Interfaces As a Source of Sulfate Formation in Sea-Salt Particles” (II) In the laboratory, Laskin et al. (1) studied the role of the surface reaction OH Cl 3 OH Cl for influencing the pH and oxidation of S(IV) in the marine boundary layer. They concluded that it increases the sulfate production rate in tropospheric sea-salt particles. However, in their extrapolation to atmospheric conditions th...

Background: Eating can be a significant challenge for cancer survivors; however, to date there is no systematic way of assessing and addressing food related quality of life in this group. The purpose of our study was to develop a framework for doing so. Methods: Over the course of 6 years in participant-led food workshops, we worked alongside 25 head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors and their pa...

Surface defects acutely influence perovskite solar cell performance. In this issue of Matter, Wang et al. developed a novel and compelling molecular “defect indicator” approach, notable for minimizing surface evaluating passivation strategies. The performance metal halide cells has improved rapidly in the past decade, with certified power-conversion efficiency now exceeding 25%.1Yoo J.J. Seo G....

Combination therapy of pegylated interferonwith ribavirin (PEG-IFN/RBV) is a standard of care for chronic hepatitis C (CHC). The majority of CHC patients are infected with HCV genotype I. The recent discovery revealed by a genome-wide association study technology provides the important role of interleukin-28B (IL28B) and inosine triphosphatase (ITPA) in HCV infection. In addition, response to P...

Purpose: YM155, a novel molecular targeted agent, suppresses survivin, a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein family that is overexpressed in many tumor types. The aim of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of YM155 in patients with advanced refractory solid tumors. Experimental Design: Patients ...

Three publications were selected based on the strength of the research questions, but also because they represent different research designs that are used with varying degrees of frequency in the paediatric literature. The first, a prospective, longitudinal cohort observation study from 7 to 16 years with girls and boys reports an intrinsic reduction in absolute resting energy expenditure after...
