Antibody drug shows promise against lung cancer in first human trial

A team of researchers in China has led a first-in-human trial of an antibody drug that may provide better treatment for people with relapsed small-cell lung cancer (SCLC).  SCLC is a fast-growing, highly malignant lung cancer. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, there were 2.48 million people diagnosed with lung cancer in 2022. Of those, small cell lung cancer was diagnosed in 11.5 per cent of men and 9.7 per cent of women. Small-cell lung cancer has limited treatment options and a poor prognosis. The Phase I study of SHR-4849 (IDE849) -- a Delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3)-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) -- demonstrated manageable safety and early signs of anti-tumour activity in patients with relapsed SCLC. SHR-4849 consists of a humanised anti-DLL3 IgG1 mono...

‘The Paper’ creators explain why Oscar was perfect for ‘The Office’ spinoff – National

The Office may have ended, but its world is far from over because its spinoff, The Paper, carries on the mockumentary style and humour, introducing new characters on a new mission. This time around, the same documentary crew that followed Michael Scott and his employees at Scranton’s Dunder Mifflin is focusing on a Midwest local newspaper in Toledo, Ohio, as it tries to get back on its feet with a team of (untrained) volunteer journalists.Global News spoke with The Office director Greg Daniels, who is back at the helm of The Paper, and co-creator Michael Koman about the new series and their decision to bring back Oscar Nuñez , who is reprising his role from the original series.“The bones of the show is that it’s a documentary and the documentary crew is the main connective tissue.

Your AI Browser May Be Vulnerable to ‘Prompt Injection’ Attacks

Did you know you can customize Google to filter out garbage?

Mumbai docs successfully remove LED bulb from child’s lung after 3-month mystery

In a rare and extraordinary medical case, doctors at a Mumbai hospital have given a new lease of life to a child in the city, after successfully removing a metal LED bulb lodged in his lung.

Following unsuccessful attempts at flexible bronchoscopy in Kolhapur, the child was referred to doctors at Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre in Mumbai, where a rigid bronchoscopy r...

14 pc of Indians aged 45 and above could have obstructive lung disease: Study

Over 14 per cent of those aged 45 and above in India could be affected by obstructive lung disease, reveals an analysis by an international team of researchers, including those from Mumbai`s International Institute for Population Sciences. Over 31,000 adults were administered spirometry -- commonly used to test how well one`s lungs work -- as part of the `Longitudinal Aging Study in India` (LASI), the country`s first and world`s largest database of older population recorded over long-term. The findings published in the journal PLOS One show that men could be affected more, compared to women, and the prevalence increased with age. Obstructive lung disease -- of which Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a type -- is marked by damage to lungs, causing inflammation and obstr...
