The effects of treatment duration on outcomes of radiation treatment with high-dose-rate brachytherapy in the era of concurrent chemoradiation for cervical carcinoma
This study analyzes the effects of treatment prolongation using a patient population that primarily received HDR-ICBT (high-dose-rate intracavitary brachytherapy) during CCRT (cisplatin-based chemotherapy with...

The lowest-metallicity type II supernova from the highest-mass red supergiant progenitor
Red supergiants have been confirmed as the progenitor stars of the majority of hydrogen-rich type II supernovae1. However, while such stars are observed with masses >25 M⊙ (ref. 2), detections of >18 M⊙ progenito...

Publisher Correction: Hydrogen-rich supernovae beyond the neutrino-driven core-collapse paradigm
In the version of this Article originally published the Fig. 6 y axis label read 'Mej' but should have read 'MNi'. This has now been corrected.

Open AccessSystemic therapies for recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a systematic review
The majority of published studies in recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (RM-NPC) are single-arm trials. Reliable modelling of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) outcomes, t...

A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source
Observations and modelling of an optical transient counterpart to a gravitational-wave event and γ-ray burst reveal that neutron-star mergers produce gravitational waves and radioactively powered kilonovae, an...

Hydrogen-rich supernovae beyond the neutrino-driven core-collapse paradigm
Type II supernovae are the final stage of massive stars (above 8 M ⊙) which retain part of their hydrogen-rich envelope at the moment of explosion. They typically eject up to 15 M

Correction: Corrigendum: The superluminous transient ASASSN-15lh as a tidal disruption event from a Kerr black hole
Nature Astronomy 1, 0002 (2016); published 12 December 2016; corrected 22 December 2016. In the version of this Letter originally published the estimated energy radiated by ASASSN-15lh up to 25 May 2016 was in...

The superluminous transient ASASSN-15lh as a tidal disruption event from a Kerr black hole
When a star passes within the tidal radius of a supermassive black hole, it will be torn apart1. For a star with the mass of the Sun (M⊙) and a non-spinning black hole with a mass <108M⊙, the tidal radius lies ou...

Correction: Corrigendum: Slowly fading super-luminous supernovae that are not pair-instability explosions
Nature 502, 346–349 (2013); doi:10.1038/nature12569 In this Letter, we have identified an important error affecting Fig. 4 and Extended Data Fig. 6, as well as the values of some parameters derived from our mo...

Slowly fading super-luminous supernovae that are not pair-instability explosions
Observations of two slow-to-fade super-luminous supernovae are reported; both show relatively fast rise times and blue colours, which are incompatible with pair-instability models.

Survival probability for brittle honeycombs with plateau borders under uniaxial compression
The crushing strengths of brittle honeycombs with nonuniform cell-edge cross-section depend on relative density, cell-edge modulus of rupture and the distribution of solid between three cell edges and a vertex...

The effect of surgical stress on insulin sensitivity, glucose effectiveness and acute insulin response to glucose load
Hyperglycemia after stress is a very common clinical phenomenon. It is generally hypothesized that the underlying cause is a neuroendocrine-mediated deterioration in glucose metabolism. However, the detailed r...
