This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"A new study has found that the amount of agitation experienced by residents of care homes who have dementia has an important impact on their quality of life. At least forty percent of people living with dementia experience significant symptoms of agitation. These include restlessness, pacing, shouting, and verbal or even physical aggression. People with dementia who display such behavior are more likely to move to a care home. The study, the largest of its type ever conducted, explored how agitation affects the quality of life of this growing population of people. Researchers interviewed more than 1400 residents with dementia and staff caregivers in 92 care homes in England. They also talked to next-of-kin and staff looking after the residents. The goal was to understand staff coping style and to monitor resident’s quality of life and agitation over a period of 16 months. Caring for people living with dementia can be challenging..."

The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Colorectal cancer is the most common cancer worldwide and among the top 3 causes of cancer-related death in men and women. Despite advances in diagnosing and treating colorectal cancer prognosis remains poor because of persistent mechanisms of tumor proliferation. A new study has zeroed in on one protein that could be behind some of these mechanisms of colorectal cancer spread. JARID1B is a demethylase enzyme encoded by the gene KDM5B and has been implicated in the development of several cancers, including breast, prostate, and liver cancer. Researchers found that JARID1B was significantly upregulated in colorectal cancer tissue versus adjacent normal tissue. In patients with colorectal cancer, high JARID1B expression was associated with poor overall survival. Experiments revealed that JARID1B promoted the spread of colorectal tumor cells through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Specifically, by inhibiting the protein CDX2..."

It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death among men and women and carries a poor prognosis; the percentage of patients living five years after diagnosis is just 5 to 10%. But certain patients with pancreatic cancer could fare better than others. A new study suggests that patients with a deficiency in genes responsible for responding to DNA damage could experience significantly superior outcomes compared with other patients following platinum-based chemotherapy. The findings support broader testing for germline mutations in patients with pancreatic cancer, as certain mutations could enhance the effects of anticancer therapeutics. The authors of the study reviewed medical records and genetic testing results to identify patients with pancreatic cancer who harbored mutations in DNA-damage response genes, including the breast cancer genes BRCA1 and 2. These genes help repair DNA breaks that can lead to cancer and uncontrolled tumor growth..."

The Lost in the Amazon curricular unit is a series of minds-on and hands-on engineering activities based on an adventure scenario set in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. Students imagine themselves to be a team of EnviroTech engineers returning to the U.S. from a conference in Brasilia, Brazil. When their plane crashes deep in the Amazon forest, they work in groups to overcome various obstacles in their quest to survive and reach the nearest city as quickly and safely as possible. Motivated by this adventurous theme, students discover, learn and apply the following: 1) classification of plants and insects; 2) general categorizing skills; 3) process skills: problem solving and critical thinking; 4) scientific testing and experimentation; 5) materials properties.

Phase 2 study of ceritinib in alectinib-pretreated patients with ALK-rearranged metastatic NSCLC in Japan: ASCEND-9

It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"One of the key oncogenic drivers in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer is rearrangements to the anaplastic lymphoma kinase, or ALK, gene. Inhibitors of this gene have led to promising responses in patients, but the gene rearrangements complicate treatment efforts by facilitating the emergence of drug resistance. To help overcome this, researchers are turning to the drug ceritinib. Results from the recent phase 2 ASCEND-9 study showed that ceritinib can lead to effective treatment responses when similar drugs like alectinib stop working. Ceritinib is a selective oral ALK inhibitor that’s been approved for treating patients with metastatic ALK-positive non-small-cell lung cancer. The drug has demonstrated significant and meaningful improvements in progression-free survival in global phase 3 trials compared to chemotherapy. However, the efficacy and safety of ceritinib in patients who’ve grown resistant to the ALK inhibitor alectinib hasn’t been clear..."

The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"A recent study published in the British Journal of Nutrition suggests that enterolactone, an estrogen-like compound formed by the breakdown of whole grains and other plant-based foods by gut bacteria, could protect against the risk of death due to colorectal cancer—at least, for women. For men, just the opposite could be true: high concentrations of the compound might actually increase that risk. The findings, published as part of a special issue on nutrition and cancer, point to a potentially significant link between diet and survival after colorectal cancer that warrants a much closer look by researchers. The authors of the study reached those conclusions by examining data from the “Diet, Cancer and Health” study, an ongoing cohort study of older men and women in Denmark. Specifically, they compared the death outcomes of people with varying levels of enterolactone in their blood plasma, before being diagnosed with colorectal cancer..."
