Resorcin[4]arene based fluorescent sensors RES-AAQ containing eight anthraquinone groups as binding sites, were developed for very accurate and sensitive detection of Fe metal ion. The motivation for this study lies in the need for advanced sensing techniques for precisely identifying Fe ions. Due to its unique redox properties, Fe plays a crucial role in biological processes, environmental remediation, medical diagnostics, and advanced detection methods.

Purpose: Biliary tract cancers (BTCs) are usually diagnosed in advanced stages, where treatment options are either palliative chemotherapy and/or best supportive care. The breakthrough results of the TOPAZ-1 trial demonstrated a 24% decrease in risk of death at 2 years with the addition of durvalumab to chemotherapy.

Materials And Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study conducted across 14 institutions in India.

Background: Immune check point inhibitors (ICIs) have an established role in Microsatellite-Instability-High (MSI-H) and Combined Positive Score (CPS) high advanced gastric/gastroesophageal (G/GE) adenocarcinomas, but there is limited real world data with regard to practice patterns, and efficacy of standard doses (SD-ICIs) and alternative lower doses (LD-ICIs).

Methods: A retrospective study of patients with advanced G/GE adenocarcinomas receiving ICIs was conducted. The primary endpoint of the study was 12-month overall survival (OS), which was computed by Kaplan-Meier method.

Article Synopsis
  • Type 2 diabetes (T2D) genome-wide association studies (GWASs) typically miss rare genetic variants due to limitations in previous imputation methods and insufficient whole-genome sequencing data.
  • In a large-scale study involving over half a million individuals, researchers uncovered 12 new genetic variants linked to T2D, including a rare enhancer variant near the LEP gene that significantly increases risk.
  • The study also analyzed ClinVar variants related to monogenic diabetes, identifying additional rare variants that affect T2D risk and offering new insights into the pathogenicity of certain variants previously deemed uncertain.
