Introduction
Cancer has the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the
body which involves abnormal cell growth. Endometrium cancer
(EC) is the most common type of uterine cancer which starts in the
endometrium. EC cases are increasing worldwide and even higher in
developing countries [1]. However, physicians have developed new
diagnostic techniques and treatments, which results in decreased
reported cases of cancer in developing countries [2]. Endometrioid
adenocarcinoma is the most common type of EC with clear cell
histologic appearance made up of cells in glands that look much like
the normal uterine lining (endometrium) [3]. e survival rate in an
early and advanced stage of diagnosed EC is less than ve years [4],
and chances of about 50% recurrence aer postoperative therapy is
still high [5]. Most common cancer in male, especially in the western
world causing death is prostate cancer (PC). In the United States,
approximately 238,590 new cases of PC with a death of about 29,720
cases [6]. Progression of PC is through a multi-step development such
as involvement of growth factor, cytokines, and hormones [7].
Role of immune cells estimation in microenvironment of tumor
has been well established. On the primary hormonal basis, these
immune cells in tumor respond to produce a wide range of cytokines,
chemokines, and growth factors. Interleukins (IL-1, IL-6, and IL-
8), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), vascular endothelial growth
factor (VEGF), granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor
(GM-CSF), and colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) are the common
inammatory markers used in diagnosis [8]. IL-6 and TNF-α, are
considered as the major cancer biomarkers of a network involved in
EC and PC development with multiple biological characteristics [9,10].
TNF-α, is a multifunctional cytokine which plays a major role in cell
death and survival, as well as in inammation and immunity. TNF
increases susceptibility to heat-induced cell death (apoptosis) in a time-
dependent manner, an important protective cellular activity. IL-6 is a
pleiotropic cytokine, which exerts inammatory and immune response
on various cell types including prostate carcinomas. Serum IL-6 is the
surrogate marker in the clinical stage of PC. High concentrations of
serum IL-6 are associated with an increased risk of death in patients with
cancer. Expression of IL-2R, PSA and FPSA are the robust biomarkers
in predicting a diagnosis assay for prostate cancer. Normally, IL-2R and
IL-6 concentrations were signicantly higher in prostate cancer tissue
than in normal tissue.
In the last 70 years, cancer treatment strategies have rapidly
increased. Chemotherapy always associated with attached side eects
such as hair loss, nausea, vomiting, cognitive dysfunction, change in
sexual function and adverse impact on patient’s quality of life [11].
Surgery is still the main treatment strategy for early-stage diagnosis of
cancer, but for advanced and reoccurrence cases multimodality therapies
like radiations and chemotherapy being frequently used [12,13].
Increased use of alternative integrative medicine approaches have been
recently introduced and used to promote wellness and minimize side
eects from cancer. In the year 2007, 40% U.S. population has used
natural products as a complementary and alternate medicine (CAM)
[14]. National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine

Abstract
Increasing cancer rates particularly in the developed world are associated with related lifestyle and
environmental exposures. Combined immunotherapy and targeted therapies are the main treatment approaches
in advanced and recurrent cancer. An alternate approach, energy medicine is increasingly used in life threatening
problems to promote human wellness. This study aimed to investigate the effect of bioeld treatment on cancer
biomarkers involved in human endometrium and prostate cancer cell lines. Each cancer cell lines were taken in
two sealed tubes i.e. one tube was considered as control and another tube was subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s bioeld
treatment, referred as treated. Control and treated samples were studied for the determination of cancer biomarkers
such as multifunctional cytokines viz. interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-2
receptor (IL-2R), prostate specic antigen (PSA), and free prostate specic antigen (FPSA) concentrations using
ELISA assay on day 10. Experimental results showed a signicant reduction of IL-6 level in endometrium (12%)
and prostate (98.8%) cancer cell lines while a signicant increase was observed in TNF-α level in endometrium
(385%) and prostate (89.8%) cancer cell lines as compared to control. No alteration of PSA level was observed
in bioeld treated endometrium and prostate cell line. Similarly, no alterations were evident in IL-2R and FPSA
levels in endometrium and prostate cell lines after bioeld treatment as compared to control. In conclusion, results
suggest that bioeld treatment has shown signicant alterations in the level of cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) in both
endometrium and prostate cancer cell lines.

