The FDA has recently approved Zepbound, a medication used in combination with diet and exercise, as the first drug option for moderate to severe OSA in adults with obesity. We'll break down how Zepbound works by targeting hormones that reduce appetite, which leads to weight loss, and how this can improve OSA symptoms. We'll also explore the details of the clinical trials that led to this approval, including how they measured the medication's effectiveness and what potential side effects patients should be aware of.Support the showProduction and Content: Edward Delesky, MD & Nicole Aruffo, RNArtwork: Olivia Pawlowski

In Washington state, a law known as Ricky's Law, allows authorities to force people with addiction into treatment. The law is named after Ricky Garcia, whose struggles with drugs and alcohol inspired him and his friend Lauren Davis to push for change.From emergency room visits to suicide attempts, Davis watched as Garcia went through more than 75 emergency visits in just two years. Davis helped spearhead the state's involuntary treatment law and later went on to become a state lawmaker.But does forcing someone into treatment actually work?CBC journalist Julia Wong went to Washington state to find out how the law has been working in practice. In her documentary, Ricky's Law, she speaks to doctors and pa tients who've been through this system. It's a timely conversation as provinces in Canada are considering similar laws.Plus, a look at how New Brunswick ended up making a two-seater sports car in the 1970s called the Bricklin SV-1.Reported by Julia Wong.

BUFFALO, NY- October 23, 2024 – A new #editorial was #published in Oncotarget's Volume 15 on October 11, 2024, entitled, “Gene regulatory network and signalling pathway rewiring: How blood cancer cells shift their shapes to evade drug treatment.” As highlighted in the paper, Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a complex and diverse disease caused by multiple mutations in genes that regulate transcription and growth. These mutations lead to extensive rewiring of the gene regulatory network (GRN), which alters the identity of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, ultimately blocking normal myeloid differentiation. A key feature of AML is the presence of mutations in growth factor receptor and signaling genes, such as FLT3, KIT, and RAS. Notably, FLT3 is one of the most commonly mutated genes in AML, with around 25% of cases showing an internal tandem duplication (ITD) that causes the receptor to remain constantly active. In their paper, researchers Constanze Bonifer and Peter N. Cockerill from the Institute of Cancer and Genomic Sciences at the University of Birmingham, UK, and the Murdoch Children's Research Institute, Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, discuss recent publications from their group addressing this issue through a multi-omics study. The authors investigated how gene regulatory networks (GRNs) in FLT3-ITD patients were rewired compared to normal cells and in response to FLT3 inhibitor treatment. Several key findings stood out, including: 1) Mapping of open chromatin regions revealed that patients initially responsive to FLT3 inhibition showed significant rewiring of their GRNs, forming new connections between transcription factors (TFs) and target genes, while non-responsive patients did not; 2) Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments showed that drug treatment led to the loss of binding of RUNX1, the master regulator of hematopoiesis, and the MAP-Kinase (MAPK)-inducible TF AP-1; 3) Disruption of AP-1 binding via a dominant-negative version of the TF (dnFOS) also abolished RUNX1 binding at hundreds of sites, indicating that RUNX1 binding is AP-1 dependent; and 4) Inhibition of both AP-1 and RUNX1 led to a pronounced cell cycle block. “In summary, drugs that target individual signalling pathways in AML often fail to stop proliferation malignant growth, due to the wide variety, redundancy and cross talk between multiple pathways regulating and differentiation.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28662 Correspondence to - Constanze Bonifer - constanze.bonifer@mcri.edu.au Video short - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c_uT6aE36A Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article: https://oncotarget.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Foncotarget.28662 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Oncotarget: https://www.oncotarget.com/subscribe/ Keywords - cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, gene regulatory networks, aberrant growth factor signaling, transcription, RUNX1/AP-1 axis About Oncotarget Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

