Signalling via the insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) has been associated with resistance to antiepidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2)-based therapies in the experimental system, but the coexpression and clinical significance of the IGF-IR, EGFR and HER-2 in cancer patients remains unclear. IGF-IR, EGFR, and HER-2 status was ass...

On Cunningham Chains

Let q be a prime with primitive root 2. We show that (a) if (pi) q−2 i=0 is a sequence of primes such that pi = 2pi−1 + 1 for all 1 ≤ i ≤ q − 2, then q divides p0 + 1 or p0 ∈ {2, 3, 5} and (b) if (pi) q−2 i=0 is a sequence of primes such that pi = 2pi−1 − 1 for all 1 ≤ i ≤ q − 2, then q divides p0 − 1 or p0 ∈ {2, 3}.
