    For patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS), rituximab is not noninferior to ocrelizumab, according to a study. Izanne Roos, M.B.Ch.B., Ph.D. and colleagues examined whether the effectiveness of rituximab is noninferior to ocrelizumab in relapsing-remitting MS in an observational cohort study. Participants had a history of relapsing-remitting MS treated with ocrelizumab or rituximab, a minimum follow-up of six months, and sufficient data to calculate the propensity score. The analysis included 710 patients treated with ocrelizumab and 186 treated with rituximab. The researchers found that the annualized rate of relapses ratio was higher in patients treated with rituximab versus ocrelizumab (rate...

    Thanks in advance for any help. I used the counter on a video editor to measure the time from the spike to when Payton was struck. The counter says .06 seconds. That seems to short to me. Anyway...at .06 travel time, if my math is right, figures to 142mph. Way too fast. I think I'm off by 50%. 70mph seems more likely. Any help is appreciated.

Judge Lewis Kaplan set a trial date of Jan. 15, 2024, around the time of the first presidential primaries. This is the latest move by the Democrats to interfere in the 2024 election. The worthless Republican Party continues to ignore this tyranny. Nutbag E. Jean Carroll claims then-President Trump “defamed her” in 2019 when he said she was “not my type” while denying that he raped her in a department store dressing room. The...

    Some people have vowed to boycott Bud Light in recent months over the beer brand’s partnership with social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, who is transgender and has publicly documented her experience transitioning online. Both Mulvaney and Bud Light have faced intense anti-trans backlash online since the partnership was announced in April. The controversy has also led to multiple false claims, including that Anheuser-Busch’s CEO resigned and the entire marketing team was fired. Now, after more than two decades as America’s best-selling beer, Bud Light has fallen to second place. Modelo Especial overtook Bud Light in U.S. retail dollar sales in...
