Giving standard chemotherapy drugs in a specific sequence for some types of metastatic breast cancer can help reduce overall costs and improve the value of care while preserving quality of life. Currently, there are many chemotherapy choices to treat metastatic breast cancer. Oncologists have some preferences of which drugs to use early in treatment, but there is little clear evidence on the best order in which to give the drugs. The purpose of the study was to test whether putting the drugs in one sequence compared to another could keep the patient on treatment for similar times while decreasing their...

"In her annual speech on Wednesday, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said Brussels should have listened to the warnings on Russia from the Baltic states and Poland." "We should have listened to the voices inside our Union – in Poland, in the Baltics, and all across Central and Eastern Europe,” she said, adding that “they have been telling us for years that Putin would not stop” “They have invested in renewable energy, in LNG terminals, and in interconnectors,” von der Leyen said. “This costs a lot. But dependency on Russian fossil fuels comes at a much...

The credit for the last-minute deal to avert a national freight rail strike that would have disrupted supply chains and passenger travel is being given to Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh — after Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg and President Joe Biden were both out of town during the crucial negotiations. As Breitabrt News reported, Buttigieg and Biden were at the Detroit Auto Show on Wednesday, touting their support for electric vehicles, which receive billions of dollars in subsidies in the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” (which even some supporters acknowledge does nothing about short-term inflation).

Mandatory Title IX training tells Harvard undergrads they may be subject to disciplinary proceedings for 'sizeism,' 'fatphobia,' 'cisheterosexism,' 'ableism'.Welcome to Harvard! "Fatphobia" and "cisheterosexism" perpetuate "violence." "Using the wrong pronouns" constitutes "abuse." And "any words used to lower a person’s self-worth" are "Verbal Abuse." Those are just a handful of the things the school told all undergraduate students in a mandatory Title IX training session, according to materials reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. The online training, which all undergraduates were required to complete in order to enroll in courses, includes a "Power and Control Wheel" to help students identify...

All have fallen for the believe that the Ukrainian rapid advance has caused a Russian defeat. That however is not the case. The main Russian forces had already left the area. What was left were sentry guards of the Luhansk People’s Republic and a few companies of the Russian National Guard which is more or less a police force. That is why the ‘western’ official talking with Reuters is quite cautious with his assessment: “There’s an ongoing debate about the nature of the Russian drawdown, however it’s likely that in strict military terms, this was a withdrawal, ordered and sanctioned...

A new pre-print study by nine health experts from major universities showed that the COVID-19 vaccines are 98 times worse than the virus, and mandatory booster vaccination in college is “ethically unjustifiable,” as reported by Epoch Times.The study was posted on The Social Science Research Network (SSRN) in September, titled, “COVID-19 Vaccine Boosters for Young Adults: A Risk-Benefit Assessment and Five Ethical Arguments against Mandates at Universities.“It was conducted by nine top scientists from the University of Washington, University of Oxford, University of Toronto, Harvard University – Harvard Medical School, University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), Johns Hopkins University –...

The highly selective RET inhibitor selpercatinib was well-tolerated and achieved durable objective responses across multiple tumor types in the Phase I/II LIBRETTO-001 trial. Results from the tumor-agnostic cohort of patients show an objective response rate (ORR) of 44% for the targeted therapy. "The findings from this study demonstrate the potential for RET inhibitors to benefit patients across many tumor types," said Vivek Subbiah, M.D. RET fusions occur when a portion of the chromosome containing the RET gene breaks and rejoins with another piece of chromosome, creating a fusion protein that drives cancer development. Relatively rare across cancer types, these mutations...

snr0519 While astronomers have seen the debris from scores of exploded stars in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies, it is often difficult to determine the timeline of the star’s demise. By studying the spectacular remains of a supernova in a neighboring galaxy using NASA telescopes, a team of astronomers has found enough clues to help wind back the clock. The supernova remnant called SNR 0519-69.0 (SNR 0519 for short) is the debris from an explosion of a white dwarf star. After reaching a critical mass, either by pulling matter from a companion star or merging with another white...

Vice President Kamala Harris spoke Thursday at the United We Stand Summit hosted in the White House's East Room. The Summit, organized by President Biden's administration, is intended to "counter the corrosive effects of hate-fueled violence on our democracy and public safety," according to the White House. Harris opened the summit with remarks on the federal government's ongoing actions to address hate crimes nationwide. "Today, America is again looking at and confronting the epidemic of hate-fueled violence," Harris said. "In Oak Creek, Orlando, Victoria, Pittsburgh, El Paso, Atlanta, Buffalo, and in so many other communities we have seen our neighbors,...

