Article Abstract

It is unclear whether intensive services for women using drugs during pregnancy can reduce child maltreatment. Within-subjects, dose-response analyses can be conducted using Child Protective Services (CPS) reports. Dose of services received can indicate either engagement or higher need for services. Using data from an intensive intervention program for mothers of drug-exposed infants, the authors examined associations between CPS reports and (a) dose of services received and (b) a termination status variable combining dose of services received with duration of service involvement and progress on treatment plan goals. Cox regression revealed no association between dose of services and follow-up CPS reports. The termination status variable was strongly related to follow-up CPS reports, such that higher ratings were associated with significantly lower risk of re-report, even after controlling for baseline motivation. Findings suggest that program effects may be detectable using a treatment process-- based index that combines dose, duration, and quality of program involvement.

Hyperkalemia is a common and serious complication in dialysis patients, with increased incidence and severity over time. Newer potassium binders, patiromer and sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC), offer improved tolerability compared to older agents. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of these newer binders in dialysis patients.

Cyclic peptides (CPs) are versatile building blocks whose conformational constraints foster ordered supramolecular architectures with potential in biomedicine, nanoelectronics, and catalysis. Herein, we report the development of biomimetic antifreeze materials by conjugating CPs bearing ice-binding residues to 4-arm polyethylene glycol (PEG) via click chemistry. The concentration-dependent self-assembly of these CP-PEG conjugates induces programmable morphological transitions, forming nanotube networks above the critical aggregation concentration (CAC) and two-dimensional nanosheet networks near the CAC.

Fe-X (X=C, P, S) atom pair-decorated g-CN monolayers for sensing toxic thermal runaway gases in lithium-ion batteries: A DFT Study.

The thermal runaway of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) releases a mixture of toxic and explosive gases, posing severe safety risks. High-performance sensors are critical for the early detection of these thermal runaway gases (TRGs) to prevent accident escalation. Herein, we systematically investigate Fe-X (X=C, P, S) atomic pair-modified g-CN (FCN, FPN, FSN) monolayers as potential sensing materials for six TRGs (CO, CO, H, CH, CH, and CH) using first-principles calculations.

PD-L1 expression in locally advanced cervical cancer: A pilot cross clone comparison study.

Department of Radiation Oncology, Advanced Centre for Treatment Research and Education in Cancer, Tata Memorial Centre, Homi Bhabha National Institute, Mumbai, India. Electronic address:

Purpose: Recent immunotherapy trials in locally advanced cervical cancer report high PD-L1 positivity rates whereas academic multicentric initiatives report a lower PD-L1 positivity. These observations necessitate cross-clone comparison to understand the observed differences.

Methods: Two different clones used in previous multicentric international studies SP142 (BIOEMBRACE) and 22C3 (KEYNOTE-A18) were used to test PD-L1 positivity in a pilot cohort of FIGO 2018 stage III cervical cancer patients recruited in a phase III trial.

Purpose: This study examined head and neck cancer treatment outcome priorities in patients with human papillomavirus-associated oropharyngeal cancer (HPVOPC) before and 12 months (12m) after (chemo)radiotherapy ([C]RT).

Methods And Materials: Eligible patients were diagnosed with HPVOPC suitable for curative-intent primary [C]RT. Study data included responses to a modified version of the Chicago Priorities Scale (CPS-modified) and select items from the MDASI Head and Neck Cancer Module (MDASI-HN).
