0 vs. 3.0months; P = 0.075). For patients with relapsed NSCLC, the combination therapy in the  ≥ second-line setting (n = 62) resulted in significantly higher objective response rate (19.3 vs. 5.0 vs. 2.4%; P = 0.013) and longer PFS (8.0 vs. 2.0 vs. 2.0months; P <0.001) as compared to monotherapy of either chemotherapy (n = 41) or PD-1 in…[Read more]

2% of all test strip lots). Bias of test strip lots that showed ≥95% of results within the limits ranged from -10.3% to +7.4%. The half-width of the 95%-LoA of test strip lots that showed ≥95% of results within the limits ranged from 4.8% to 24.0%.

Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) is an essential practice for child health as well as for maternal health. This study aims to determine trends, prevalence, and factors associated with EIBF in Bangladesh. Data for this study were extracted from Bangladesh demographic and health surveys (BDHS) 2004, 2007, 2011, and 2014. This study found an…[Read more]

Furosemide is commonly prescribed in critically ill patients to increase the urine output and prevent fluid overload (FO) and acute kidney injury (AKI), but not supported by conclusive evidence. There remain conflicting findings on whether furosemide associates with AKI and adverse outcomes. Information on the impact of furosemide on adverse…[Read more]

0408); as well as some specific MetS components e.g., a decrease in fasting blood glucose (p=0.045). The beneficial effects of EPA+DHA were even more pronounced in patients treated mainly with olanzapine, e.g. significant reductions of total cholesterol (p=0.037) and blood glucose levels (p=0.034). Significant positive correlations were found…[Read more]

99Na0.01S, respectively.Organic ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence (OURTP) with a long-lived triplet excited state up to several seconds has triggered widespread research interests, but most OURTP materials are excited by only ultraviolet (UV) or blue light owing to their unique stabilized triplet- and solid-state emission feature. Here,…[Read more]

Encountering suitable hosts is key for parasite success. A general assumption for disease transmission is that the contact of a parasite with a potential host is driven by the density or relative frequency of hosts. That assumption ignores the potential role of differential host attractiveness for parasites that can drive the encounter of hosts.…[Read more]
