Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with a significant portion of these deaths attributed to the aggressive nature of the disease and its resistance to traditional treatments. The study's findings offer a promising new avenue for therapeutic intervention by targeting the interaction between neutrophils and lung cancer cells, potentially improving patient outcomes.
According to a review published in Harvard Review of Psychiatry, part of the Lippincott portfolio from Wolters Kluwer, certain combinations of medication or psychotherapy in conjunction with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) are supported by clinical studies for treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). The authors do caution that, overall, the research has important limitations.
Pickups can be seen as the “heart” of the electric guitar, turning vibrations from the strings into electricity for sound. The details of how the pickup coil is wound has a significant impact on the resulting sound of the instrument, and variables such as the type and thickness of the wire, the winding pattern, the shape and size of the pickup, and even the type of magnets used can all influence the guitar’s sound.
