This Phase I study investigated the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO), a CD22-directed antibody-drug conjugate, in pediatric patients with multiple-relapsed/refractory (R/R) CD22-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Patients (≥1-

Objective: To develop and validate Clinical Diversity In Meta-analyses (CDIM), a new tool for assessing clinical diversity between trials in meta-analyses of interventions. Study design and setting: The development of CDIM was based on consensus work informed by empirical literature and expertise. We drafted the CDIM tool, refined it, and validated CDIM for interrater scale reliability and agreeme

Rhombohedral-stacked few-layer graphene (FLG) displays peculiar electronic properties that could lead to phenomena such as high-temperature superconductivity and magnetic ordering. To date, experimental studies have been mainly limited by the difficulty in isolating rhombohedral FLG with thickness exceeding 3 layers and device-compatible size. In this work, we demonstrate the synthesis and transfe

A numerical investigation has been conducted to study the convective heat transfer enhancement and friction loss behaviors for turbulent flow by using arrays of differently shaped ribs combined with delta-winglet vortex generators (DWVGs) pair on the absorber plate of a solar air heater. Four transverse vortex generators arrays, i.e., 90° continuous ribs, 90° truncated ribs, 60° V-shaped continuou

An overview of the development, and use of, fictive languages in literature, movies and TV-shows from ancient Greece to 2021.

The difficult manufacturing of helical baffles hinders the widespread application of the enhancement technology and the shortcut leakage between adjacent baffles impairs the enhancement effects. To solve these two issues, the promising anti-leakage and easy-to-manufacture helical baffles with small inclined angle and folded structure are proposed, which can be produced by 2D laser cutting and simp

A 9-bit 1-MS/s successive-approximation (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for ultra low power radio applications using 130 nm CMOS is presented. The ADC achieves a power consumption of 7/μW according to simulation results. This ultra low power is realized by employing a maximally simplified ADC architecture that consists of a dynamic latch comparator, a charge redistribution digital-to-analo

Image Processing is rapidly expanding as a technique for object and defect analysis because of the high ease of its coupling to automation and IT solutions. Yet, issues with transferability of the measurement approaches and metrics currently used in mechanical systems often remain unsolved. Study reports on the developed approach for shape and defectiveness characterization by combining Delaunay t

A number of scholars and industry professionals have claimed that there has been a ‘software-biased shift’ in the nature and direction of innovation, in that software development is a core part of innovation activities in firms across a wide array of industries. Empirical firm-level evidence of such a shift is still scant. In this paper, we employ new and unique firm-level survey data on the frequ

The characteristics of the Solid-state Neutron Detector, under development for neutron-scattering measurements at the European Spallation Source, have been simulated with a Geant4-based computer code. The code models the interactions of thermal neutrons and ionising radiation in the 6Li-doped scintillating glass of the detector, the production of scintillation light and the transport of optical, s

Dockless bike-sharing systems (DLBS) have gained much popularity due to their environmentally friendly features. This study puts forward a distinctive framework for assessing the environmental influences of DLBS in high resolution based on DLBS transaction data. The proposed framework firstly estimates the transport mode substituted by DLBS for each recorded bike-sharing trip by utilizing the rout

Introduction: Breast cancer (BC) screening using digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has been shown to increase cancer detection compared with mammography; however, it is unknown whether DBT impacts interval cancer rate (ICR). Methods: We systematically identified prospective DBT studies reporting data on screen-detected and interval BCs to perform a study-level meta-analysis of the comparative eff

Septins are an example of subtle molecular recognition whereby different paralogues must correctly assemble into functional filaments important for essential cellular events such as cytokinesis. Most possess C-terminal domains capable of forming coiled coils which are believed to be involved in filament formation and bundling. Here, we report an integrated structural approach which aims to unravel

In this paper, we introduced a novel approach for generating unit gradient vectors named as adaptive gradient directions (AGD) for reconstructing single and decussating (crossing or kissing) white matter fibers in brain. The present study is focusing on reconstruction process of brain's white matter fibers but not dealing with data acquisition where scanning is performed. The gradient vectors used
