Internally Catalyzed Hydrogen Atom Transfer (<i>I-CHAT</i>)—A New Class of Reactions in Combustion Chemistry by Rubik Asatryan, Jason Hudzik, Venus Amiri, Mark T. Swihart

“…To assess the possible impact of the <i>I-CHAT</i> channels on global fuel combustion characteristics, we performed a detailed kinetic analysis of the isomerization and decomposition of γ-C5-KHP comparing <i>I-CHAT</i> with key alternative reactions—direct dissociation and Korcek channels. Calculated rate parameters were implemented into a modified version of the <i>n</i>-pentane kinetic model developed earlier using RMG automated model generation tools (<i>ACS Omega,</i> 2023, <i>8,</i> 4908). …”

A multicentre implementation trial of an Artificial Intelligence-driven biomarker to inform Shared decisions for androgen deprivation therapy in men undergoing prostate radiotherap... by Eric Wegener, Michael Ng, Mario Guerrieri, Timothy N. Showalter, Jeremy de Leon, Sagar Ramani, Marcus Dreosti, Tee Lim, Bradley Wong, Michael Chao, Kathryn Hogan, Avi Raman, Scott McClintock, Darren Foreman, Matthew Brown, Stephen McCombie, Kevin McMillan, Kieran Beattie, Mark Frydenberg, Lih-Ming Wong, Dickon Hayne, John Yaxley, Phillip Stricker, Jarad Martin

“…Abstract Background Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) improves outcomes in men undergoing definitive radiotherapy for prostate cancer but carries significant toxicities. Clinical parameters alone are insufficient to accurately identify patients who will derive the most benefit, highlighting the need for improved patient selection tools to minimize unnecessary exposure to ADT’s side effects while ensuring optimal oncological outcomes. …”
