Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab compared to carboplatin plus paclitaxel for carboplatin and paclitaxel pretreated, recurrent, or advanced endometrial cancer.

Background: Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab has demonstrated improved survival compared with doxorubicin or paclitaxel monotherapy in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancers (ECs). However, response rates to monotherapy are poor in recurrent settings. Herein, we performed a retrospective analysis using real-world data to compare the outcomes of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab, carboplatin plus paclitaxel (PT), and doxorubicin for patients with PT-pretreated, advanced, or recurrent ECs.

Analysis of Electron-Induced Chemical Transformations in Vapor-Phase-Synthesized Al-Based Inorganic-Organic Hybrid Thin Films for EUV Resist Platform.

The rapid advancement and stringent requirements of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography technology necessitate the development of advanced photoresist systems for next-generation microelectronics. Recent studies have demonstrated that inorganic-based hybrid photoresists offer notable improvements in EUV sensitivity, etch resistance, and greater insusceptibility to pattern collapse compared to their purely organic counterparts. However, variations in the synthesis/coating approaches and chemistry of inorganic-organic photoresists can result in distinct exposure mechanisms.

Development and validation of a dynamic prognostic nomogram for conditional survival in hepatocellular carcinoma: an analysis from the Korea Liver Cancer Registry.

Compared to overall survival, conditional survival is a more relevant measure of prognosis in surviving patients over time. This study developed and validated a nomogram-based dynamic prognostic model to predict the conditional survival estimates of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through an analysis of a nationwide cancer registry. This retrospective cohort study included 2492 patients with HCC registered in the Korea Liver Cancer Registry.

Evaluating the impact of a navigation system on the initial cases of robotic gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Robotic gastrectomy for gastric cancer presents challenges for novice surgeons owing to the lack of tactile feedback, particularly during complex procedures, such as lymph node dissection. To address these issues, a vascular navigation system was developed to enhance procedural safety and efficiency by providing three-dimensional vascular and anatomical guidance. We retrospectively analyzed 49 patients who underwent robotic distal gastrectomy at Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital.

Highly Efficient Thermoelectricity Based on Self-Doped Carbon Nanotubes through the Repetitive Filtration Process.

The superiority of thermoelectric (TE) performance based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) has conventionally involved the pursuit of a highly pure semiconducting ()-SWCNT and subsequent doping. Herein, we report that a minute quantity of metallic ()-SWCNT facilitates the doping of -SWCNT, leading to the highest achieved power factor (PF) and figure of merit () among SWCNT film-based TE devices without compromising the Seebeck coefficient (α). The controlled introduction of trace amounts of -SWCNT in -SWCNT films is achieved through repetitive filtration (RF) processes for film preparation.
