An R0 resection margin does improve overall survival after PDAC resection- real-world evidence from 6.000 cases from the German Cancer Registry Group.

Background: To date surgical resection is the only curative treatment option for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, survival rates are poor. Resection margins have long been used as a surrogate to evaluate success of the surgery.

Application of phage surface display for the identification of Eu-binding peptides.

Europium as one of the rare earth elements (REE) has outstanding properties in terms of its application for high-tech and renewable energy products. The high supply risk of REE, coupled with their low recovery rates from secondary sources, necessitates innovative recycling approaches. We introduce a phage display-based peptide biosorbent recycling technology that offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for recovering metal ions, supporting circular economy goals.

Negative urgency accounts for associations between internalizing symptoms and lifetime nonfatal opioid overdose among patients from three urban Ohio emergency departments.

Existing evidence relates internalizing psychopathology to nonfatal opioid overdose. Identifying variables that account for associations between internalizing symptomology and overdose could improve clinical conceptualizations of overdose risk and inform testable, mechanistic hypotheses. Mood-based facets of impulsivity, such as negative and positive urgency, are promising candidate variables that have been linked to both internalizing symptoms and negative substance use outcomes.

Nanoparticles displaying fHbp elicit an enhanced antibody response against meningococcal B isolates compared to low valency fHbp antigens.

Serogroup B meningococcus (MenB) is one of the leading causes of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) in Western countries. While outbreaks of IMD are rare, this disease can lead to long-term disabilities and even death. These outbreaks typically occur in infants, children, and young adults.

100% oxygen mobilizes stem cells and up-regulates MIF and APRIL in humans: a new point on the hormetic dose curve.

Introduction: The aim of the current study was to test normobaric 100% oxygen (NBO) (PiO2 = 713 mmHg) for stem cell mobilization and cytokine modulation. Although current oxygen therapy (PiO2 = 1,473-2,233 mmHg) is well known to mobilize stem cells and modulate cytokine, little is known about NBO and its place on the low dose stimulation phase of the hormetic dose curve of oxygen. We asked the question, will NBO mobilize stem cells and modulate cytokines.