control and treated sample to observe the impact of bioeld treatment
on concentration of biomarkers (IL-2R, IL-6, TNF-α, PSA, and FPSA)
[28]. ELISA principle started with capturing antibody, specic for a
protein of interest, coated onto the wells of microplates. Control and
bioeld treated cell lysate samples were diluted and pipetted into the 96
micro wells titer plate. Buer was added into each well and mixed gently
for 30 seconds. e plate was covered and incubated for 60 minutes
at room temperature as per manufacturer’s instruction. Removed the
incubation mixture from all wells followed by washing with distilled
water for ve times. During this incubation, protein of interest i.e.,
antigen (TNF-α, IL-6, PSA, FPSA, and IL-2R) attached to the antibody.
A secondary antibody was added to the wells aer washing with buer,
which bound to immobilized protein captured during rst incubation.
Excess antibody was removed by washing with the help of wash buer.
Aer that, enzyme conjugate was added into each well, mixed gently for
10 seconds followed by incubation for 60 minutes at room temperature.
A specic substrate solution was added into the well which was
converted by the enzyme to form a detectable color. e intensity of
the color produced was read spectrophotometrically which was directly
proportional to the concentration of protein of interest present in the
cell line samples. Control and treated sample values were recorded
in picogram per milliliter (IL-6 and TNF-α: pg/ml), nano gram per
milliliter (PSA and FPSA: ng/ml), and unit per milliliter (IL-2R-U/ml) [29].
Results and Discussion
Since prostate and endometrium cancers are most critical
medical problems aecting major population, physician suggests
chemoprevention strategies to reduce the incidence and mortality rate.
However, there are scientic evidence and large number of in vitro
studies already reported for bioeld treatment and its eect in cancer
cell lines [19,20]. e present study aimed to examine Mr. Trivedi’s
bioeld treatment on cancer biomarkers associated with endometrium
and prostate cancer. Previous studies indicated that there were an
inhibitory eect of bioeld energy on metastasis and immune responses
on cancer cell models [30-33].
Results of control and treatment group, at day 10 are summarized
in Table 1. In case of endometrium cell line, 12% reduction in IL-6
concentration was found in bioeld treated group as compared to
control. Aer bioeld treatment, decreased level of IL-6 (3.52 pg/
ml) was reported as compared to control (4.0 pg/ml). A highly
signicant increase in TNF-α (385%) level was estimated in bioeld
treated endometrium cell line (20.5 pg/ml) as compared to control
(4.23 pg/ml). A high increase in TNF-α level might be its association
and binding with several other cells such as endothelial cells, which
results in its high expression aer bioeld treatment as compared as
control [34]. However, level of PSA, FPSA, and IL-2R did not show
any alteration aer bioeld treatment as compared to control. In
endometrial adenocarcinoma, cytokines promote tumor development
by angiogenesis and mediating cell invasion. TNF-α, pro-inammatory
cytokine biomarker exists as both soluble and membrane-integrated
proteins activates signaling pathways, and is expressed on surface
epithelium in cancer and endometrial adenocarcinoma. It promotes
angiogenesis by the activation of NF-κB, a protein complex [35]. Apart
from TNF-α, IL-6 is another pro-inammatory cytokines whose level is
upregulated in endometrial adenocarcinoma, which is associated with
a poor prognosis [36]. Cancer research now proofed that dysregulation
in immune system contributes to metastasis and lead to cell death.
However, cancer progression is indicative by chronic inammation
which enhances angiogenesis and tissue metabolism results in cytokines
release. erefore, a signicant alteration of important inammatory
(NCCAM), now dened bioeld therapies in the subcategory of energy
therapies as one of the ve complementary medicine domains. Bioeld
is the name given to the electromagnetic eld that permeates and
surrounds living organisms. It is the scientically preferred term for
the biologically produced electromagnetic and subtle energy eld that
provides regulatory and communic ation funct ions within the organism.
Recent studies on cancer research suggest that instead of using other
complementary and alternate medicine, cancer patients received
highest benet with energy medicine [15]. e concept of human
bioenergy has its origin thousands of year back, till date many recent
bioeld therapies are in practice for their possible therapeutic potentials
such as enhanced personal well-being in cancer patient [16], improved
functional ability of arthritis patient [17], decreased pain and anxiety
[18]. However, many other signicant inhibitory eects on the cancer
cell model have been published which suggest that bioeld treatment
could be a new and eective treatment approach for cancer [19,20]. Mr.
Mahendra Trivedi’s unique bioeld treatment (e Trivedi’s eect®) has
signicantly studied in dierent elds. In agr iculture, change on growth,
characteristics, and yield of plants were reported aer bioeld treatment
[21,22]. It has also signicantly altered the crystalline and powder
characteristics of metals [23,24] and transformation of bioeld energy
has considerably altered the genotype and phenotypes of pathogenic
microbes against antimicrobials [25-27]. is experiment was designed
to evaluate the impact of bioeld treatment on cancer biomarkers in
endometrium and prostate cancer cell lines. Concentration of cytokines
(i.e. TNF-α and IL-6), interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R), prostate specic
antigen (PSA), and free prostate specic antigen (FPSA) were estimated
by using ELISA assay on day 10 aer bioeld treatment as compared to
control.
Materials and Methods
Experimental design
Endometrium and prostate cancer cell lines, as stock stored cultures
were procured for the experiment from department of laboratory
medicine, P.D. Hinduja National Hospital & Medical Research Centre,
Mumbai. Enzyme-Linked Immuno-Sorbant Assay (ELISA) method
was used for estimation of cytokines levels. Important cancer diagnostic
biomarkers such as IL-6, TNF-α, PSA (third generation), FPSA, and IL-
2R of control and treated samples were estimated using ELISA kit as per
manufacturer’s instruction.
Bioeld treatment modalities
Endometrium and prostate cancer cell lines were taken for bioeld
treatment. e rst sets of both cancer cell line were considered as
control. No treatment was given to this set. e second sets of both
cancer cell line were handed over to Mr. Trivedi for bioeld treatment
under laboratory condition. Mr. Trivedi provided the bioeld
treatment through his energy transmission process to second sets of
samples without touching the samples. Aer treatment, both treated
samples were handed over in the same condition within an hour’s
time and stored at standard conditions for cytokines analysis aer
10 days. Both the control and treated samples were analyzed aer 10
days for dierence in cancer biomarker as per the standard protocols.
An optimum precautionary measure were taken in estimation of IL-
6, TNF-α, PSA (third generation), FPSA, and IL-2R throughout the
experiment. e dierences in tested cancer biomarkers level before
and aer the treatment were noted.
Measurement of diagnostic cancer biomarkers

