Despite its efficacy and widespread use, radiation therapy is often associated with local or distal tumor relapse. We have recently found that CD8+ T cells and their cytokines are essential for maintaining irradiated neoplasms under control. In line with this notion, enhancing T-cell functions by means of immune checkpoint inhibitors can tilt the balance toward tumor rejection.

Ice flow lines are the most dominant feature of ice sheet surfaces. Accurate delineation basins is a prerequisite for mass balance. We therefore propose new weight balance-based approach to extract present comprehensive and then re-delineate Antarctic basin on this basis. In our approach, we define three impact factors represent directional accuracy, smoothness, physical character. Following th...

background and aim: children with hearing loss and children with intellectual developme­ntal disorders have defects in organizing and sensory integration. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of hearing impairment and intellectual disability on children's static and dynamic balance. methods: this cross-sectional comparative stu­dy was conducted on 17 boys with congenital severe to ...

PURPOSE It seems that there is an association between the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and stability of the knee. This study aimed to evaluate the balance condition of the injured and non-injured sides of the coper and non-coper ACL-D (deficient) subjects during single and bilateral standing conditions. METHODS This case-control study was carried out on 10 coper and 5 non-coper ACL-D knee...

BACKGROUND Little evidence exists regarding how prosthesis design characteristics affect performance in tasks that challenge mediolateral balance such as turning. This study assesses the influence of prosthetic foot stiffness on amputee walking mechanics and balance control during a continuous turning task. METHODS Three-dimensional kinematic and kinetic data were collected from eight unilate...

Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process in collisionless space plasma environment, and waves relevant to the kinetic interactions can have significant impact on multiscale behavior of reconnection. Here, we present Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) observations during an encounter X line symmetric magnetic magnetotail. The characterized by reversals ion electron jets electromagnetic fields...
