Blood-stage malaria vaccine candidate RH5.1/Matrix-M in healthy Tanzanian adults and children; an open-label, non-randomised, first-in-human, single-centre, phase 1b trial by Silk, SE, Kalinga, WF, Salkeld, J, Mtaka, IM, Ahmed, S, Milando, F, Diouf, A, Bundi, CK, Balige, N, Hassan, O, Mkindi, CG, Rwezaula, S, Athumani, T, Mswata, S, Lilolime, NS, Simon, B, Msami, H, Mohamed, M, David, DM, Mohammed, L, Nyaulingo, G, Mwalimu, B, Juma, O, Mwamlima, TG, Sasamalo, IA, Mkumbange, RP, Kamage, JJ, Barrett, JR, King, LDW, Hou, MM, Pulido, D, Carnrot, C, Lawrie, AM, Cowan, RE, Nugent, FL, Roberts, R, Cho, J-S, Long, CA, Nielsen, CM, Miura, K, Draper, SJ, Olotu, AI, Minassian, AM

“…Children received either 10 μg RH5.1 at 0, 1, and 2 months (Children 10M) or 10 μg RH5.1 at 0, 1, and 6 months (delayed third dose regimen; Children 10D), and were recruited in parallel, followed by children who received the dose-escalation regimen (Children DFx) and children with higher malaria pre-exposure who also received the dose-escalation regimen (High Children DFx). …”

Analyses of human vaccine-specific circulating and bone marrow-resident B cell populations reveal benefit of delayed vaccine booster dosing with blood-stage malaria antigens by Barrett, JR, Silk, SE, Mkindi, CG, Kwiatkowska, KM, Hou, MM, Lias, AM, Kalinga, WF, Mtaka, IM, McHugh, K, Bardelli, M, Davies, H, King, LDW, Edwards, NJ, Chauhan, VS, Mukherjee, P, Rwezaula, S, Chitnis, CE, Olotu, AI, Minassian, AM, Draper, SJ, Nielsen, CM

“…Within protein/adjuvant groups, delayed boosting further improved B cell immunogenicity compared to a monthly boosting regimen. Consistent with this, delayed boosting also drove more durable anti-DBPRII serum IgG. …”

Efficacy of cannabinoids for the prophylaxis of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting—a systematic review and meta-analysis by Chow, R, Basu, A, Kaur, J, Hui, D, Im, J, Prsic, E, Boldt, G, Lock, M, Eng, L, Ng, TL, Zimmermann, C, Scotte, F

“…However, there was no difference between cannabinoid and active treatment alternatives (most using dated single-agent regimens) for any outcomes. A recent phase II/III trial demonstrated superior efficacy of THC:CBD for secondary prevention of CINV when used as adjunctive therapy alongside modern antiemetic regimens, albeit mostly without olanzapine. …”

Long contraction scour by Koh, Chun Wei

“…Using the incomplete self-similarity method and regression analysis of the database, a predictive scour depth equation was proposed which is suitable for applications with uniform and non-uniform sediments. It was found that the maximum scour depth in a long contraction depends mainly on the effect of the densimetric Froude number (Fo,d84), width ratio of the uncontracted to the contracted channel (B1/B2), sediment gradation (σg), and the relative sediment size (d84/h1). …”