biomarkers (IL-6 and TNF-α) in endometrium cancer cell line suggests
that bioeld treatment may aect metastasis, which results in alteration
of pleiotropic and multifunctional cytokine levels. is nding is the
rst evidence that bioeld therapy may alter the immune function in
endometrium cancer.
Bioeld treatment on prostate cancer cell line showed a signicant
reduction of as high as 98.8% in IL-6 level. Aer treatment, IL-6
concentrations showed less than 2 pg/ml as compared to control (165
pg/ml) in prostate cancer cells. Besides this, TNF-α level showed
an increase of 89.8% in bioeld treated group (i.e.7.59 pg/ml) as
compared to control (less than 4.0 pg/ml). Slight increase in level of
PSA was observed in bioeld treated prostate cell line as compared to
control (Table 1). However, level of FPSA and IL-2R did not show any
alteration aer bioeld treatment as compared to control. It suggests
that the bioeld treatment has signicant impact only on cytokines
level and not on receptors or antigens involved in metastasis. Above
cytokines have the major involvement in prostate cancer development
and elevated levels have been reported in prostate hyperplasia patients
[37]. IL-6 and TNF-α levels have strong correlation in serum with
hormone refractory prostate cancer as compared to normal cell [38].
Present study reported a signicant reduction in IL-6 concentration
and an increase in TNF-α level in prostate and endometrium cancer
cell lines aer bioeld treatment (Figure 1). e result of the present
study supports the already published literature with signicant bioeld
eect on cancer cell lines. is study results are in agreement with the
reported data [31-33] and verify the inuence of bioeld treatment
on in vitro growth of prostate and endometrium cancer cell line with
respect to cancer biomarkers level in control and treated samples.
Current cancer therapies have certain limitations, which include
serious side eects such as enormous toxicity, altered immune system,
and high treatment cost etc. Many ancient bioeld therapies for cancer

