Article Synopsis
- Since the 1970s, Arctic sea ice has changed significantly, becoming thinner and less resilient to summer melting, with snow cover playing a crucial role in this.
- The Arctic Oscillation affects Arctic snowfall and temperatures, and this study explores its impact on summer snow depth on Arctic sea ice between 1980-2020, using atmospheric and satellite data.
- Findings indicate that the positive phase of the Arctic Oscillation leads to more snow accumulation and higher summer albedo, which helps reduce sea-ice melt, but this influence has weakened post-2007, suggesting future changes in the climate may alter this relationship.
Purpose: Patients with IDH-mutant 1p/19q-codeleted grade 3 oligodendroglioma (O3) benefit from adding alkylating agent chemotherapy to radiotherapy (RT). However, the optimal chemotherapy regimen between procarbazine, 1-(2-Chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea (CCNU), and vincristine (PCV) and temozolomide (TMZ) remains unclear given the lack of randomized trial data comparing both regimens.
Methods: The objective was to assess the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) associated with first-line PCV/RT versus TMZ/RT in patients newly diagnosed with O3.
Objectives: There has been little focus on the non-cancer causes of death in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Therefore, we aimed to assess the frequency and risk of different causes of death, stratified by tumor stage, and demographics, after a diagnosis of RCC in the United States.
Materials And Methods: Data on eligible patients with RCC from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2018, in the United States were retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) places a heavy load on healthcare systems worldwide. Despite significant advancements in care, the TBI-related mortality is 30-50% and in most cases involves adolescents or young adults. Previous literature has suggested that neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) may serve as a sensitive biomarker in predicting clinical outcomes following TBI.
