A phase III clinical trial showed efgartigimod significantly improved sustained platelet response and doubled platelet counts in patients with chronic ITP. The treatment demonstrated effectiveness across various patient demographics, with minimal side effects.
Researchers from USTC found that temporal lobe epilepsy patients require more control energy to activate limbic networks compared to healthy controls. Glucose metabolism levels are inversely correlated with control energy consumption, suggesting lower baseline metabolism requires more energy.
The FAST telescope has detected unprecedented detail about the distribution of neutral hydrogen gas in the Milky Way, revealing fine structures across 88 square degrees. The team also found evidence for magnetic field reversals along spiral arms and confirmed shell-type supernova remnants.
Researchers have demonstrated successful re-treatment with CAR T cell therapy for patients whose cancers relapsed after previous treatment. The novel fourth-generation CAR T therapy, huCART19-IL18, showed safe and potent antitumor efficacy in a Phase I clinical trial.
Researchers from The Mount Sinai Hospital found that talquetamab, a bispecific antibody, was successful in killing multiple myeloma cells in over 70% of patients. This therapy directs the immune system to target cancer cells and has shown promise even for those who have resisted all other treatments.
A new treatment protocol has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of aggressive childhood leukemia returning after chemotherapy. The ALL-11 protocol, which includes an extra year of maintenance chemotherapy for children with specific genetic mutations, has improved five-year survival rates and quality of life for these patients....
Researchers from USTC achieved contactless ECG monitoring through a millimeter-wave radar system, demonstrating high accuracy and reliability for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases. The new method showed a median timing error of less than 14 milliseconds and a morphology accuracy higher than 90% compared to conventional ECGs.
USTC scientists made a significant breakthrough in ab initio computing simulation of complex metallic heterostructures with 2.5 million atoms. This achievement is expected to be applied in the construction of 2D-materials-based transistors.
An international study found that an intermediate level of anticoagulation had a high probability of being better than low dose anticoagulation, with no increased risk of bleeding. The study's findings inform WHO guidelines and provide evidence for a middle ground in COVID treatment.
Researchers used pollen records from four montane conifers to estimate past elevation of northern Tibet Plateau, revealing rapid uplift during the Middle to Late Miocene epochs. The study supports prevailing theoretical models of Tibet Plateau formation and highlights its impact on atmospheric water vapor transport and rainfall patterns.