are practiced around the world, among then Qigong therapy for cancer
is very popular and scientically studied [39,40]. erefore, Mr. Trivedi’s
bioeld treatment could be an eective and alternate approach for
cancer with no side eects. Research on bioeld therapies and its impact
on cancer growth have been continuously studied by researchers, which
might works as alternate and complementary medicine to prolong the
life of cancerous patients along with quality life.
Conclusion
Study results conclude that bioeld treatment has signicantly
altered the level of cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) in endometrium and
prostate cancer cell lines as compared to control. Mr. Trivedi’s bioeld
treatment showed a signicant reduction in IL-6 level in prostate
cancer cells (98.8%) and endometrium cancer cell (12%) as compared
to control. ere was also a signicant increase of TNF-α concentration
in both endometrium and prostate cancer cell lines. ese data suggest
that bioeld treatment has signicant impact in altering the cancer
biomarkers especially two cytokine levels in both cancer cell lines.

Vitamin D3 reported having many important roles in bone metabolism, osteoporosis, immunity, and useful in numerous diseases, i.e., cardiovascular, cancers, and neurodegenerative diseases. Unexpectedly, there is little information available about the concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 in the blood, which is the best indicator of vitamin D3 status after its oral absorption. However, the biological activity of vitamin D3 is mediated via the formation of the active metabolite, 1-α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 . There are several factors that affect its absorption and first-pass metabolism that lead to having very low plasma concentrations of both the metabolites (25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 1-α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 ) following an oral administration. Thus, the current study was executed to determine the influence of the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Treatment on vitamin D3 and rats through the measurement of plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 concentrations after the oral administration of vitamin D3 in male Sprague-Dawley rats. The test item, vitamin D3 was divided into two parts. One part was denoted as the control (without Biofield Energy Treatment/Blessing), while the other part was defined as the Biofield Energy Treated sample, which received the Biofield Energy Treatment by renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Dahryn Trivedi. Additionally, one group of animals also received Consciousness Energy Treatment per se by the Healer under similar conditions. The Biofield Energy Healer who was located in the USA, while the test samples and animals were located in the research laboratory in India. Vitamin D3 oral formulations were administrated by oral gavage at a dose of 500 µg per kg in groups viz. G1 (untreated vitamin D3 ), G2 (Biofield Treated vitamin D3 ), and G3 (Biofield Treated animals received untreated vitamin D3 ) group. The Biofield Energy Treatment increased the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 by 3.45% and 72.77% in the G2 and G3 groups, respectively as compared with the G1 group. The area under the plasma concentration– time curve (AUC0–t) of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 was altered by -11.19% in the G2 group and 59.45% in the G3 group as compared to the G1 group. After oral administration, the Tmax of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 was altered by -62.97% in G2 and 55.56% in G3 groups compared to G1. The mean residence time (MRT) of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 was also altered in the G2 group by -12.34% and G3 group by 0.18%, as compared to the G1. The relative oral bioavailability (Fr) of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 was significantly altered by -11.19% in the G2 group and 59.45% in the G3 group compared to the G1. Biofield Energy Treatment could be an innovative strategy that opens new avenues to overcome poorly absorbed pharmaceuticals/ nutraceuticals/herbal extracts and can also improve the therapeutic performance of orally active molecules.

