Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) management varies throughout developing nations. This observational study aims to present the results of children having HL who received various combinations of chemotherapy treatment. The response-based method was used regardless of the risk classification. We recruited patients≤ 18 years of age diagnosed with HL in an Iraqi cancer center between January 2014 and December 2021. By stratifying patients, three risk categories were identified. Every patient initially received two cycles of ABVD as induction chemotherapy. Following induction chemotherapy, patients showing a full radiological response continued on ABVD chemotherapy for 4-6 cycles without receiving radiotherapy. Patients showing a modest initial response received three additional courses of COPDac next to the third cycle of ABVD, followed by radiotherapy. This study included fifty-nine patients with a median age of 7 years. Stage III patients accounted for 33.9% (n=20), then stage II (32.2%). B symptoms were present in 25 patients. Eleven children had initial splenic involvement. Fifty-two individuals (n = 19; 32.2%) had bulky disease. Mixed cellularity was the most prevalent histology (n=44). The median duration of follow-up was 2.7 years. EFS was 78% ±10%, and survival was 92% at 5-year estimation. Bulky disease was the only factor with a substantial unfavorable impact on the result. Response-based approach is a valuable strategy in nations with limited resources to prevent long-term sequelae from unnecessary radiotherapy.

Importance: Retrieval strategies for children, adolescents, and young adults with relapsed classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) aim to maintain efficacy while minimizing long-term toxic effects. Children, adolescents, and young adults with low-risk, relapsed cHL may benefit from replacing high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant with less intensive involved-site radiotherapy (ISRT).

Objective: To evaluate a risk-stratified, response-adapted, transplant-free approach for treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults with low-risk relapsed cHL with nivolumab plus brentuximab vedotin (BV) followed by BV plus bendamustine for patients with suboptimal response and ISRT (30.

Soybean-wheat sequence, one of the most vital cropping systems for farmers, has been suffering for productivity stagnation and decline due to several factors. Strategic management of the inputs particularly the nutrients could aid the crops achieve optimum growth and yield. Keeping this in mind, four years of field experiment was conducted to study the effect of combining inorganic as well as organic nutrient sources using soil-test-crop-response (STCR) approach in a randomized block design having ten treatments including control, 100% Recommended Dose of Fertilizers (RDF), 50% RDF, 100% RDF + 5 kg Zn ha (100% RDF + Zn), 100% RDF + 5 t farmyard manure ha (100% RDF + FYM), 50% RDF + 5 t farmyard manure ha (50% RDF + FYM), STCR inorganic with target yield-I (STCR TY-I), STCR inorganic with TY-II, STCR integrated with TY-I (STCR TY-I) and STCR integrated with TY-II (STCR TY-II) with each treatment replicated thrice.

Background: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is commonly treated with methylphenidate (MPH). Although highly effective, MPH treatment still has a relatively high non-response rate of around 30%, highlighting the need for a better understanding of treatment response. Radiomics of T1-weighted images and Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) combined with machine learning approaches could offer a novel method for assessing MPH treatment response.

Optoelectronic synaptic transistors possess the capability to simultaneously accomplish perception and process functions within a single device, thereby not only addressing the limitations of von Neumann architectures but also serving as a promising candidate for emulating neural vision systems. The extensive range of organic semiconductor materials offers a plethora of possibilities for device fabrication; however, the severe recombination of photogenerated carriers imposes limitations on the utilization of organic p-n bulk heterostructures in synaptic transistor construction. By incorporating an insulating polymer and implementing a p-n planar heterojunction architecture, the 30% PCBM@PAN-DPPDTT transistor was constructed using the PCBM/DPPDTT heterojunction and the PCBM@PAN photoresponsive charge trapping layer.

Biosensors play key roles in medical research and diagnostics. However, the development of biosensors for new biomolecular targets of interest often involves tedious optimization steps to ensure a high signal response at the analyte concentration of interest. Here we show a modular nanosensor platform that facilitates these steps by offering ways to decouple and independently tune the signal output as well as the response window.
