Clotting factor concentrate (CFC), used to treat and prevent bleeding in hemophilia, is rendered ineffective if clotting factor neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) develop. Inhibitors occur most often in children, early in treatment. The American Thrombosis and Hemostasis Network (ATHN) 8: US Cohort Study of Previously Untreated Patients (PUPs) with Congenital Hemophilia, conducted in children born in 2010 to 2020 with severe or moderate hemophilia, was designed to determine the percentage of participants who developed a confirmed, clinically significant inhibitor within the first 50 CFC exposure days (EDs).

Treatment of patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer is a major clinical challenge. We found that high expression of a meiotic protein, Synaptonemal Complex Protein 2 (SYCP2), is associated with platinum resistance and tyrosine kinase ABL1 inhibitor sensitivity in ovarian cancer. We demonstrate that tyrosine kinase ABL1 inhibitors inhibit cancer cell proliferation more efficiently in ovarian cancer cell lines with SYCP2 overexpression.

The unit cell of the title compound, [Ni(CHNO)]·2CHOH, consists of a neutral complex and two methanol mol-ecules. In the complex, the two tridentate 2-[3-(benzo[][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-1-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl]-6-(1-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine ligands coordinate to the central Ni ion through nitro-gen atoms of the pyrazole, pyridine and triazole groups, forming a pseudo-octa-hedral coordination sphere. Neighbouring mol-ecules are linked through weak C-H(pz)⋯π(ph) inter-actions into monoperiodic chains, which are further linked through weak C-H⋯H/N/C inter-actions into diperiodic layers.

Two new benzene-sulfonyl derivatives, -(2-iodo-phen-yl)benzene-sulfonamide, CHINO, (), and -(4,5-di-fluoro-2-iodo-phen-yl)benzene-sulfonamide, CHFINOS, () were synthesized and structurally characterized. In both mol-ecular structures, the conformation of the N-C bond in the -SO-NH-C segment is relative to the S=O bond. For (), the crystal packing is dominated by N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions that link the mol-ecules into chains extending parallel to [010].

The increasing pollution of water bodies from various industrial wastewater discharges has raised significant environmental concerns because these effluents contain toxic, nonbiodegradable compounds that pose serious risks to living organisms. In particular, the textile and pharmaceutical industries routinely use dyes that severely degrade water quality and lead to significant environmental issues. Therefore, effective removal of these dyes from industrial wastewater is crucial for mitigating pollution.

Previous work has shown that nanoencapsulation of atrazine enhances the herbicidal action of this active ingredient. This increased activity is expected to control weeds and not compromise the tolerance of maize plants to the herbicide. This study aimed to evaluate the tolerance of maize plants to atrazine in postemergence application with different nanoformulations.

Medical school and health professions education can be stressful for students, leading them to neglect their personal wellbeing and adopt unhealthy lifestyle behaviours. The RCSI Certificate in Lifestyle Medicine was developed to provide evidence-based knowledge on six pillars of lifestyle medicine, and outline strategies to help students adopt healthy lifestyle behaviours which they can apply to their personal and professional lives. The aim of this study was to examine student's perceptions of their lifestyle behaviours and preparation for clinical practice following course completion.

Immunoglobulins (IGs) made by chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) B cells are unique in that they bind themselves (homo-dimerize). This interaction leads to signal transduction with functional consequences that depend on the affinity of homo-dimerization. We have studied the antigen-binding properties of the IGs from a subset of patients with CLL (Subset #4) that homo-dimerize at high affinity.

Background: Race associated differences and disparities in test scores, such as on neuropsychological measures, can complicate the interpretation of these test scores in student athletes following a concussion. It is unknown if there are race associated differences on the Sway Medical System, a battery that includes balance and cognitive tests for use in concussion management.

Purpose: To determine if there are race-associated differences in Sway Medical System balance and cognitive module scores among athletes undergoing preseason baseline testing.

Background And Objectives: Water is essential for proper physiological function. As temperatures increase, populations may struggle to meet water needs despite adaptations or acclimation; chronic dehydration can cause kidney damage. We evaluate how daily water requirements are associated with ambient temperature (ambT), wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT), urine specific gravity (USG; marker of hydration status), and albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR; kidney function biomarker) among Daasanach pastoralists living in a hot, dry northern Kenyan climate.

Study Objectives: Circulating non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) have been associated with impaired glucose metabolism but their modifiable determinants remain uncertain. We sought to determine the association between objectively-measured sleep disordered breathing (SDB), which is also associated with dysglycemia, and NEFA levels among community-dwelling older adults.

Methods: We analyzed 787 older adults who had total fasting and post-load NEFAs measured in 1996-1997 in the Cardiovascular Health Study and underwent polysomnography between 1995 and 1997 in the Sleep Heart Health Study.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS) has recently emerged as a promising material for the development of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) owing to its inherently negative triboelectric properties when paired with polymeric layers, along with its notable transparency and mechanical flexibility. However, MoS-based TENGs operating in the contact-separation mode encounter critical limitations, including mechanical wear and limited triboelectric performance, particularly within the constraints of conventional 2D geometries. This paper reports the novel one-step laser-assisted synthesis of hemispherical MoS through the controlled nucleation and growth of MoS precursor seeds.
