Interestingly, speciation is contingent on whether novel floral signal variants arise before or after plant populations become locally adapted to the growth environment. Our results suggest that simultaneous selection from growth and pollination environments might be important for the ecological speciation of animal-pollinated plants.
Recent evidence highlights the importance of optimal lung development during childhood for health throughout life.

To explore the plasticity of individual lung function states during childhood.

Pre-bronchodilator FEV1 z-scores determined at age 8, 16 and 24 years in the Swedish population-based birth cohort BAMSE (N=3,069) were used. An unbiased, data-driven dependent mixture model was applied to explore lung function states and individual state chains. Lung function catch-up was defined as participants moving from low/very low states to normal/high/very high states, and growth failure as moving from normal/high/very high states to low/very low states. At 24 years, we compared respiratory symptoms, small airway function (multiple-breath washout), and circulating inflammatory protein levels, by using proteomics, across states. Models were replicated in the independent Dutch population-based PIAMA cohort.

Five lung function states were identified in BAMSE. Lung function catch-up and growth failure were ailure. This article is open access and distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives License 4.0 (http//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/).
This study included two parts a descriptive study followed by an integrative review. The purpose of the study was to converge finding from the descriptive study and summarize relevant findings from existent literature to identify potential culturally responsive early language and literacy intervention strategies for Native American caregivers and their children.

This study included a nonexperimental descriptive design and integrative review. The descriptive study analyzed the language behaviors and shared book interactions of Native American caregivers with their young children (
21) and included results from a caregiver teaching questionnaire. The integrative review evaluated relevant literature and identified strategies that were described in these sources. These findings were combined with the descriptive study findings to identify promising culturally consistent language and literacy strategies.

Caregivers' shared book behaviors were associated with caregivers' vocabulary usage and children's shar
The purpose of this study was to describe potential early language and literacy strategies for Native American families. It would be impossible to develop early language interventions to meet the needs of all Native American families and children; thus, this study is a preliminary step in identifying strategies that may be culturally responsive for some families. The integrative review supported the use of shared book reading with young Native American children. Promising language and early literacy strategies included play-based strategies, teaching new words, questioning strategies, using descriptive language, and other language and interaction enhancements. The effectiveness of these strategies should be further evaluated in future research or treatment studies.
TAPUR is a phase II basket trial evaluating the antitumor activity of commercially available targeted agents in patients with advanced cancer and genomic alterations known to be drug targets. The results of a cohort of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) with
mutations treated with cobimetinib (C) plus vemurafenib (V) are reported.

Eligible patients had advanced CRC, no standard treatment options, measurable disease (RECIST), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0-2, adequate organ function, tumors with
V600E/D/K/R mutations, and no

mutations. C was taken 60 mg orally once daily for 21 days followed by seven days off, and V was taken 960 mg orally twice daily. Simon's two-stage design was used with a primary study end point of objective response or stable disease of at least 16 weeks duration. Secondary end points were progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety.

Thirty patients were enrolled from August 2016 to August 2018; all had CRC with a
V600E mutation except one patient with a
K601E mutation. Three patients were not evaluable for efficacy. Eight patients with partial responses and six patients with stable disease of at least 16 weeks duration were observed for disease control and objective response rates of 52% (95% CI, 35 to 65) and 30% (95% CI, 14 to 50), respectively. The null hypothesis of 15% disease control rate was rejected (
< .0001). Thirteen patients had at least one grade 3 adverse event or serious adverse event at least possibly related to C + V anemia, decreased lymphocytes, dyspnea, diarrhea, elevated liver enzymes, fatigue, hypercalcemia, hypophosphatemia, rash, photosensitivity, and upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

The combination of C + V has antitumor activity in heavily pretreated patients with CRC with
mutations.

To determine whether cannabidiol (CBD) oil can improve symptom distress in patients with advanced cancer receiving palliative care.

Participants were adults with advanced cancer and symptom distress (Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale [ESAS] total score of ≥ 10/90) who received titrated CBD oil 100 mg/mL, 0.5 mL once daily to 2 mL three times a day, or matched placebo for 28 days. The primary outcome was ESAS total symptom distress score (TSDS) at day 14. Response was defined as a decrease in TSDS by ≥ 6 at day 14. Secondary outcomes were ESAS TSDS over time, individual symptom scores, patient-determined effective dose, opioid use, Global Impression of Change, depression, anxiety, quality of life, and adverse events.

Of the 144 patients randomly assigned, the planned sample size of 58 participants on CBD and 63 on placebo reached the primary analysis point (day 14). The unadjusted change in TSDS from baseline to day 14 was -6.2 (standard deviation, 14.5) for placebo and -3.0 (standard deviation, 15.2) for CBD with no significant difference between arms (
= .24). Similarly, there was no detected difference in proportion of responders (placebo 37 of 63 [58.7%], CBD 26 of 58 [44.8%],
= .13). All components of ESAS improved (fell) over time with no difference between arms. The median dose of participant-selected CBD was 400 mg per day with no correlation with opioid dose. There was no detectable effect of CBD on quality of life, depression, or anxiety. Adverse events did not differ significantly between arms apart from dyspnea that was more common with CBD. Most participants reported feeling

This practical review focuses on clinical trials that influenced US Food and Drug Administration approvals and treatment guidelines in esophagogastric cancer, including the impact of location, stage, histology, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 status, and PD-(L)1 expression on these guidelines. The role of immunotherapy in the locally advanced and metastatic setting is constantly expanding. Over the next few years, the many ongoing trials exploring immunotherapy are anticipated to bring new treatment regimens into the frontline setting with the potential to improve survival in patients with advanced disease.
More oncologists desire to treat their patients with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in the inpatient setting as their use has become more widespread for numerous oncologic indications. This is cost-prohibitive to patients and institutions because of high drug cost and lack of reimbursement in the inpatient setting. We sought to examine current practice of inpatient ICI administration to determine if and in which clinical scenarios it may provide significant clinical benefit and therefore be warranted regardless of cost.

We conducted a retrospective chart review of adult patients who received at least one dose of an ICI for treatment of an active solid tumor malignancy during hospitalization at a single academic medical center between January 2017 and June 2018. Patient, disease, and admission characteristics including mortality data were examined, and cost analysis was performed.

Sixty-five doses of ICIs were administered to 58 patients during the study period. Nearly 40% and 80% of patients died wtration is associated with high costs and poor outcomes in acutely ill hospitalized patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies and therefore should largely be avoided. Careful discharge planning to expedite outpatient treatment after discharge will be paramount in ensuring patients with good prognostic features who will benefit most from ICI therapy can be promptly treated in the outpatient setting as treating very close to discharge in the inpatient setting appears to be unnecessary, regardless of tumor features.
