Introduction: Neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy has achieved overall survival (OS) benefit for patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, we present outcomes after 3 years of follow-up from the first reported study of neoadjuvant atezolizumab+chemotherapy.
Methods: This open-label, multicenter single-arm investigator-initiated phase II study conducted at three US hospitals tested up to four cycles of atezolizumab, carboplatin, and nab-paclitaxel prior to surgery.
Introduction Anthracosis is black discoloration of the bronchi, which can sometimes cause anthracofibrosis. Usually, exposure to biomass fuel, air pollution, or smoke at the workplace causes it. The objective of the current study was to determine the association between tuberculosis and anthracosis.

- Acute pseudo-obstruction of the colon, known as Ogilvie's syndrome, is a rare complication that can occur after surgery, most commonly seen after cesarean sections, with only one previous case linked to vaginal delivery.
- A case report details a 31-year-old woman who experienced severe abdominal pain and bowel perforation a week after giving birth vaginally, necessitating surgical intervention.
- The report highlights the importance of early detection and treatment of this condition to reduce the risk of serious outcomes, including death.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of heterologous (different) and homologous (same) COVID-19 vaccine booster doses in healthy adults in Pakistan, focusing on immune responses nine months post-vaccination.
- A total of 173 participants aged 18-25 received either Sinopharm BBIBP-CorV or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines, with antibody levels measured to compare immune responses.
- Results show that the Pfizer group had significantly higher IgG antibody levels compared to the Sinopharm group, suggesting that a third Pfizer dose after two Sinopharm doses enhances overall immune response, with no significant differences between genders.
In this work, poly(styrene)@poly(-isopropylmethacrylamide--2-(,-dimethyl)aminoethyl methacrylate [p(sty)@p(NIPMAM-DMAEMA)] core/shell microgel particles were produced by a two-step free-radical precipitation polymerization process. Ag nanoparticles were successfully embedded inside the sieves of a crosslinked network by using silver nitrate as the precursor salt and NaBH as the reductant. The synthesized pure and hybrid microgels were analyzed by various characterization tools, including Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and UV-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopies, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS).
