The management of esophageal cancer has been evolving over the past 30 years. In the United States, multimodality treatment combining chemotherapy and radiotherapy (RT) prior to surgical resection has come to be accepted by many as the standard of care, although debate about its overall effect on survival still exists, and rightfully so. Despite recent improvements in detection and treatment, the overall survival of patients with esophageal cancer remains lower than most solid tumors, which highlights why further advances are so desperately needed. The aim of this article is to provide a complete review of the history of esophageal cancer treatment with the addition of chemotherapy, RT, and more recently, targeted agents to the surgical management of resectable disease.

A common feature among neurodegenerative conditions is that ce rtain neuronal populations are selectively vulnerable to loss(Fu et al.,2018).By corollary,other neurons are selectively resilient,suggesting they may possess unique features that support their survival.U nderstanding the basis of neuronal resilience or vulnerability would provide a logical strategy to identify factors that could be targeted therapeutically.

massif anorthosites form when basaltic magma differentiates in crustal magma chambers to form lowdensity plagioclase and a residual liquid whose density was greater than that of enclosing crustal rocks. The plagioclase and minor pyroxene crystallized in-situ on the floor of the magma chamber to produce the anorthosite complex,and the residual liquid migrated downwards,eventually to solidify as dense Fe-rich cumulates some of which were removed to the *** movements were facilitated by high temperatures in Proterozoic continental crust,thus explaining the restriction of large anorthosite massifs to this period in Earth history.

REBCO tapes carry DC current under AC magnetic fields in proposed HTS fusion applications. AC loss will be generated in the process and it is important to understand the AC loss behaviour for safe operation of the fusion magnets. In this work, magnetisation loss (Qm), dynamic resistance (Rdyn), and total loss (Qtotal) in four different REBCO tapes are numerically studied, using the measured and , for the magnetic field amplitude applied perpendicularly up to 8 T at 20 K and 50 K, where represents the magnetic field and field angle () dependent critical current density. The peak of Theva data is different from that of other tapes. We artificially shifted the ab-plane peak of Theva to the left by 25° to match the peak value. The newly shifted data is named as Theva-shift, which was also investigated to study the influence of the Theva peak shift on AC loss. The normalised DC transport current level (i = It/Ic0) ranges from 0.05 to 0.9, where the DC current amplitude and the self-critical current of the tape are represented by It and Ic0, respectively. The simulation results show that the AC losses deviate significantly from the Brandt-Indenbom (BI) equation at high magnetic fields. Jc and instantaneous loss curves for different tapes show correlation at high magnetic fields. The simulation results also show how different characteristics for different tapes influence AC losses. When AC loss values are scaled by the self-field critical current, Qm without current and Qtotal with current in the different tapes show a good agreement. It implies that the temperature dependence of the two types of loss can be calculated from a known loss at one temperature and the self-field critical current.

Therapeutic proteins and peptides have revolutionized treatment for a number of diseases, and the expected increase in macromolecule-based therapies brings a new set of challenges for the pharmaceutics field. Due to their poor stability, large molecular weight, and poor transport properties,therapeutic proteins and peptides are predominantly limited to parenteral administration. The short serum half-lives typically require frequent injections to maintain an effective dose, and patient compliance is a growing issue as therapeutic protein treatments become more widely available. A number of studies have underscored the relationship of subcutaneous injections with patient non-adherence, estimating that over half of insulin-dependent adults intentionally skip injections. The development of oral formulations has the potential to address some issues associated with non-adherence including the interference with daily activities, embarrassment, and injection pain. Oral delivery can also help to eliminate the adverse effects and scar tissue buildup associated with repeated injections. However, there are several major challenges associated with oral delivery of proteins and peptides, such as the instability in the gastrointestinal(GI)tract, low permeability, and a narrow absorption window in the intestine. This review provides a detailed overview of the oral delivery route and associated challenges. Recent advances in formulation and drugdelivery technologies to enhance bioavailability are discussed, including the co-administration of compounds to alter conditions in the GI tract, the modification of the macromolecule physicochemical properties, and the use of improved targeted and controlled release carriers.
