Mashup Score: 1Adjuvant and neoadjuvant use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in NSCLC - Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology - 2 year(s) ago
The neoadjuvant and adjuvant use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is increasing, with pembrolizumab approved as adjuvant therapy following surgical resection and chemotherapy by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in early 2023. However, clinical trials of these agents have several key limitations including the use of surrogate endpoints…

Mashup Score: 1
Background Adjuvant immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) following chemoradiotherapy and adding ICB to chemotherapy have been key advances for stages III-IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. However, known biomarkers like PD-L1 are not consistently indicative of ICB response. Other markers within the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) may better reflect ICB response and/or resistance…

Mashup Score: 1Hierarchical status is rapidly assessed from behaviourally dominant faces - Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience - 2 year(s) ago
Recognition of social hierarchy is a key feature that helps us navigate through our complex social environment. Neuroimaging studies have identified brain structures involved in the processing of hierarchical stimuli, but the precise temporal dynamics of brain activity associated with such processing remains largely unknown. In this investigation, we used event-related potentials (ERPs) to…

Mashup Score: 1Loneliness as Cause - Topoi - 2 year(s) ago
While loneliness has been linked to various mental and physical health problems, the sense in which loneliness is a cause of these conditions has so far attracted little philosophical attention. This paper aims to fill this gap by analyzing research on health effects of loneliness and therapeutic interventions through current approaches to causality. To deal with the problem of causality between…

Mashup Score: 3Limitations of “Limitations of Bayesian Leave-one-out Cross-Validation for Model Selection” - Computational Brain & Behavior - 2 year(s) ago
In an earlier article in this journal, Gronau and Wagenmakers (2018) discuss some problems with leave-one-out cross-validation (LOO) for Bayesian model selection. However, the variant of LOO that Gronau and Wagenmakers discuss is at odds with a long literature on how to use LOO well. In this discussion, we discuss the use of LOO in practical data analysis, from the perspective that we need to…
