Abstract Selecting appropriate defensive behaviours for threats approaching the space surrounding the body (peripersonal space, PPS) is crucial for survival.The extent of defensive PPS is measured by recording the hand-blink reflex (HBR), a subcortical defensive response.Higher-order cortical areas involved in PPS representation exert top-down modu
Abstract Background The natural history of non-metastatic castrate refractory prostate cancer is unknown and treatment options are limited.We present a retrospective review of 13 patients with locally advanced or high risk prostate cancer, initially treated with hormone monotherapy and then treated with prostate radiation after becoming castration
Restricted by block size and the block generation rate, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin were unable to significantly improve their scalability through on-chain approaches.Payment channel networks (PCN) were recognized as one of the most important methods to achieve scalability through off-chain modes.However, traditional PCN utilizing a lockable stru
Zeolites and zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are widely studied as drug carrying nanoplatforms to enhance the specificity and efficacy of traditional anticancer drugs.At present, there is no other systematic review that assesses the potency of zeolites/ZIFs as anticancer drug carriers.Due to the porous nature and inherent pH-sensitive proper
Background/Objectives: Since the discovery of oncogenic neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase (NTRK) gene fusions in colorectal cancer in 1986, their understanding has evolved, particularly in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) over the past five years.NTRK rearrangements, involving NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3, drive tumorigenesis and have been identif
