BOLD-100 in Combination with FOLFOX Is a Broadly Effective Therapeutic Strategy for Gastric Cancer
Gastric cancer has limited therapeutic options for advanced-stage disease and remains a major contributor to global cancer mortality. BOLD-100, a ruthenium-based compound that inhibits glucose-regulated protein (GRP78), has shown potential to enhance chemotherapy efficacy by disr...

“Here it Comes, the Lipstick Lobby” (1985–1988): Engendering democracy and Rethinking Law in Brazil
In late 1980s Brazil, an alliance that became known as the “Lipstick Lobby” (Lobby do Batom) mobilized to ensure a place for women in politics. The Lobby was more successful than has commonly been recognized whether by the public or in scholarly literature. An unprecedent scenari...

Fibonacci Growth and Halting Problem: Computable vs. Undecidable — E8 Intelligence Research
FINDING: Fibonacci growth rate (φ^n) and halting problem undecidability are structurally unrelated; one is computable, the other is not. | MATH: Fibonacci sequence: F_n = (φ^n - ψ^n)/√5, φ = (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.618, ψ = (1-√5)/2 ≈ -0.618. Growth rate is exponential with base φ. Halting...

Maribavir in lung transplant recipients with cytomegalovirus infection: real-life experience
Abstract Introduction Cytomegalovirus remains a major challenge in LTx recipients. Despite advances in antiviral therapy, refractory and resistant CMV infections persist, and real-world data on maribavir, a recently approved UL97 kinase inhibitor, are limited. Methods We retrospe...

Digging for Data: An Update on Northern Ireland's Digital Archaeological Archives
Sitting under the Department for Communities (DfC), the Historic Environment Division (HED) is the government lead on the historic environment, and is responsible for regulating and licensing every archaeological excavation that takes place in Northern Ireland. Every archaeologic...

Save or extract: A 10‐year dual‐center cohort comparing tooth preservation with implant replacement
PURPOSE: To compare long-term outcomes, complications, patient-reported outcomes, and costs of tooth preservation (endodontic treatment followed by long-term prosthodontic restoration) versus extraction with implant replacement at the endodontic-prosthodontic interface. MATERIALS...

Supporting Children with Medical Complexities: Strengths and Needs in Early Intervention
There is limited research related to Part C Early Intervention (EI) services for families of children with medical complexities (CMC). Given the extensive barriers that CMC and their families experience (e.g., financial hardships, ableism, frequent appointments, mental health pro...

On the Axiom of the Second Law of Thermodynamics and the Modelling of Flexoelectricity
The present paper addresses models of non-local materials and, in particular, flexoelectric materials as dielectrics with higher-order gradients. While the literature develops the subject through variational formulations, here the modelling is developed within a thermodynamic fra...
