Statin drugs enhance responses to immune checkpoint blockade in head and neck cancer models by Chrystal Paulos, Gregory B Lesinski, Zachary S Buchwald, Nabil F Saba, Vikash Kansal, Andre J Burnham, Brendan L C Kinney, Nicole C Schmitt

“…Results from flow cytometry of tumors and tumor-draining lymph nodes suggested T cell activation and shifts from M2 to M1 macrophage predominance as potential mechanisms of combination therapy.Conclusions These results suggest that statins deserve further study as well-tolerated, inexpensive drugs that may enhance responses to PD-1 checkpoint blockade and other immunotherapies for HNSCC.…”

Augmented Reality for extremity hemorrhage training: a usability study by Krishant Tharun, Alberto Drogo, Carmine Tommaso Recchiuto, Serena Ricci, Serena Ricci

“…It includes a training scenario with a multimodal interactive system made of visual and audio cues, that would adapt to user's learning pace and feedback preference.ResultsUsability tests on 20 subjects demonstrated that the system is well tolerated in terms of discomfort and workload. Also, the system has been high rated for usability, user experience, immersion and sense of presence.DiscussionThese preliminary results suggest that the combination of AR with multimodal cues can be a promising tool to improve hemorrhage management training, particularly for unexperienced users. …”

2D SnSe2 micro-flower decorated with 0D In2O3 nanoparticles for low-temperature low-concentration TEA detection by Li Wang, Jianpeng Li, Cheng Xu, Ziqin Yang, Xiangyun Tan, Zhihu Dong, Li Xu, Dongwei Zhang, Chunqing He

“…In addition, the SnSe2/In2O3 sensor is essentially unaffected by humidity in the 30% RH to 60% RH range, and the SnSe2/In2O3 sensor response value decreases slightly in the 70% RH to 97% RH range, demonstrating excellent humidity tolerance. More importantly, the sensor maintained excellent cyclic-stability performance during a four-month cyclic stability test. …”

Reversible multivalent carrier redox exceeding intercalation capacity boundary by Yuanhe Sun, Rui Qi, Qi Lei, Wei Zhang, Haitao Li, Mengru Lin, Hao Shi, Jianrong Zeng, Wen Wen, Yi Gao, Xiaolong Li, Chunyi Zhi, Daming Zhu

“…Despite plausibility, this high-capacity dream is untenable with the total tolerable redox charge-transfer limit of the host material for all carrier species equally, which is historically assumed to depend on the material rather than the guest carrier itself, and the kinetic hysteresis induced by larger charge/radius ratios induced kinetic hysteresis further enlarges the divide. …”
