The pancreatic cancer microenvironment: an immunologic battleground

Recent studies of human pancreatic cancer challenge the mouse model-derived notion that the pancreas is a site of immune privilege. A heavy infiltration of CD8+ T cells expressing programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and smaller numbers of myeloid cells and regulatory T cells provides rationale for the clinical evaluation of immune checkpoint inhibition as a pancreatic cancer therapeutic strategy.

A Handset Identifier Using Suppo

In this paper, we present a new approach to handset identification using Support Vector Machines (SVMs) [1]. The inconsistency of audio characteristics among different handsets significantly degrades the performance of speaker recognition [2]. If a speaker recognizer can identify the handset a speaker is using, it can perform the recognition by selecting a model trained specifically on that han...

Bundling of Handset and Subscription

Bundling of handset and subscription is already a widely used concept. This is being done by the mobile operators because they believe that it increase the appeal to the potential end-users. Another concept that is closely related to bundling of handset and subscription is the subsidization of handsets. A handset subsidy allows the end-users to get their handsets at deep discount, or even for f...

Timely care for frail older people: the next battleground.

Timely care for frail older people: the next battleground SIR—I read with interest the article by Silvester et al. [1] describing improvements in access to older peoples specialty beds using implementation and improvement science over a 2-year period. The paper is significant in its timing and its rigour. If Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) improves outcomes for frailer older adults wit...
