Somatic gene mutation patterns and burden influence outcomes with enasidenib in relapsed/refractory IDH2-mutated AML by Risueño, A, See, WL, Bluemmert, I, de Botton, S, DiNardo, CD, Fathi, AT, Schuh, AC, Montesinos, P, Vyas, P, Prebet, T, Gandhi, A, Hasan, M

“…We recently reported results from the phase 3 IDHENTIFY trial (NCT02577406) showing improved response rates and event-free survival with enasidenib monotherapy compared with conventional care regimens (CCR) in heavily pretreated, older patients with late-stage R/R AML bearing IDH2 mutations. Here we investigated the prognostic impact of mutational burden and different co-mutation patterns at study entry within the predominant IDH2 variant subclasses, IDH2-R140 and IDH2-R172. …”

Graphene metamaterials for intense, tunable, and compact extreme ultraviolet and X-ray sources by Pizzi, Andrea, Rosolen, Gilles, Wong, Liang Jie, Ischebeck, Rasmus, Soljačić, Marin, Feurer, Thomas, Kaminer, Ido

“…For 5 MeV electrons, a metamaterial of 50 layers and length 50 µm, and a beam current of 1.7 µA, it is, for instance, possible to generate X-rays of intensity 1.5 × 107 photons sr-1 s-1 1%BW, 580 times more than for a single-layer design. …”

How to Hold a Grudge : From Resentment to Contentment- the Power of Grudges to Transform Your Life / by Hannah, Sophie, 1971- author 649175

“…But aren't we supposed to just forgive, forget, and move on? Bearing a grudge is too negative, right? Wrong! Grudges, when held correctly, are an essential part of a healthy psychological diet. …”

Empty-bucket techniques for spill-quality improvement at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron by Arrutia Sota, PA, Fraser, MA, Hagmann, G, Kain, V, Papotti, G, Spierer, A, Velotti, FM, Burrows, PN, Piandani, R

“…Synchrotrons can provide long spills of particles by employing resonant extraction where the circulating beam is slowly ejected over thousands to millions of turns by exploiting the amplitude growth caused by a transverse resonance. …”

Multipass steering protocols at Jefferson lab by Bodenstein, RM, Tiefenback, MG

“…The CEBAF recirculating accelerator consists of two CW superconducting RF linacs, through which an electron beam is accelerated for up to 5 passes. Focusing and steering elements affect each pass differently, requiring a multipass steering protocol to correct the orbits. …”
