Assessing the statistical significance of structural factors on community resilience during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemicNARA Subscribed
Empirical evidence on which structural factors reliably shape community resilience during pandemics remains fragmented: existing studies often focus on single dimensions, small indicator sets, or do not test the robustness of identified drivers. Using 401 German administrative districts and a large pool of 266 district-level indicators, we identify structural factors associated with regional COVID-19 impacts across four resili...
Diagnosis of brain metastases (BM) has traditionally marked a turning point in treatment goals and prognosis of patients with breast cancer (BC). However, new systemic treatment options have both prevented the development and improved the prognosis of BC patients with BM. Stereotactic radiotherapy techniques (SRT) have widely replaced whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) in patients with limited BM, yielding impressive survival at...
The abscopal effect in metastatic lung cancer: a retrospective analysis of combined radiotherapy and immunotherapyNARA Subscribed
Background The abscopal effect (AbE) refers to the regression of non-irradiated tumors following localized radiotherapy (RT), suggesting a systemic immune-mediated response. The combination of RT with immunotherapy (IO) has been proposed to enhance the AbE by overcoming RT-induced immunosuppressive mechanisms, but robust evidence, specifically in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), is lacking. This study aimed to determine the...
Combining Observations and Models: A Review of the CARDAMOM Framework for Data‐Constrained Terrestrial Ecosystem ModelingNARA Subscribed
The rapid increase in the volume and variety of terrestrial biosphere observations (i.e., remote sensing data and in situ measurements) offers a unique opportunity to derive ecological insights, refine process‐based models, and improve forecasting for decision support. However, despite their potential, ecological observations have primarily been used to benchmark process‐based models, as many past and current models lack the c...
