Background: Extent of resection (EOR) is associated with survival in glioblastoma. A standardized classification for EOR was lacking until a system was recently proposed by the response assessment in neuro-oncology (RANO) resect group. We aimed to assess EOR in an unselected glioblastoma cohort and use this classification system to evaluate the impact on survival in a real-world setting.
Methods: We retrospectively identified all patients with histologically confirmed glioblastoma in Western Norway between 1.1.2007 and 31.12.2014. Volumetric analyses were performed using a semi-automated method. EOR was categorized according to the recent classification system. Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard ratios were applied for survival analyses.
Results: Among 235 included patients, biopsy (EOR class 4) was performed in 50 patients (21.3%), submaximal contrast enhancement (CE) resection (EOR class 3) in 66 patients (28.1%), and maximal CE resection (EOR class 2) in 119 patients (50.6%). Median survival was 6.2 months, 9.2 months, and 14.9 months, respectively. Within EOR class 2, 80 patients underwent complete CE resection (EOR class 2A) and had a median survival of 20.0 months, while 39 patients had a near-total CE resection, with ≤1 cm CE residual volume (EOR class 2B), and a median survival of 11.1 months, < 0.001. The 2-year survival rate in EOR class 2A was 40.0%, compared to 7.7% in EOR class 2B.
Conclusions: RANO resect group classification for the extent of resection reflected outcome from glioblastoma in a real-world setting. There was significantly superior survival after complete CE resection compared to near-total resection.

Effect of Size-Controlled Nanofluid on Mechanical Properties, Microstructure, and Rheological Behavior of Cement Slurry for Oil Well Cementing.

Department of Petroleum Engineering and Geoengineering, Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology, Jais, Amethi, Uttar Pradesh 229304, India.
The optimal design of cement slurry by balancing various cement additives and cement is critical for effective oil well cementation job. However, given adverse circumstances of application, existing additives may not be sufficient to perform suitably in challenging conditions, leading to premature cement hydration, formation of microcracks, and gas channeling pathways. Thus, this study explores the use of a single-step silica nanofluid (NP size: 5-10, 90-100, and 250-300 nm and concentration: 1, 3, and 5 wt %) as an additive and explores its effect on thickening time, fluid loss, and rheological behavior of class G cement slurry at high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) conditions (135 °C and 3625 psi).

Background: Although several meta-analyses have examined the association between bipolar disorder (BD) and its comorbid health outcomes, this evidence has not been comprehensively assembled.
Objective: We aimed to systematically review existing meta-analyses based on multiple physical outcomes and validate the evidence level by examining the existing certainty of evidence.
Methods: We systematically searched databases, including PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Google Scholar, and CINAHL, for articles published up to July 2023.
Incorporating Supramaximal Resection into Survival Stratification of IDH-wildtype Glioblastoma: A Refined Multi-institutional Recursive Partitioning Analysis.

Article Synopsis
- This study introduces a new way to classify patients with a type of brain cancer called IDH-wildtype glioblastomas by looking at how much of the tumor is removed during surgery.
- It involves 622 patients from one hospital and another 536 patients from three different hospitals, all of whom received standard cancer treatments and had tests to check their tumor characteristics.
- The new classification model shows that younger patients with certain tumor features have a better chance of living longer after surgery, compared to older patients or those with less successful surgeries.

Background: Comprehensive quantitative evidence on the risk and protective factors for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) effects is lacking. We investigated the risk and protective factors related to SIDS.
Methods: We conducted an umbrella review of meta-analyses of observational and interventional studies assessing SIDS-related factors.
Application of power-law committee machine to combine five machine learning algorithms for enhanced oil recovery screening.

One of the main challenges in screening of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques is the class imbalance problem, where the number of different EOR techniques is not equal. This problem hinders the generalization of the data-driven methods used to predict suitable EOR techniques for candidate reservoirs. The main purpose of this paper is to propose a novel approach to overcome the above challenge by taking advantage of the Power-Law Committee Machine (PLCM) technique optimized by Particle Swam Optimization (PSO) to combine the output of five cutting-edge machine learning methods with different types of learning algorithms.