Facebook has been spying on the private messages and data of American users and reporting them to the FBI if they express anti-government or anti-authority sentiments — or question the 2020 election — according to sources within the Department of Justice.Under the FBI collaboration operation, somebody at Facebook red-flagged these supposedly subversive private messages over the past 19 months and transmitted them in redacted form to the domestic terrorism operational unit at FBI headquarters in Washington, DC, without a subpoena.

Is this what a party does when it can’t keep voting on articles of impeachment? It’s been almost two years since former President Donald Trump’s defeat, yet House Democrats have managed to build an entire legislative agenda around Trump Derangements Syndrome. The House Oversight and Reform Committee alone has been firing away Trump-obsessed legislation, as Democratic sponsors for bills on the Census, civil service, and whistleblower protections all cite Trump as a key part of the justification for the proposals. The common line connecting all the bills is to curb executive power that should be in the hands of an...

A pro-life association released a backgrounder debunking several myths abortion advocates have pushed following the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade in its Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision this June. The American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, founded the same year as the landmark abortion case in 1973, has ramped up its efforts to combat the abortion industry in its August report, “Correcting Misinformation on Maternal Medical Care.” The report cites “abortion is an essential healthcare service” and “unrestricted abortion access is necessary for providing life-saving care for pregnant women” as two common myths that medical...

Many people want to know. Where are the Kyle Rittenhouse prosecutors now? Most legal professionals and folks with common sense agree – the prosecutors couldn’t convict Kyle Rittenhouse. They didn’t have a chance. That didn’t stop James Kraus and T. Clair Binger from trying their best. They also broke rules including mentioning Rittenhouse’s post-arrest silence, talking about things barred in pre-trial hearings, and more. Even with the cheating, they lost. We told you about how their first trials after Rittenhouse’s trial were both failures. KCE spoke with multiple jurors who told us they didn’t trust T. Clair Binger. Many predicted...

Several European countries are turning to high-tech floating vessels in a bid to reduce their reliance on Russian energy. Moscow has fueled an energy crisis in Europe by cutting off key pipeline gas supplies, but the specialist ships will enable countries like Germany to import seaborne natural gas for the first time. At least 25 floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs) are headed to Europe, according to S&P Global.

Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) reportedly believes Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) only has a 40 percent chance of winning the House majority come November, contradicting the speaker’s claim that she will actually gain seats. Speaking Monday night a restaurant with multiple Democrat Senators, Schumer estimated Pelosi’s House majority is “in trouble” and only gave her a 40 percent chance of retaining the chamber, Punchbowl News reported.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday said he understood that Xi Jinping had questions and concerns about the situation in Ukraine but praised China's leader for what he said was a "balanced" position on the conflict. -snip- At their first face-to-face meeting since the war, Xi said he was very happy to meet "my old friend" again after Putin said attempts by the United States to create a unipolar world would fail.

Two buses of illegal migrants sent by Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott arrived at Vice President Kamala Harris’ residence in Washington, D.C. on Thursday morning, according to Fox News. The buses, which came from Eagle Pass, Texas, transported 75 to 100 illegal migrants from Venezuela, Uruguay, Colombia and Mexico, Fox News reported. They arrived at Harris’ residence at the D.C. Naval Observatory early Thursday. The Biden administration has tasked Harris with addressing the “root causes of migration” as southern border migrant encounters are set to surpass 2 million in fiscal year 2022, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)...

An army of more than 200 MAGA candidates ready to fight for Donald Trump's agenda is marching into November's midterm races, after a heated primary season that proved the ex-president remains, for the most part, the de facto leader of the Republican Party. Trump has played a heavy hand in the 2022 election cycle thus far, endorsing candidates both for Congress and state executive roles in races that normally do not get the national attention he's brought to them.

I want to remind of something I said already- you are being browbeaten and intimidated into being afraid to question elections. If you do dare question an election outcome today, you are an enemy of the state and will be dealt with accordingly. Biden has declared 75 million Americans to be a "clear and present danger." That declaration allows Biden to suspend your First Amendment rights in case you were thinking about raising your concerns about voting integrity or results. Never mind that democrats spent four years not only questioning the 2016 but claiming that the election was stolen, that...
