Clinical trial results suggest that a specific step strategy, in which patients with diabetic macular edema start with a less expensive medicine and switch to a more expensive medicine if vision does not improve sufficiently, gives results similar to starting off with the higher-priced drug. The main complication of diabetic macular edema, fluid build-up in the retina that causes vision loss, is commonly treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs. Results of the trial, which examined a stepped regimen of anti-VEFG drugs Avastin (bevacizumab) and Eylea (aflibercept), were published today. "Our study showed that switching treatments when needed is...

Manchin told Schumer he will not support a bill this month with any provisions on energy or climate, or consider raising taxes on the wealthy or corporations, which...

At the NATO summit in Madrid, Finland was invited to join the alliance. What does this mean for Finland? If Russian President Vladimir Putin breaches the 830-mile Finnish border, the United States will rise to Helsinki's defense and fight Russia on Finland's side. What does Finland's membership in NATO mean for America? If Putin makes a military move into Finland, the U.S. will go to war against the world's largest nation with an arsenal of between 4,500 and 6,000 battlefield and strategic nuclear weapons. No Cold War president would have dreamed of making such a commitment -- to risk the...

They suggest that global alcohol consumption recommendations should be based on age and location, with the strictest guidelines for men aged 15-39, who are at the greatest risk of harmful alcohol consumption worldwide. “Our message is simple: young people should not drink, but older people may benefit from drinking small amounts,” said the senior author, Dr Emmanuela Gakidou, professor of health metrics sciences at the University of Washington’s School of Medicine. “While it may not be realistic to think young adults will abstain from drinking, we do think it’s important to communicate the latest evidence so that everyone can make...

Pope Francis has criticized President Joe Biden for his stance on abortion, which contradicts the president’s Catholic faith, weeks after the Vatican praised the U.S. Supreme Court for overturning Roe v. Wade. “A month after conception, the DNA of the fetus is already there and the organs are aligned. There is human life,” the pope said in an interview with Univision. “Is it just to eliminate a human life?” The pope went on to advise Biden to meet with his priest. “I leave it to [President Biden’s] conscience and that he speaks to his bishop, his pastor, his parish priest...

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.

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...
