Nineteen children who had EEG diffuse slow frequency profiles suggesting a maturational lag were retested 1 to 2 years later receiving both EEG and psychometric assessments. They were compared to 18 children who also had been tested previously but did not have the slow frequency profile. Children with the maturational lag profile displayed varying degrees of EEG developmental change upon retest; i.e., some showed the expected developmental change while others remained the same. Within this group, there were significant relationships between the degree of EEG change and psychometric scores. Those that demonstrated the most EEG change had higher psychometric indices, and these relationships were not obtained in the comparison group. These findings suggest developmental heterogeneity with respect to brain maturation as measured by the EEG and also suggest that test-retest EEG data can clarify a maturational lag diagnosis.

Purpose: Orvacabtagene autoleucel (orva-cel; JCARH125), a CAR T-cell therapy targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), was evaluated in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients in the EVOLVE phase 1/2 study (NCT03430011). We applied a modified piecewise model to characterize orva-cel transgene kinetics and assessed the impact of various covariates on its pharmacokinetics (PK).
Experimental Design: The population PK analysis included 159 patients from the EVOLVE study.
Stock-recruitment relationships depend on the total abundance of females, their fecundity, and patterns of their maturation. However, the effects of climatic conditions on the abundance, biomass, and mean weight of female red king crabs, , from the introduced population (Barents Sea) have not yet been studied. For this reason, we analyzed long-term fluctuations in stock indices and the average weight of an individual crab in a small bay of the Barents Sea and related these parameters to the dynamics of temperature conditions (temperature in January-December, mean yearly temperature, and temperature anomaly) in the sea.

Cells damage by protein aggregates is one of the causes of amyloid diseases. This study aimed to explore the structural features of cytotoxic amyloid fibrils and to find strategies to reduce their damaging effect. Bovine carbonic anhydrase B (BCAB) was chosen for this work due to high toxicity of its amyloid fibrils.

The currently available immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) often fail to achieve the desired clinical outcomes due to inadequate immune activation, particularly in patients with lung cancer. To reverse this situation, we synthesized inhalable PFCE-C25 nanoemulsions (NEs), which target lymphocyte activation genes (LAG-3) on immune cells within tumor microenvironment and tumor-draining lymph nodes (TDLNs). By combining in vivo F-MR molecular imaging, we investigate the immunological effects of a single low-dose PFCE-C25 NEs in multiple murine lung cancer models, including human immune system (HIS) mouse models, and validated its immunological effects in human TDLNs.
