A first Alps - dedicated gravity data set - introduction and status of the AlpArray gravity field activities

In this contribution, activities of the AlpArray Gravity Research Group (AAGRG) are introduced. Since 2018, this group in the frame of the AlpArray project (http://www.alparray.ethz.ch/en/home/) prepares gravity and other data sets to support multidisciplinary goals of the project. It is focused on the mantle, plate and surface processes in the Alps-Apennines-Carpathians-Dinarides orogenic system. In 2018, the AAGRG set up its own methodology guidelines and assembled available land-gravity data and digital elevation model (DEM) data from all the participating countries. Our presentation targets especially three goals: 1) to introduce AAGRG activities as an integral part of the AlpArray project for studying Alpine orogeny \u2013 a goal that by definition requires international cooperation, 2) to review the input data and the works accomplished so far, and, 3) to discuss the steps to be taken to produce detailed gravity maps of the region \u2013 the first Alps-dedicated gravity field data set. We plan to prepare gravity grids in a homogeneous processing approach of either 2x2 km or 4x4 km resolution, depending on the coverage and data quality. The final data sets will be made public in late 2019. A special emphasis is put on the calculation of the Bouguer anomaly using ellipsoidal rather tha normal heights. For calculating topographic effects the preference is given to local DEMs, where available, as they often provide higher quality and spatial resolutions. The public gravity data sets are evaluated with the high-resolution geopotential models like EIGEN-6C4 or EGM2008 \u2013 a useful means for identifying biases in the data coming from various countries and campaigns

Systemic neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in colorectal cancer: the relationship to patient survival, tumour biology and local lymphocytic response to tumour

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. The impact of inflammatory biomarkers (C-reactive protein etc.) on CRC is increasingly studied including systemic neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as they seem to predict outcome. Methods: All patients who underwent curative resection for CRC from 2000 to 2004 at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust had pre-operative NLR calculated. Demographic, histopathological and survival data were collected. Tissue microarrays were created and stained to determine the mismatch repair (MMR) protein status of each tumour. Local lymphocytic response to the tumour was assessed and graded. Results: About 358 patients were eligible. Of these 88 had an NLR greater than or equal to5, which predicted lower overall survival and greater disease recurrence. A high NLR is associated with higher pT- and pN-stage and a greater incidence of extramural venous invasion. MMR protein status was not associated with NLR. A pronounced lymphocytic reaction at the invasive margin (IM) indicated a better prognosis and was associated with a lower NLR. Conclusion: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio predicts disease-free and overall survival and is associated with a more aggressive tumour phenotype. The lymphocytic response to tumour at the IM is associated with NLR however dMMR is not. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is a cheap, easy-to-access test that predicts outcome in CRC
