We Already Know How Much Faster the iPhone 17 Is Than the iPhone 16

Did you know you can customize Google to filter out garbage? Take these steps for better search results, including adding my work at Lifehacker as a preferred source.The iPhone 17 series has left the realm of mere rumor. Apple announced its four new iPhones at yesterday's "Awe Dropping" event—the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. All four use the company's new A19 chip, though different models come equipped with different versions of it: The iPhone 17 uses the base model A19, while the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max use the A19 Pro. The iPhone Air has an A19 Pro, but it's a "binned" chip. There's a lengthy explanation of what that means, but in short, the Air uses a weaker version of the A19 Pro, so it isn't quite as powerful as the version you'll find on the Pro...

Mumbai docs give hope to elderly man suffering from severe food pipe rupture

Doctors at a hospital in Mumbai have saved the life of a 75-year-old cancer survivor, whose food pipe ruptured due to retching (forceful vomiting), by performing a minimally invasive endoscopic repair of his torn food pipe. The patient visited multiple hospitals for 15 days, in the hope of getting better treatment after battling fever, breathlessness, and being treated for pneumonia and fluid collection around the lungs. He was then brought to Nanavati Max Hospital in the emergency ward in a serious condition. The patient was experiencing breathlessness that began after an episode of retching. It was suspected that the patient had suffered an oesophageal rupture due to a sudden increase in pressure within the food pipe. A chest scan confirmed a rare diagnosis- Boerhaave’s syndrome. Dr H...

Even healthy children can be severely affected by respiratory syncytial virus

Even healthy, full‐term babies are at significant risk of intensive care or prolonged hospitalisation from serious respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections -- especially during the first three months of life, according to a study.  RSV is a common cause of respiratory infections in young children. Each year, RSV causes an estimated 3.6 million RSV-associated hospitalisations and approximately 100,000 RSV-attributable deaths in children under the age of five. It is well-known that premature babies and children with chronic diseases are at increased risk of developing severe illness when infected with RSV. But it has not been entirely clear how common severe disease is among previously healthy children. Researchers from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden analysed data from over 2.3 milli...

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...
