Background And Objectives: Standard treatment of patients with stage II/III esophageal or gastroesophageal junction (E/GEJ) cancer involves neoadjuvant chemoradiation (nCRT), resection, and immunotherapy. Our trial evaluated the addition of perioperative avelumab to standard treatments.
Methods: Patients with resectable E/GEJ cancers received avelumab with nCRT and adjuvant avelumab after resection.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed data from 450 patients, finding that 310 were classified as ultra-low risk (ULR) based on their rapid clinical response and low MAP scores, leading to significantly better outcomes.
- * Patients in the ULR group had higher response rates at day 28 and lower non-relapse mortality at six months, suggesting that careful monitoring can guide safer, more effective GVHD treatment strategies.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses advancements in light-driven 3D additive manufacturing, focusing on the photothermal laser-printing of sub-micrometer ZnO structures for microelectronics.
- It highlights three key improvements: using single-crystalline ZnO for better structure, utilizing dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to achieve higher temperatures, and employing specialized substrates for improved light to heat conversion.
- The process is noted for its efficiency since it requires no post-processing and can be conducted without a cleanroom environment, simplifying the fabrication of crystalline semiconductors.
Background: Methadone is an effective and widely used medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD). Within in the United States (US), older adults represent an increasing proportion of those receiving MOUD, yet little is known about characteristics of older individuals in these programs.
Objectives: To evaluate mental and physical health characteristics of younger and older adults receiving MOUD and test whether age moderates the relation between physical and mental health variables.
