For patients with stage III or IV Hodgkin lymphoma, brentuximab vedotin is associated with a survival advantage, according to a study published online July 13 in the New England Journal of Medicine. Stephen M. Ansell, M.D., Ph.D., from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and colleagues randomly assigned patients with previously untreated stage III or IV classic Hodgkin lymphoma to receive up to six cycles of brentuximab vedotin, a CD30-directed antibody-drug conjugate, plus doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (A+AVD) or doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) in a 1:1 ratio (664 and 670 patients, respectively).

Japan will have as many as nine nuclear reactors in operation this winter, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Thursday, seeking to ensure stable power supplies during peak demand. With five reactors currently running, the additions would boost combined capacity from nuclear power to around 10% of the country's electricity needs amid concerns of a power crunch this winter. "We want to have ample capacity to ensure a stable supply of electricity during peak times," Kishida said. "The national government will take the lead" on restarting these reactors, "making tenacious efforts to secure the understanding and cooperation of local governments and...

In September 2021, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was caught stealthily changing the definition of the word “vaccine,” as well as what it means to be “fully vaccinated,” because the experimental mRNA jab was not meeting the well-established criteria under the old definition – and people were taking notice. Unfortunately for the so-called ‘experts,’ independent journalist Alex Berenson ensured the change did not fly under the radar, as reported by TGP’s Larry Johnson. For sounding the alarm on the CDC’s change, Berenson was suspended permanently from Twitter – but, following a court settlement earlier this month,...

A four-year-old girl with Down's Syndrome has become the latest innocent victim of Putin's war in Ukraine after she was killed in her pram by a Russian cruise missile which also left her mother fighting for life. Liza Dmitrieva was accompanying mother Irina on a day out in the city of Vinnystya - in western Ukraine, hundreds of miles from the nearest frontline - when a Russian Kalibre missile launched from a submarine in the Black Sea crashed down on top of them around 10.50am local time. The pink pram that Liza had been filmed pushing an hour earlier was...

A Toronto-area casket manufacturer has seen a dramatic rise in orders for smaller-sized coffins since the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines. Children are dying. Ultimately, everything in life comes down to death. We are raised to believe that there’s a time for living and a time for dying. The time for dying comes with illness, accidents, and old age. Except it doesn’t anymore. In an exclusive interview with RAIR Foundation USA, Mick Haddock, a manufacturer of caskets in northern Toronto, says things have changed markedly in the industry in the last nine months. “Small people are passing away,” he says. “It’s...

I did some searches on Free Republic and didn't come up with any results, so I'm asking Freepers. So, I'm hearing a radio broadcast that I assume is MSNBC, and there are a couple of subjects that came up which I would like some information on and I trust you guys to supply it. 1.) Mitch McConnell was apparently subpoenaed by the show trial regarding apparent calls made to Georgia regarding the vote count. If there's a centrist or right-leaning source covering this, because all I'm hearing is the leftist bent, I'd appreciate a link. 2.) Second, a bill that...

An "abortion storyteller" claimed that her abortion "was an act of self-love" in a shocking testimony during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on "abortion access." Pro-abortion activists explained why they got abortions, and their reasoning was as disturbing as one can imagine. Sarah Lopez of Jane's Due Process, an "abortion storyteller," stood before the committee and said that getting an abortion was one of the best decisions she has ever made. With no sympathy for the unborn baby, she said that having the procedure was an "act of self-love." Critics were quick to call out the pro-abortionist, calling her a...

Embattled Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón is to disband a group of victims’ advocates within his office known as the “Lifer” unit that notifies victims when the people convicted of harming them are about to begin parole hearings. The Parole Unit, also known as the “Lifer Unit,” will be disbanded by the end of the year. The move comes after Gascon has banned prosecutors from attending parole hearings. Gascon’s office confirmed the move to Fox News, saying that notifying the victims can be “triggering” to them, that it bogs down resources, and that ultimately, it is the responsibility...

