title: 2-weekly versus 3-weekly docetaxel for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer: complete quality of life results from the randomised, phase-III PROSTY trial

description: Treatment with 2-weekly docetaxel 50 mg/m<sup>2</sup> was shown to improve overall survival and was better tolerated than the standard 75 mg/m<sup>2</sup> 3-weekly regimen in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in the original randomised PROSTY trial. The aim of this study was to investigate, whether quality of life (QoL) effects would differ between the 2-weekly docetaxel 50 mg/m<sup>2</sup> regimen from the standard 3-weekly 75 mg/m<sup>2</sup> treatment. QoL data were collected with the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Prostate (FACT-P) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Advanced Prostate Symptom Index − 8 Item version (FAPSI-8). Pain was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). A total of 743 forms from 163 patients were analysed in Arm A (2-weekly docetaxel), and 704 forms from 173 patients were analysed in Arm B (3-weekly docetaxel). The data were analysed using both the Wilcoxon signed rank test (with Holm–Bonferroni adjustment) and Mann–Whitney U models. No major differences were found in total QoL. Total QoL was higher at month 8 in Arm B (<i>p</i> = .020), but this was reversed in the following month (<i>p</i> = .043), and no statistically significant differences were found during other months. Compared to Arm A, participants in Arm B had longer-lasting deterioration in FAPSI-8 scores and emotional well-being subdomain at the beginning of treatment (<i>p</i> &lt; .05). Various one-month differences were found in FACT-P subdomains (except for functional well-being), and these favoured participants in Arm A, except for the prostate-cancer subdomain. There were no differences in pain. Based on our results, 2-weekly docetaxel was not inferior to 3-weekly docetaxel in terms of total health-related QoL and seemed to be superior at least in terms of the FAPSI-8 and emotional well-being subdomain in the first three to four months of treatment. More research on the topic is suggested to confirm the results.

title: Beta-blocker use and urothelial bladder cancer survival: a Swedish register-based cohort study

description: Recent observational studies linked β-adrenergic receptor blocker use with improved survival in patients with several cancer types, but there is no information on the potential effects of β-blockers in patients with bladder cancer. Literature from pre-clinical studies is also limited, but urothelial cancer can exhibit significant overexpression of β-adrenergic receptors relative to normal urothelial tissue, suggesting that urothelial cancer may benefit from β-blockade therapy. We thus aimed to explore the possible association between β-blocker use and bladder cancer-specific mortality (BCSM) among patients with urothelial bladder cancer. Patients diagnosed during 2006–2014 and identified from the Swedish Cancer Register (<i>n</i> = 16,669) were followed until 31 December 2015. Cox regression was used to evaluate the association of β-blockers dispensed within 90 days prior to cancer diagnosis with BCSM (primary outcome) and all-cause mortality, while controlling for socio-demographic factors, tumor characteristics, comorbidity, other medications and surgical procedures. Hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were reported. Overall, β-blocker use was associated with lower BCSM [HR 0.88 (95%CI 0.81–0.96)]. Especially use of nonselective β-blockers showed a clear inverse association in comparison with both nonuse [0.66 (0.50–0.86)] and use of other antihypertensive medications [0.72 (0.54–0.95)]. The inverse association was most pronounced among patients with locally advanced/metastatic disease: [0.35 (0.18–0.68)]. A lower-magnitude inverse association was observed for selective β-blocker use [0.91 (0.83–0.99)]. Largely similar inverse associations were observed for hydrophilic [0.82 (0.70–0.95)] and lipophilic [0.91 (0.83–1.00)] β-blocker use. β-blocker use, particularly of the nonselective type, was associated with lower BCSM, especially in patients with locally advanced/metastatic urothelial bladder cancer.

title: Seeing What Other People See

description: Summary of The Research Plan<br>Rationale: Perspective-taking is an important skill. It requires de-centering, taking the perspective of another. This requires both social sensitivity and, in some cases, spatial ability to "see what another sees." Objective: The aim of this study is to determine whether accessible a collectivistic cultural mindset momentarily improves perspective-taking ability compared to accessible individualistic mindset and whether cued mindset effects carry over from one perspective-taking task to the next and from spatial to social tasks. <br>Sample characteristics: German undergraduate volunteers. Most were education majors, others were psychology majors. Data are anonymous. Participants were randomized to individualistic and collectivistic mindset conditions. <br>Method: There are three studies, each with a between-subjects design. All studies were run on Qualtrics software online (not in a lab setting). Participants were recruited via listserve and in-class presentation and sent a url to the survey. The study began with an autobiographical recall task (Studies 1, 2) or a pronoun circling task (Study 3). Half of the participants engaged in a task that focused on the individual as separate (recall a time you worked alone, circling first-person singular pronouns). Half of the participants engaged in a task that focused on the individual as connected (recall a time you worked together with others, circling first-person plural pronouns). After completing the cultural mindset priming task, participants completed a version of the Piagetian 3-mountains task (3 lego buildings), the R-mental rotation task, and a series of self-reports on their spatial and social abilities efficacy and their self-reported empathy.<br>The final questions are gender, age, major, and native language for use in describing our sample.<br><br>

title: Analysed data for poster presentation "Dielectric barrier discharge plasma deoxidation of copper and iron surfaces"

description: Removal of oxygen contaminations from metal surfaces during industrial fabrication processes is an important cleaning step mitigating the negative impact of native oxide layers on the performance of compounds. Different plasma deoxidation techniques were developed to remove such oxide layers. Although a large number of studies were focused on of low-pressure plasma techniques, there is the lack of information on the deoxidation effect of plasmas that operate in the atmospheric pressure range.