This week on Everyday Injustice, we sit down with LaToya Mitchell, Navigator Project Manager, CA Bridge Program and talked about the innovative program that helps get people from ER into drug treatment and reduce annual drug overdoses. A few weeks ago, she was part of a rally at the California Capitol to push for a package of bills that would improve access to programs such as the Bridge Navigator Project. The navigator program allows ER patients to connect with treatment medication and staff immediately. Mitchell explained, “What most people don't know is that it is the easiest substance use disorder to treat because medication like buprenorphine, which is commonly known by the brand name Suboxone, acts fast to stop the withdrawals without euphoria and allows the patient to feel like themselves before the addiction.” Her job is to lower the barriers for patients to receive the treatment. She said that “there's a lot of stigma for people who use drugs and that creates barriers like obtaining a Suboxone prescription from big chain pharmacies, so it's essential that I know which pharmacies are Suboxone friendly and provide that list to the patients.” Mitchell noted, “We found that with the presence of the navigator, patients felt more comfortable coming in and saying, I'm here because I'm having opioid withdrawals, as opposed to them naming their symptoms and because they were afraid of admitting their substance use. Because of that, we're able to get them treated and in and out in a couple of hours. Instead of spending six hours in the emergency room getting unnecessary and costly tests, we found that it actually saved resources and a lot of money.” Listen as Latoya Mitchell discusses the importance of harm reduction and the use of treatment over incarceration.

Testimony of Charlton BrownSeptember 20, 2023 by cmcbeats@yahoo.comWelcome to the Rise Up Radio Segment where we features powerful testimonies of the Life Changing Power of Jesus Christ.Interviewed by Pastor Dre HendersonHow was your life like before you came to know the lord?Charlton says that he grew up in church and that his parents had been saved for as long as he can remember. He says that he always wanted to be a sportsman but that he got involved with the wrong friends.He then started to party and try different things.He says that he stopped partying for a while and met a girl and fell in love but soon thereafter he was heartbroken. His heartbreak caused him to reach for the Tik pipe and his lift went downhill from there. He spent the next 12 years as a drug addict.How did you end up changing?Charlton says that one day he was smoking with his friends, and he was involved in an altercation, fighting with a friend of his.His rib ended up being cracked and he thought to himself is this all he would amount to.His father's words kept playing through his mind saying, ‘This is not who God has called you to be, it is just a phase in your life.'Later he found himself in the Victory Outreach Men's Recovery Home. At the Recovery home, God grabbed a hold of Him.He says that he told God, if God can change his life in one moment, then he wants to stick around to see what else God can do.What is God doing in your life today?Today Charlton serves at the churches Urban Training Centre, which helps to equip young leaders to walk in their purpose. He also serves as the Gang regional, leading the youth ministries around South Africa. Word of encouragement from Charlton:So, I am a testimony that God can do anything with anyone at any time. That your life is not too far gone for God to turn it all around. God didn't come for me at my best but when I was doing the worst.If you are a family member, trusting God to save a loved one,I'm standing here because there was a family that never gave up hope, that believed God for every promise and every word.That believed God at his word that says that it will not return void.The Bible says in Isaiah 60vs22 that At the right time I the Lord God will make it happen. God is about to do what he promised you. His word is about to bring forth and manifest itself because God is an amazing and he's a great God.He's a promise keeper, He's a way maker, He's a miracle worker and He's able to turn broken things and make them into beautiful masterpieces.So, my encouragement is to keep on pushing. Keep on believing. Keep on trusting God. God will do what He Said he would do.”For more information about our church, go to our website at:www.vocapetown.netThird Wave Nights – Fridays at 19:00pmGANG services @17h00 every SundaySunday morning service at 08:00am & 10:00amOn the 13th and the 14thOctober 2023 Victory Outreach will be hosting a carnival entitled Victory Fest.Prebook tickets via the link below:http://Vocapetown.net/victoryfestFor more information about our Recovery HomesContact details are: 061 407 9474/021 691 9575You can also visit our contact us page.Thanks for listening family.
