Breast cancer screening programmes can lead to better disease outcomes, but women from deprived backgrounds are less likely to participate and more likely to present with late-stage cancer. This study aimed to explore associations between deprivation and breast cancer screening outcomes in Ireland during 2009-2018. Data on all female breast cancer cases diagnosed in Ireland during 2009-2018 were extracted from the National Cancer Registry Ireland.

Background: Neoantigen-targeting therapies including personalized vaccines have shown promise in the treatment of cancers, particularly when used in combination with checkpoint blockade therapy. At least 100 clinical trials involving these therapies have been initiated globally. Accurate identification and prioritization of neoantigens is crucial for designing these trials, predicting treatment response, and understanding mechanisms of resistance.

Acoustic cues of healthy reefs are known to support critical settlement behaviors for one reef-building coral, but acoustic responses have not been demonstrated in additional species. Settlement of Favia fragum larvae in response to replayed coral reef soundscapes were observed by exposing larvae in aquaria and reef settings to playback sound treatments for 24-72 h. Settlement increased under 24 h sound treatments in both experiments.

Article Synopsis
  • * Study focused on the impact of pile driving sounds on the sound sensitivity of the squid species Doryteuthis pealeii, using auditory tests to measure changes in their sound detection abilities.
  • * Results showed no significant temporary changes in sound sensitivity in squids exposed to pile driving sounds, indicating that they may be resilient to noise from offshore windfarm construction.