The present study was performed to determine the effects of The Trivedi Effect ® -Energy of Consciousness Healing Treatment on vitamin D 3 and rats through the pharmacokinetic parameters measurement of both plasma level of vitamin D 3 and 25-hydroxy (OH)-vitamin D 3 after the oral administration of vitamin D 3 in rats. The test item, vitamin D 3 was divided into two parts. One part was denoted as the control (without Biofield Energy Healing Treatment), while the other part was defined as the Biofield Energy Treated sample, which received the Biofield Energy Healing Treatment by renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Mahendra Kumar Trivedi. Additionally, one group of animals also received Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment per se by the Healer under similar conditions. Vitamin D 3 oral formulations were administrated by oral gavage at a dose of 500 μg per kg in groups viz. G1 (untreated Vitamin D 3 ), G2 (Biofield Energy Treated Vitamin D 3 ) and G3 (Biofield Energy Treated animals received untreated Vitamin D 3 ) group. The results showed that the relative oral exposure (AUC 0 –t) of vitamin D 3 was significantly increased by 155.62% and 111.73% in G2 and G3 groups, respectively as compared to the control group. Biofield Energy Treatment also significantly improved the plasma peak concentration (C max ) of vitamin D 3 by 223.84% and 187.5% in G2 and G3 groups, respectively as compared to the control group. This study results also showed that the relative oral exposure (AUC 0 –t) of 25-hydroxy (OH)-vitamin D 3 (metabolite) was significantly increased by 161.28% and 113.96% in G2 and G3 groups, respectively as compared to the control group (G1). Biofield Energy Treatment also significantly improved the plasma peak concentration (C max ) of 25-hydroxy (OH)-vitamin D 3 by 174.25% and 111.77% in G2 and G3 groups, respectively as compared to the control group. After oral administration, plasma concentrations of active metabolite, 25-hydroxy (OH)-vitamin D 3 in all three groups were declined slowly. The mean residence time (MRT last ) and elimination rate constant (K el ) for this metabolite were unaltered in all three groups. These data suggest that Biofield Energy Treated vitamin D 3 might be influenced in vivo biological activity of vitamin D 3 due to increased plasma exposure (AUC) of both vitamin D 3 and metabolite level, 25-hydroxy (OH)-vitamin D 3 in rats. There was significant improvement (>100%) of relative oral bioavailability of both vitamin D 3 and 25-hydroxy (OH)-vitamin D 3 that might be due to the alteration of physicochemical properties and thermal properties of vitamin D 3 by the Biofield Energy Treatment. Biofield Energy Healing Treatment could be an innovative strategy that opens new avenues to overcome poorly absorbed pharmaceuticals/nutraceuticals/herbal extracts and can also improve the therapeutic performance of orally active molecules.

Ofloxacin is an antibiotic, useful against the number of bacterial infections. This scientific investigation was performed to identify the impact of the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the structural properties and the isotopic abundance ratio of ofloxacin using sophisticated analytical techniques. Ofloxacin sample was divided into control and treated parts. Only the treated ofloxacin received the Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment remotely by a well-known Biofield Energy Healer, Mr. Mahendra Kumar Trivedi. The LC-MS spectra of both the samples of ofloxacin at retention time 3 minutes exhibited the mass of the protonated molecular ion peak at m/z 362.17 (M+H)+. The chromatographic peak area% of the treated ofloxacin (52.4%) was increased by 2.03% compared to the control sample (51.36%). The LC-MS based isotopic abundance ratio of PM+1/PM in the Biofield Treated ofloxacin was significantly increased by 22.43% compared with the control sample. Similarly, the GC-MS based isotopic abundance ratio of PM+1/PM in the Biofield Treated ofloxacin was significantly increased by 19.24% compared with the control sample. The LC-MS and GC-MS based isotopic abundance ratio of PM+1/PM (2H/1H or 15N/14N or 13C/12C or 17O/16O) was significantly increased in the Biofield Treated ofloxacin as compared to the control sample. Thus,2H, 15N, 13C, and17O contributions from (C18H21FN3O4)+ to m/z 363.17 in the treated ofloxacin were significantly increased compared with the control sample. The increased isotopic abundance ratio of the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treated ofloxacin may increase the intra-atomic bond strength and increase its physical stability. The new form of treated ofloxacin would be more stable, better soluble, and bioavailable compared to the control sample. It would be more useful to design efficacious pharmaceutical formulations that might offer better therapeutic response against infections in the urethra, urinary tract, gonorrhoea, pneumonia, infectious diarrhoea, bronchitis, cellulitis, bacterial infection of the eye and ear, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, prostatitis, otitis media, plague, etc.

