Dynamic nomogram for predicting the overall survival and cancer-specific survival of patients with gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor: a SEER-based retrospective cohort study an... by Yipu Wang, Gongning Wang, Chao Song, Wenqian Ma, Xiuli Zheng, Shuo Guo, Qi Wang, Lan Zhang, Limian Er

“…KM curves indicated that each of the two nomograms clearly differentiated the high-, medium-, and low-risk groups. In addition, two online risk calculators were developed to predict the OS and CSS of these patients visually.ConclusionsOur nomograms may play an important role in predicting 3- and 5-year OS and CSS for GI-net patients. …”

Effect of repeated intra-articular administration of collagen as a treatment for knee osteoarthritis: a case report by Yong In, Saad Mohammed Alshammari, Man Soo Kim

“…Collagen, the primary component of articular cartilage, has a long half-life, making it a promising candidate for intra-articular injections with a low risk of serious side effects. The first of the two cases in this report involved a woman in her early 70s with a 6-year history of persistent left knee pain. …”

MONITORING PERFORMANCE OF LATERITE BASE TRIAL SECTION: A CASE OF ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA by Alemgena ARAYA

“…Out of the various field data measurements carried out in each monitoring period (wet and dry season) the paper reviews the in-situ dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) test results and visual condition assessment observations. It is demonstrated that for such low volume roads laterite base trial sections are performing well, however DCP test results in these sections reveals that the crushed base control sections perform slightly better than the laterite base trial sections and the sections in cut are stronger than in fill while the shoulder sealing doesn’t provide consistent effect on the layer strengths. …”

Combinatorial Synthesis, Screening, and Binding Studies of Highly Functionalized Polyamino-amido Oligomers for Binding to Folded RNA by Jonathan K. Pokorski, Daniel H. Appella

“…In order to rapidly assess RNA binding, a quantum dot-based fluorescent screen was developed to visualize RNA binding on-resin. The binding affinities of hits were quantified using a terbium footprinting assay, allowing us to identify a ligand (SFF) with low micromolar affinity (kd=14 μM) for TAR RNA. …”
