Jason J. Luke, MD, FACP and Jennifer Wargo, MD, MMSc - Progress and Promise With Immunotherapy in Resectable Melanoma: Exploring New Evidence and Practical Issues With Checkpoint Inhibitors as Adjuvant Therapy
Go online to PeerView.com/EWW860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. Melanoma was the first clinical setting in which the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors was validated, leading to their rapid integration into the management of advanced disease. More recently, checkpoint inhibitors, based on phase 3 evidence, have claimed a role in the adjuvant setting. The future of adjuvant therapy for high-risk resectable melanoma is bright, but achieving optimal care will depend on close collaboration between oncologists and surgeons, as well as the identification of pa...

"Leg Up" -- The Discovery Files
A new prosthetic ankle, developed by Vanderbilt University scientists, aids its users by adjusting to terrain that would typically present a challenge. It works by using a tiny motor, actuator, chip and sensors that work together to either conform to the surface the foot is contacting or remain stationary, depending on what the user needs.

The places where HIV shows no sign of ending, and the parts of the human brain that are bigger —in bigger brains
Nigeria, Russia, and Florida seem like an odd set, but they all have one thing in common: growing caseloads of HIV. Science Staff Writer Jon Cohen joins host Sarah Crespi to talk about this week ’s big read on how the fight against HIV/AIDS is evolving in these diverse locations. Sarah also talks with Armin Raznahan of the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Maryland, about his group’s work measuring which parts of the human brain are bigger in bigger brains. Adult human b rains can vary as much as two times in size—and until now this expansion was thought to be evenly distributed. However, the team fo...
