We examined the association among elevations in acute phase proteins, reported illness, and hyporetinolemia in 234 pregnant Nepali women with (cases) and without (controls) night blindness. Serum alpha1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were inversely associated with serum retinol
BACKGROUND
Night blindness (XN) is the most common clinical symptom of vitamin A deficiency among children in developing countries. Yet little is known about the aetiology or associated risks of maternal XN. Emerging evidence from South East Asia suggests that it may be more frequent than previously

BACKGROUND
In this phase 2 study, we evaluated the activity of AUY922 in pretreated patients with stage IV NSCLC.
METHODS
Patients with advanced NSCLC were divided into molecularly defined strata based on mutations in the EGFR gene, the ALK receptor tyrosine kinase gene (ALK), the KRAS gene, or the
