In recent decades, immunotherapy has become a pivotal element in cancer treatment. A remaining challenge is the identification of cancer-associated antigens suitable as targets for immunotherapeutics with potent on-target and few off-tumor effects. The T-cell receptor gamma (TCRγ) chain alternate reading frame protein (TARP) was first discovered in...
The results of a 3 + 1 sterile neutrino search using eight years of data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory are presented. A total of 305 735 muon neutrino events are analyzed in reconstructed energy-zenith space to test for signatures of a matter-enhanced oscillation that would occur given a sterile neutrino state with a mass-squared difference...

Treatment with golimumab monotherapy in early peripheral SpA (pSpA) results in higher rates of clinical remission compared with treatment in more longstanding disease. When reaching remission, treat-to-target recommendations suggest tapering of treatment. We therefore explored whether addition of MTX would permit discontinuation of golimumab in pat...

Older adults, especially men and/or those with diabetes, hypertension, and/or obesity, are prone to severe COVID-19. In some countries, older adults, particularly those residing in nursing homes, have been prioritized to receive COVID-19 vaccines due to high risk of death. In very rare instances, the COVID-19 vaccines can induce anaphylaxis, and th...

Objectives: Definite diagnosis of myocarditis requires an endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) showing an inflammatory infiltrate. However, there are important limitations on establishing the diagnosis solely upon histological criteria. The main objective of this case report is to highlight the difficulty of diagnosis, but also to evaluate treatment in viru...

Patients with functional somatic syndromes (FSS) often display troubled relationships with health care providers, psychotherapists, and significant others. Research shows that patients' history of trauma, attachment disturbances, and mentalization deficits may result in the emergence of maladaptive interpersonal patterns, which may later contribute...
Long-term statistical data was explored, acquired, processed, and analysed in order to assess the historical domestic production and international trade of a number of cobalt-containing commodities in the EU. Different data sources were examined for data, such as the British Geological Survey (BGS), the US Geological Survey (USGS), and the Eumstat ...

Introduction: Guillain-Barré Syndrome usually presents with ascending symmetric polyneuropathy, typically preceded by a viral infection. Despite the low incidence, physicians will often include Guillain-Barré Syndrome in their differential diagnosis. However, another underlying cause of polyneuropathy known as ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is ev...

Recent research has emphasized the importance of within-person transactions between situational perceptions and borderline symptomatology. The current study extends current evidence by evaluating a broad range of situational perceptions and their transactions with borderline symptomatology across both private and professional contexts. Additionally...

Cardiac arrest in Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) is a rare event, and although some patients appear to be at greater risk, there is no consensus on clear risk factors. We present a case of a 23-year-old male patient, with a known history of WPW pattern, who suffered an out of hospital ventricular fibrillation after the consumption of rather small dose...
