Including case studies from different countries from the Global North and the Global South, it contr...

Second-line 5-FU plus nanoliposomal irinotecan versus FOLFOX/XELOX in metastatic pancreatic cancer after gemcitabine-nab-paclitaxel failure: a propensity score-matched analysis

Background: There is limited evidence comparing second-line therapies following gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GemNab) in metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of 5-fluorouracil plus nanoliposomal irinotecan (5-FU + Nal-IRI) versus oxaliplatin-based regimens (FOLFOX/XELOX) in this setting. Patients and methods: We retrospectively analyzed 445 patients with metastatic PDAC progressing after first-line GemNab, treated acro...

Improving regional simulations of processing tomato using remote sensing

Accurate crop growth monitoring is essential for effective regional agricultural management. This study investigates how the use of growing-period data and crop-specific field masks derived from remote sensing improves the accuracy of processing-tomato growth simulations. This study extracted transplanting and harvesting dates from Sentinel-2 enhanced vegetation index (EVI) time series data, demonstrating high consistency with field observations (R2 = 0.90; RMSE = 30.36 and 6.39 days, respect...

The Impact of Reselling Platforms on Fashion Consumer Behavior: A Cross-Country Comparative Study

Fashion industry is at the intersection of commerce, culture, and creativity, and in recent decades, it has come under growing criticism of its social, environmental, and economic footprint.
