Androgen deprivation + anti-PD1 trial for #prostatecancer.
"These data provide a reasonable therapeutic rationale to combine ADT with immunotherapy, thus leveraging anti-tumor immunity while mitigating the ADT-mediated induction of suppressive mechanisms. To that end, we designed and initiated the PRIME-CUT Phase II trial (NCT03951831) treating men with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) with a combination of standard of care chemo-hormonal therapy and anti-PD-1 immunotherapy using the anti-PD-1 immunotherapy cemiplimab."

"When Claudia Goldin received her Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics, she was only the third woman to receive the award after Esther Duflo (2019) and Elinor Ostrom (2009). It was the first time in the history of the 54-year-old prize that women held more Nobels in economics than the uncles of Larry Summers (Paul Samuelson and Kenneth Arrow). An anecdote, but it illustrates the level of representation of women in economics."

"Large outbreaks of diseases that primarily kill children are spreading around the world, a grim legacy of disruptions to health systems during the Covid-19 pandemic that have left more than 60 million children without a single dose of standard childhood vaccines."

Just when I'd finally found good kimchi in Lisbon!!
"The antibiotic resistome was further illustrated in traditionally fermented food samples, and antibiotic-resistant bacteria were isolated from approximately 90% of the retail kimchi and all artisan cheeses assessed in this pilot screening."

'(...) even if European far-right parties do not overturn democracy, they can pull political debate on to their turf. The most obvious trait they share is a powerful hostility towards immigration — particularly of Muslims — and a willingness to contemplate measures that have previously been dismissed as impractical, intolerable or illegal.'

"The first thing you should know about Social Security is that the actual numbers don’t justify the apocalyptic rhetoric one often hears, not just from the right but from self-proclaimed centrists who want to sound serious."

'Filho’s native city of Recife has also been subject to similar remodellings, as shown in the second and third parts here, through the decline of its cinema houses. As they fall into dereliction, it feels like a form of collective dementia, robbing its citizens of a shared cultural continuity.'

🇫🇷 The French welfare agency uses an algorithm to detect potential fraudsters. Every month, it ranks the households of 32 million people, including 13 million children, with a "risk score".
For the first time, @LaQuadrature obtained its source code and could run it.
The criteria that increase the risk score are
- being poor,
- living in a poor neighborhood,
- being a single mother,
- being unemployed,
- having a disability.
