outcomes of patients. However, TKI resistance through various mechanisms has been reported.

Churg-Strauss Syndrome: A Case of Laryngeal Presentation.

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), among various organs and systems, can affect the upper respiratory tract. The otolaryngologist must be able to suspect the pathology with the appearance of the first signs and recognize its late complications. Laryngeal involvement is rare and difficult to diagnose.
