CD57+ EMRA CD8+ T CELLS IN CANCER PATIENTS OVER 70: ASSOCIATIONS WITH PRIOR CHEMOTHERAPY AND RESPONSE TO ANTI-PD-1/PD-L1 THERAPY

CD57+ EMRA CD8+ T cells in cancer patients over 70: associations with prior chemotherapy and response to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy

Abstract Background Immune ageing complicates cancer treatment in older individuals.While immunotherapy targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway can reinvigorate T cells, these cells tend to become senescent with age.This study investigates different CD8+ T cell subsets usually associated with senescence, in cancer patients over 70 years old who are underg

Near-term benefits from investment in climate adaptation complement long-term economic returns from emissions reduction

Abstract Previous studies have suggested that a combined strategy using both emissions abatement and climate adaptation can improve economic outcomes.Here, using a parsimonious economic-climate assessment model, we have shown that, relative to investment in abatement, adaptation has a much shorter timescale for economic return.Adaptation deployed i

Visual outcome and optical quality after bilateral implantation of aspheric diffractive multifocal, aspheric monofocal and spherical monofocal intraocular lenses: a prospective comparison

AIM: To evaluate the visual function after bilateral implantation of aspheric diffractive multifocal Tecnis ZMA00, aspheric monofocal ZA9003 versus spherical monofocal Akreos Adapt intraocular lenses (IOLs).METHODS: Tecnis ZMA00, Tecnis ZA9003 or Akreos Adapt IOLs were bilaterally implanted in 180 eyes from 90 patients.The following parameters were
