Trying to Kill a Killer; Impressive Killing of Patient Derived Glioblastoma Cultures Using NK-92 Natural Killer Cells Reveals Both Sensitive and Highly Resistant Glioblastoma Cells by Jane Yu, Hyeon Joo Kim, Jordyn Reinecke, James Hucklesby, Tennille Read, Akshata Anchan, Catherine E. Angel, Euan Scott Graham

“…In addition, our imaging provides evidence that some NK-92 cells appear to be compromised early, which would be consistent with potent evasive mechanisms by the glioblastoma tumour cells. This research strongly highlights the potential for NK-92 cells to kill glioblastoma tumour cells and provides a basis to identify the mechanism utilised by the surviving glioblastoma cells that we now need to target to achieve maximal cytolysis of the resistant glioblastoma cells. …”

World Café approach: exploring the future vision of oral anticoagulants for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) in Ireland by Colin Bradley, Stephen McCarthy, Aileen Murphy, Stephen Brosnan, Paidi O’Raghallaigh, Ann Kirby

“…The benefits of embracing technological advances for clinicians and patients were evident; however, clinicians indicate this can increase pressure on already stretched resources; coupled with institutional barriers (including scarce resources) arising from the complex nature of anticoagulation for patients with AF, which emerged strongly. Including the unpredictable nature of warfarin, hidden costs associated with monitoring, adverse clinical effects, different patient cohorts (including those prescribed anticoagulant for the first time vs those switching from warfarin to a new oral anticoagulant (NOAC)), non-adherence concerns and undesirable impacts on patients’ daily lives.Conclusions While anticoagulation therapy for patients with AF using NOACs has been widely adopted and is diffusing into routine practice, significant operationalisation issues and barriers to effective treatment/management persist. …”

Motor Imagery EEG Classification Based on Multi-Domain Feature Rotation and Stacking Ensemble by Xianglong Zhu, Ming Meng, Zewen Yan, Zhizeng Luo

“…Methods: Initially, we extract the features of Time Domain, Frequency domain, Time-Frequency domain, and Spatial Domain from the EEG signals, and perform feature selection for each domain to identify significant features that possess strong discriminative capacity. Subsequently, local rotation transformations are applied to the significant feature set to generate a rotated feature set, enhancing the representational capacity of the features. …”
