EMA Review of Daratumumab (Darzalex) for the Treatment of Adult Patients Newly Diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma

The use of daratumumab in combination with established regimens for the treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma has recently been authorized by the European Medicines Agency based on results from three separate phase III randomized, active controlled, open-label studies that have confirmed enhanced efficacy and tolerability in both transplant-ineligible (MMY3008 and MMY3007) and transplant-e

Den perfekta stormen. Kan EU-arbetsrätten sänka Sjöräddningssällskapet?

Frivilligarbete har efter ett par avgöranden i EU-domstolen kommit under särskild belysning också av Parlamentet. Rättspraxis har skjutit frivilligarbete allt närmare definitionerna av anställning och förvärvsarbete, i vart fall avseende vissa bestämmelser. Artikeln konstaterar att frivilligarbete är ett betydande del av det svenska civilsamhället - exempelvis organiseras i princip all sjöräddning

The role of women's emotional profiles in birth outcome and birth experience

OBJECTIVE: The aim was to investigate birth outcome and birth experience in relation to women's emotional heslth. An additional aim was to explore the relationship between emotional health, continuity with a known midwife, and the birth experience.METHODS: A prospective longitudinal cohort study of 243 women enrolled in a continuity of care project in a rural area in Sweden. Profiles were construc

A-769662 inhibits adipocyte glucose uptake in an AMPK-independent manner

Activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is considered a valid strategy for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, despite the importance of adipose tissue for whole-body energy homeostasis, the effect of AMPK activation in adipocytes has only been studied to a limited extent and mainly with the AMP-mimetic 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-b-d-ribofuranoside (AICAR), which has limited

Wind and Wood : Affordances of Musical Instruments: The Example of the Simple-System Flute

The aim of this doctoral dissertation is to explore and describe the relationship and interaction between musicians and their instruments. In order to achieve a high level of detail, a certain instrument is in focus: the simple-system flute. Although primarily developed as a product of 19th-century Western art music, this instrument has since become established in other genres and traditions.EmpirThe aim of this doctoral dissertation is to explore and describe the relationship and interaction between musicians and their instruments.

Urokinase plasminogen activator (u-PA) in serous ovarian tumors. Translocation of mrna expression from the epithelium in benign and well differentiated to the stroma in poorly differentiated tumors

Degradation of extracellular matrix, is a prerequisite for processes like tumor invasion and angiogenesis. Numerous studies indicate that plasminogen activation, initiated by u-PA, is a key process in malignant tumor growth. The expression of u-PA as well as its receptor is increased in malignant ovarian tumors. Additionally, u-PA stimulates signal transduction leading to cell proliferation and mi

α1-microglobulin – Therapeutic opportunities in kidney and erythrocyte pathology

Oxidative stress is defined as an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants. The reasons behind the condition are diverse, and can result in, or contribute to, the severity of many diseases. The body has different protective mechanisms to reduce the oxidative burden, among them a protein called α1-microglobulin (A1M). A1M possesses a unique set of molecular properties enabling it to act as aradi

Iran Is Using Violence to Put Pressure on Biden

Multiple missiles were fired at Erbil on February 15, killing at least one civil contractor and injuring at least one American national. It is likely that the attack was conducted by an Iranian proxy in order to put pressure on President Biden to lift the sanctions against the country and return to the 2015 nuclear deal.

A Comparison of Eye Tracking Latencies Among Several Commercial Head-Mounted Displays

A number of virtual reality head-mounted displays (HMDs) with integrated eye trackers have recently become commercially available. If their eye tracking latency is low and reliable enough for gaze-contingent rendering, this may open up many interesting opportunities for researchers. We measured eye tracking latencies for the Fove-0, the Varjo VR-1, and the High Tech Computer Corporation (HTC) Vive

Platelet extracellular vesicles mediate transfusion-related acute lung injury by imbalancing the sphingolipid rheostat

Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a hazardous transfusion complication with an associated mortality of 5% to 15%. We previously showed that stored (5 days) but not fresh platelets (1 day) cause TRALI via ceramide-mediated endothelial barrier dysfunction. As biological ceramides are hydrophobic, extracellular vesicles (EVs) may be required to shuttle these sphingolipids from platelet

An agenda for sustainability transitions research : State of the art and future directions

Research on sustainability transitions has expanded rapidly in the last ten years, diversified in terms of topics and geographical applications, and deepened with respect to theories and methods. This article provides an extensive review and an updated research agenda for the field, classified into nine main themes: understanding transitions; power, agency and politics; governing transitions; civi
