Abstract

Background: Although strongly associated with tobacco and alcohol use, many oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) cases occur in patients without exposure to either, known as "never‐smoker, never‐drinkers" (NSND). We aimed to compare clinical outcomes between NSND and tobacco/alcohol‐exposed populations and to define demographic characteristics of NSND. Methods: We performed a retrospective, single‐institution cohort study of 672 OCSCC patients. Cox models were used to estimate differences in overall survival (OS) and recurrence‐free survival (RFS) between NSND and tobacco/alcohol‐exposed patients while adjusting for confounders. Results: NSND represented 25.6% of our cohort and were older, more female, and more economically advantaged. Among NSND, oral tongue tumors dominated in younger patients, while alveolar ridge tumors dominated in elderly patients. Multivariate survival analysis revealed no differences in OS or RFS between NSND and tobacco/alcohol‐exposed patients. Conclusion: When adjusted for independent biologic features, clinical outcomes in OCSCC are similar between NSND and tobacco/alcohol‐exposed patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2006., Includes bibliographical references (p. 53-54)., Much information can be obtained from knowing what tasks the user does on his or her cell phone. This paper describes GuiDE, an automated user-activity recognition system on the mobile phone. GuiDE's unique approach to activity recognition exploits GUI screenshots taken as the individual interacts with their cell phone. These screenshots are aggregated into a graph to help probabilistically determine whether or not a set of screenshots can be considered a user-level activity. A frequency count of different sets of screenshots is also kept to act as a sanity check against the probabilistic result. GuiDE is just a partial step towards a much more powerful tool that can correlate GUI information with other services to provide a better understanding of user activity., by Emily Z. Yan., M.Eng.

Abstract

The article discusses about the stimulator of interferon (IFN) genes (STING) pathway constitutes a highly important part of immune responses against various cancers and infections. It mentions that the expression of STING lacking the transmembrane domain as known to be unresponsive to STING agonists and is dominant negative when co-expressed with the full-length STING inside cells.