title: New species <i>Chara oryzae</i> and a new section <i>Corillionia</i> of <i>Chara</i> (Charales, Charophyceae) from European Mediterranean rice fields

description: European paddy fields harbour a morphologically and genetically unusual charophyte that is distant from any other European species. The new species, <i>Chara oryzae</i> from Mediterranean rice fields, was described using an integrated approach, including scanning electron microscopy and molecular phylogenetics. The combination of monoecy, a triplostichous stem cortex with solitary spine cells, haplostephanous stipulodes, abbreviated branchlet segments with their mostly incomplete diplostichous cortication, and long undifferentiated part of a branchlet distinguish <i>C. oryzae</i> from other <i>Chara</i> species described to date. A unique set of phenotypic characteristics and lack of affinity to <i>Chara</i> sections and subsections prompted us to accommodate the species in a new section <i>Corillionia</i> of the subgenus <i>Chara. C. oryzae</i> could be recognized as a species non-native to Europe because it is known only in rice fields, which have been maintained for centuries in the region studied. HIGHLIGHTS • European paddy fields harbour a charophyte with unusual morphology and genotype distant from any European species.• A new species, <i>Chara oryzae</i>, is described using an integrated approach.• A new section, <i>Corillionia</i>, of the subgenus <i>Chara</i> is proposed.

title: Transfer of <i>Pilinia</i> from Ectocarpales to Ishigeales (Phaeophyceae) with proposal of Piliniaceae fam. nov., and taxonomy of <i>Porterinema</i> in Ectocarpales

description: Molecular phylogeny based on concatenated sequences of chloroplast <i>atp</i>B, <i>psa</i>A, <i>psb</i>A, <i>psb</i>C and <i>rbc</i>L genes indicates that the filamentous brown alga <i>Pilinia rimosa</i> is phylogenetically distant from the Ectocarpales, in which it has been classified (as <i>Waerniella lucifuga</i>). In the tree, <i>Pilinia</i> was sister to the clade comprised of <i>Ishige</i> and <i>Petroderma</i> (Ishigeales) supported by high statistical values. Observations of unialgal <i>P. rimosa</i> cultures originating from Helgoland (Germany), England (UK), Woods Hole (USA) and Newfoundland (Canada) showed a direct type of life history with reproduction by characteristic unilocular zoidangia typically forming only four zoids. Despite the description of plurilocular zoidangia in Kuckuck’s account as well as in later publications, we conclude that those observations were based on misinterpretation of the very small unilocular zoidangia formed in series, often with longitudinal walls between zoidangia. <i>Pilinia rimosa</i> grows in caves or crevices in rocks, and on walls or wood pilings in deep shade in the upper intertidal and spray zone, and is therefore regarded as a marine species, but it could also survive and mature in freshwater medium. We propose the establishment of a new family Piliniaceae for <i>Pilinia</i> and place it in Ishigeales. Molecular and morphological analysis of the culture strains, SAG 124.79 and SAG 2381, identified as the euryhaline alga <i>Porterinema fluviatile</i>, indicated that SAG 124.79 is in fact <i>P. rimosa</i>. However, SAG 2381 is true <i>P. fluviatile</i>, also displaying the characteristic plurilocular zoidangia. <i>Porterinema</i> was shown to be a member of the Chordariaceae, Ectocarpales <i>sensu lato</i>.

title: Seasonality of phytoplankton community and dynamics of autotrophic carbon in a cold temperate port (Argentina)

description: The changes within and between seasons in phytoplankton composition and abundance determine the carbon biomass available for upper levels of the food web. Temporal changes in phytoplankton community and environmental parameters in a port in Puerto Madryn, Southwest Atlantic were analysed. During an annual period (2011–2012), samples of surface seawater were collected approximately monthly. We determined phytoplankton community structure (species composition and abundance) and biomass (determined by carbon content and chlorophyll <i>a</i> (Chl <i>a</i>)). Water temperature, salinity and transparency were measured when sampling the surface water and local meteorological data were considered. The main groups observed were diatoms (Bacillariophyta; the most abundant during the concentration peaks of Chl <i>a</i>), dinoflagellates (Dinophyta) and flagellates, which mainly included species of Cryptophyta and Chlorophyta. Diatoms exhibited blooms in March (summer–autumn) and September (spring), represented by <i>Skeletonema costatum</i> and <i>Pseudo-nitzschia</i> spp. respectively. Dinoflagellates contributed to the highest carbon biomass, with peaks in January (summer) and April (autumn), exemplified by <i>Prorocentrum micans</i> and <i>Scrippsiella acuminata</i>, respectively. Temporal differences in community composition were related to the seasonal changes in temperature, solar irradiance, precipitation, salinity and wind velocity. The environmental conditions seem not only to determine the species composition but also cell size distribution: nanoplanktonic (≤ 20 µm) species dominated mainly during late spring, summer and early winter while microplanktonic species (&gt; 20 µm) during late winter and early spring. Our results showed within-season changes and show that not only Chl <i>a</i>, but also carbon content can be considered, as the former is a biased estimator of phytoplankton biomass. This study provides the first seasonally resolved estimation in the area of the carbon biomass available for upper levels of the food web and a necessary information for future scenarios prediction. HIGHLIGHTS• Two diatom blooms were followed by an increase in dinoflagellate abundance.• Annual environmental conditions drive the phytoplankton community structure.• First seasonally estimation of autotrophic biomass availability for Patagonian trophic web.
