Was the omission of key data intentional or unintentional?

Data from a trial show that adding the new drug Eganelisib to standard treatment significantly improves the length of survival for patients with triple-negative breast cancer whose disease remains unexacerbated. Patients benefited regardless of their PD-L1 status.

The dental profession can use these tools as a guide to improve the sustainability of their working environment and to recognise their efforts by tracking progress.

Biopharmaceutical company Airway has announced that the first patient will be administered AT-100 (rhSP-D) in a phase 1b randomised trial to prevent the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in very preterm infants. The novel prophylactic AT-100 reduces the incidence and severity of the severe respiratory disease BPD and may improve the prognosis of very preterm infants.

Nectin-4 is an important target that has been shown to be available as a treatment for locally advanced and advanced bladder cancer. Based on this, Padcev (enfortumab-vedotin-ejfv), the first ADC drug (antibody-coupled drug) for uroepithelial carcinoma, has also received accelerated FDA approval for the treatment of locally advanced or advanced bladder cancer in patients who have previously received immune checkpoint inhibitors (PD-L1, PD-1) and platinum-containing chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) or after surgery (adjuvant therapy). Adult patients with advanced or late-stage uroepithelial carcinoma (a common type of bladder cancer).

According to Telegraph, a new study shows that human doctors will still outperform "robot doctors" in surgery. Compared with robots, human doctors need shorter time to complete surgery, and the error rate is not high.

As more and more organisms become resistant to antibiotics, the threat to human health is increasing. The overuse of antibiotics leads to drug resistance. It is very important to limit the use of antibiotics. The research team of the University of Alberta in Canada has recently developed a hand-held detection instrument, which allows first-line clinicians to distinguish between patients with viral infection or bacterial infection within a few minutes, thus helping to reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions and overuse of antibiotics. Because antibiotics are only effective for bacteria, if the patient is infected with virus, there is no need to prescribe antibiotics.

Recently, Nassim Annabi, an assistant professor of Northeastern University in the United States, and other researchers from the University of Sydney in Australia jointly developed an advanced surgical glue MeTro. When using, the glue directly enters the wound and is solidified and sealed within 60 seconds. Naxim said, "The advantage of MeTro formula is that once it touches the organ, it will appear as gel instantly and will not slip."

According to data from an ongoing Phase I/Ib clinical trial (NCT04374877), an innovative IL-27 inhibitor called SRF388 has shown promising results in the treatment of locally advanced or advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which undoubtedly brings new hope for the treatment of lung cancer patients in general!

When it comes to the breath detector, everyone will think of the thing used by the traffic police to check drinking and driving. For those who drink and drive, they will lose their temper when they see the breath detector. In fact, the gas exhaled by the human body has many characteristics. It can not only detect alcohol, but also reflect the health of the human body and detect some diseases. This breath detector introduced in this article can detect breast cancer, diabetes, lung cancer, Parkinson's disease, asthma, schizophrenia, kidney and liver failure and other diseases.