This study tested the Null Hypothesis for the effect of BioField Energy applied to two separate crops under typical growing conditions, namely ginseng and organic blueberry in commercial plantings in Wisconsin and California, respectively. Following treatment to replicated plots in standard experimental design, data were collected at harvest for yield quantity and quality. Ginseng plants treated both pre-harvest and a combination of pre- and post-harvest showed market grade increases of 33.3% and 40.0%, respectively. Point of sale gross return for this crop is dependent upon tuber quality, and from these data the economics of these treatments were calculated. Based on stand adjusted yields and quality values, a combination of pre- and post-harvest treatment increased gross income by 57.4%. The second crop showed similar trends in positive responses. In the two blueberry varieties studied, Emerald treated plants showed 96% statistical increase in yield, while Jewel showed 31% increase. At the time of treatment, each variety was in a different stage of flowering. The Emerald variety was in the flowering stage, and Jewel was predominately in the fruiting stage. Both treated cultivars however demons-trated increased yield quantity and quality. The specific mechanisms that lead to these pre-liminary results need further investigation.

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death among women of all races. Pain is a common symptom associated with cancer; 75–90% of cancer patients experience pain during their illness and up to 50% of that pain is undertreated. Unrelieved pain leads to increased levels of the stress hormone cortisol. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of bioenergy on fecal cortisol levels for mice injected with murine mammary carcinoma 4T1in two separate pilot studies. Using a multiple experimental group design, six to eight week old female BALB/c mice were injected with tumor and randomly assigned, in groups of 10, to daily treatment, every other day treatment, and no treatment groups. Five days after tumor cell injection, bioenergy interventions were begun for a period of ten consecutive days. Fecal samples were collected for each study and ELISA analysis was conducted at the end of both studies. For both studies, cortisol levels were decreased in the every other day treatment groups but remained high in the no treatment groups. Future studies utilizing bioenergy therapies on cortisol levels in a murine breast cancer model can begin to describe pain outcomes and therapeutic dose.

To date there has been no consensus on the exact oncological importance of systematic lymphadenectomy in early stage endometrial cancer. In this scenario, the balance between potential therapeutic benefit and procedure-related morbidity plays a central role in the indication for the procedure since the likelihood of detecting a metastatic node is relatively low. Compared with laparotomy, laparoscopic lymphadenectomy has several clearly demonstrated advantages and is an important tool to reduce morbidity. Additionally, many authors have developed less invasive methods to selectively identify patients who are at increased risk of lymph node involvement. This paper aims to review the current literature evidence and guidelines regarding the role of lymphadenectomy in patients with early stage endometrial cancer. Alternatives such as lymphatic sampling or sentinel lymph node biopsy are possible solutions but must be further investigated through more comprehensive studies.

Recent studies report the effect of biofield treatment on changes in structural characteristics of organic and inorganic matter, on cancer cells in vitro and on overall plant development. This study tested the impact of the same treatment applied to lettuce and tomato seeds and transplants (Lactuca sativa var. capitata and Lycopersiconesculentum var. Roma) in commercial plantings with and without fertilizers and pesticides, in relation to yield, quality, and pest inhibition. Treated lettuce plants with fertilizer and pesticide applications were more vigorous, exhibited less incidence of soil-borne fungal wilt, and subsequent yield was statistically greater 43% compared to untreated plants. Treated plants with no fertilizer or pesticide applications in the field behaved similarly to untreated plants that received routine fertilizer and pest control inputs. Similarly, fertilizer applied and fertilizer non-applied treated tomato plants exhibited a 25% and 31% increase in total observable yields respectively. Treated tomato and lettuce plants also measured higher in total leaf tissue chlorophyll content. The combination of biofield treatment along with administration of chemical additives demonstrated the best results with statistically increased yields and higher pest resistance in both test cropping systems. The specific mechanisms that lead to these preliminary results have yet to be determined.
