TL;DR: The EORTC trial 22844 has not revealed the presence of radiotherapeutic dose-response for patients with LGG for the two dose levels investigated with this conventional setup, but objective prognostic parameters are recognized.
Abstract: Purpose : Cerebral low-grade gliomas (LGG) in adults are mostly compose of astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, and mixed oligoastrocytomas. There is at present no consensus in the policy of treatment of these tumors. We sought to determine the efficacy of radiotherapy and the presence of a dose-response relationship for these tumors in two multicentric randomized trials conducted by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC). The dose-response study is the subject of this article. Methods and Materials : For the dose-response trial, 379 adult patients with cerebral LGGs were randomized centrally at the EORTC Data Center to receive irradiation postoperatively (or postbiopsy) with either 45 Gy in 5 weeks or 59.4 Gy in 6.6 weeks with quality-controlled radiation therapy. All known parameters with possible influences on prognosis were prospectively recorded. Conventional treatment techniques were recommended. Results : With 343 (91%) eligible and evaluable patients followed up for at least 50 months with a median of 74 months, there is no significant difference in terms of survival (58% for the low-dose arm and 59% for the high-dose arm) or the progression free survival (47% and 50%) between the two arms of the trial. However, this prospective trial has revealed some important facets about the prognostic parameters: The T of the TNM classifications as proposed in the protocol appears to be one of the most important prognostic factors (p Conclusion : The EORTC trial 22844 has not revealed the presence of radiotherapeutic dose-response for patients with LGG for the two dose levels investigated with this conventional setup, but objective prognostic parameters are recognized. The tumor size or T parameter as used in this study appears to be a very important factor.

TL;DR: EuReCa ONE very clearly demonstrates marked differences in the processes for data collection and reported outcomes following OHCA all over Europe, which highlights that OHCA is still a major public health problem accounting for a substantial number of deaths in Europe.

TL;DR: This paper will review a series of studies using the Experience Sampling Method that suggest that altered sensitivity to stress is an endophenotype for psychosis, and suggests that women were more likely to display elevated stress-reactivity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present opportunities for future research on OI, organized at different levels of analysis, and discuss some of the contingencies at these different levels, and argue that future research needs to study OI - originally an organisational-level phenomenon.
Abstract: This paper provides an overview of the main perspectives and themes emerging in research on open innovation (OI). The paper is the result of a collaborative process among several OI scholars – having a common basis in the recurrent Professional Development Workshop on ‘Researching Open Innovation’ at the Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management. In this paper, we present opportunities for future research on OI, organised at different levels of analysis. We discuss some of the contingencies at these different levels, and argue that future research needs to study OI – originally an organisational-level phenomenon – across multiple levels of analysis. While our integrative framework allows comparing, contrasting and integrating various perspectives at different levels of analysis, further theorising will be needed to advance OI research. On this basis, we propose some new research categories as well as questions for future research – particularly those that span across research domains that have so far developed in isolation.

TL;DR: It is shown that the common filaggrin (FLG) null mutations that cause ichthyosis vulgaris and predispose to eczema and secondary allergic diseases are ancestral variants carried on conserved haplotypes, and a strategy for full sequencing of this large, highly repetitive gene is reported.
Abstract: We recently reported two common filaggrin (FLG) null mutations that cause ichthyosis vulgaris and predispose to eczema and secondary allergic diseases. We show here that these common European mutations are ancestral variants carried on conserved haplotypes. To facilitate comprehensive analysis of other populations, we report a strategy for full sequencing of this large, highly repetitive gene, and we describe 15 variants, including seven that are prevalent. All the variants are either nonsense or frameshift mutations that, in representative cases, resulted in loss of filaggrin production in the epidermis. In an Irish case-control study, the five most common European mutations showed a strong association with moderate-to-severe childhood eczema (chi2 test: P = 2.12 x 10(-51); Fisher's exact test: heterozygote odds ratio (OR) = 7.44 (95% confidence interval (c.i.) = 4.9-11.3), and homozygote OR = 151 (95% c.i. = 20-1,136)). We found three additional rare null mutations in this case series, suggesting that the genetic architecture of filaggrin-related atopic dermatitis consists of both prevalent and rare risk alleles.
