The bile duct and liver cancer: ON-treatment surveillance of tumor evolution and response to systemic treatment (BILLIONSTARS) study by Philip Falk, Sofie Olsson Hau, Hedda Jacobsen, Jakob Eberhard, Caroline Williamsson, Karin Jirström

“…Tissue obtained in the clinical setting through surgery or biopsy along with tissue from research autopsies will be evaluated with targeted deep sequencing. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and other relevant biomarkers will be analyzed in blood samples obtained at different timepoints, depending on the type of treatment; before surgery or the start of systemic treatment, prior to each course of systemic treatment, if applicable, and at end of treatment. …”

Profile and development of adaptive behavior in adults with autism spectrum disorder and severe intellectual disability by Jean-Louis Adrien, Romuald Blanc, Eric Thiébaut

“…BackgroundThis study examined the profiles of adaptive behavior development in adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and severe intellectual disability (ID), and the relationships between the levels of the different domains and subdomains of adaptive development and the intensity of autistic symptomatology.ParticipantsThis study involved 71 adults (44 men and 27 women with average ages of 39 years 7 months and 36 years 2 months, respectively) living in medico-social institutions and having a level of adaptive development corresponding to age below 3 years 4 months and a level of cognitive development corresponding to ages between 12 and 24 months.MethodsASD was diagnosed using Pervasive Development Disorder-Mental Retardation Scale (PDD-MRS) and Childhood Autistic Rating Scale (CARS), ID and its severity were determined based on the Diagnostic Statistical Manual-5 (DSM-5) criteria, and the very low cognitive developmental level was assessed using the Socio-emotional Cognitive Evaluation Battery (Adrien, Pearson-ECPA, 2007), adapted for adults (SCEB-A). …”