Pizza is one of the most universally beloved foods. It’s a go-to for gatherings because, unlike other foods, it has been known for decades, centuries even, to be a people pleaser. “Who hates pizza?” is a question usually answered with a resounding “no one.” But now that question has a surprising new answer in Academy Award winner Daniel Kaluuya. Kaluuya did not necessarily say that he hates pizza, but one might assume that his reaction to being offered pizza would be a cruel but polite, “nope”. The actor, who is the star of writer/director Jordan Peele’s highly anticipated horror-comedy hybrid...

A Washington, DC, police officer has corroborated to the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021, details regarding a heated exchange former President Donald Trump had with his Secret Service detail when he was told he could not go to the US Capitol after his rally, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN. The officer with the Metropolitan Police Department was in the motorcade with the Secret Service for Trump on January 6 and recounted what was seen to committee investigators, according to the source.

During a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid on Thursday morning in Jerusalem, President Biden said he was “given a list” of reporters to take questions from. The president made the gaffe after taking one question from an Israeli reporter. Afterwards, he was prompted to call on more reporters, when he said, “Um, sure. Uh, I was given a list here,” before reading off the name of Reuters reporter Steve Holland. As the conference went on, Biden repeatedly looked down at his list to call on reporters. “The next person to ask us a question, I guess,...

The International Committee of the Red Cross warns hundreds of millions of people in sub-Saharan Africa are going hungry due to conflict, climate shocks, and rising food prices triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The ICRC warns Africa’s food crisis is set to worsen. It says conflict and armed violence, failing harvests due to years of drought, and increases in food and other commodity prices are driving more people into extreme poverty and hunger. A recent U.N. assessment estimates 346 million people on the continent face severe food insecurity, meaning one-quarter of the population does not have enough to eat....

Archbishop Naumann says he is ‘sad’ over Pope’s handling of Biden, Pelosi on abortionWashington, D.C. Newsroom, Jul 14, 2022 / 10:26 am (CNA).Archbishop Joseph Naumann of Kansas City in Kansas says he is “sad” over the way Pope Francis has handled the controversy surrounding the pro-abortion actions of President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whose positions on the issue are at sharp odds with the teaching of their Catholic faith on the sanctity of human life.Naumann’s comment was one of several pointed statements he made on the controversy in an interview with the German newspaper Die Tagespost published...

In June, the consumer price index (CPI) stood 9.1 percent higher than a year ago. That is worse than things were earlier this year, worse than in 2021, and worse than any time for some 40 years. The picture today makes a dark joke of the White House’s earlier claim that price pressures would be “transitory”—and still more embarrassing President Biden’s insistence that inflation was the fault of supply-chain interruptions or Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine or the greed of mom-and-pop gas station owners. Instead, the unfolding inflation picture makes it painfully clear that the price pressures have a fundamental...

Kazakhstan’s president on Thursday blasted his government for its handling of a sugar crisis as shortages and price spikes contributed to chaotic scenes in supermarkets. Rising living costs since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic have helped fuel unrest in Central Asia, including in the region’s richest country, Kazakhstan, where bloody turmoil in January left 238 people dead. Demonstrators attend a rally in memory of victims of the recent country-wide unrest in Almaty on February 13, 2022. Hundreds gathered in Kazakhstan’s largest city Almaty on February 13, 2022 to commemorate victims of the deadly unrest last month, defying an official...

Mexico City Newsroom, Jul 8, 2022 / 15:36 pm A report by the Mexican Catholic Multimedia Center (CCM) shows that from 1990 to 2022, the violence in Mexico has claimed the lives of one cardinal and 57 priests. The document also notes that in the first three and a half years of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s six-year term, seven priests have been murdered in the country. In perhaps the most shocking case, the archbishop of Guadalajara, Cardinal Juan Jesús Posadas Ocampo, was gunned down at the city airport on May 24, 1993. “The official thesis at that time was...
