Welcome to the (delayed) 10th & SUMMER BOTOX SPECIAL EPISODE of BSCOS Paediatric Orthopaedic Digest (POD)cast with Caroline Edwards, Head of Childrens Surgery  at Plymouth hospital who started her consultant career at Southampton Childrens Hospital, she set up and developed the neuromuscular service. She proposes a "hub and spoke" model for learning at busy tertiary centres and shared her research on the surgical vulnerability score, a tool to assess the likelihood of early death in patients with neuromuscular disorders. Caroline highlights the challenges faced by young adults transitioning from clinic care for cerebral palsy and suggested district general hospitals could provide dedicated clinics. Listen in to the episode to learn more!   We scoured 35 journals & highlighted the most impactful studies that we feel can change practice or improve outcomes in Paediatric Orthopaedics.  Follow Updates on @BSCOS_UK  REFERENCES: 1.     Skeletal Muscle in Cerebral Palsy: From Belly to Myofibril.

Torr Metals CEO Malcolm Dorsey joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce preliminary results that have identified near-surface high-priority geophysical resistivity anomalies extending up to 1.5 kilometers in depth. These anomalies are coincident with highly anomalous copper, gold, and molybdenum mineralization at the surface. Dorsey explained to Proactive that exploration drill targets have been identified using a newly completed 3D resistivity inversion voxel model. This model was derived from the ZTEM geophysical survey completed over the entirety of the company's 100% owned approximately 140 square kilometers Kolos Copper-Gold Project in late 2023. The identified trend encompasses five priority exploration targets that delineate potential porphyry centers, all of which have never been drilled before. Importantly, all of these priority exploration targets are road-accessible from Highway 5, situated approximately 23 kilometers north-northeast of the city of Merritt. These findings represent a significant step forward in the exploration efforts of Torr Metals, potentially unlocking valuable mineral resources in the Kolos Copper-Gold Project. #proactiveinvestors #torrmetalsinc #tsxv #tmet #mining #gold #silver #Mining, #Geology, #Exploration, #CopperMining, #GoldMining, #Geophysics, #Geochemistry, #Drilling, #MineralExploration, #ResourceDiscovery, #MiningIndustry, #Metals, #NaturalResources, #MiningTechnology, #GeologicalSurvey, #ResourceManagement, #SustainableMining, #MiningEngineering, #ExplorationGeology #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

In this episode of the BackTable Podcast, host Dr. Ally Baheti interviews Dr. Michael Cumming about the issue of site of service differentials in healthcare. Dr. Cumming is an interventional radiologist and the founder of Vascular and Interventional Experts. They discuss the history and the impact of these differentials, which often result in higher costs for identical services depending on the site they're carried out in. For example, services offered within hospitals typically cost significantly more than those offered in ambulatory surgery centers or physician offices. The doctors also describe the role of key stakeholders such as lobbyists and industry players, the outcomes of care provided in various settings, and ongoing legislative efforts to address these issues. Finally, they discuss how physicians can advocate for high quality, value-based care. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS Siemens Healthineers https://www.siemens-healthineers.com/ Varian Embolization Solutions https://www.varian.com/products/interventional-solutions/embolization-solutions --- SHOW NOTES 00:00 - Introduction 03:33 - Site of Service and Its Impact on Payment 06:15 - Role of CMS in Determining Payment 09:09 - Role of Advocacy Groups in Site of Service Payments 17:51 - Future of Site of Service Payments 20:17 - Negative Consequences of Site of Service Differentials 24:01 - Closing Remarks and Reflections --- RESOURCES CMS.gov website: https://www.cms.gov/ Preliminary Results of the Outpatient Endovascular and Interventional Society National Registry: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1526602820949970

The preliminary results are in for Finland's tightly contested election.  Three party leaders all harbour hopes of emerging as Prime Minister.  The incumbent centre-left Sanna Marin met with New Zealand's former Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, in November last year. Marin ran against Petteri Orpo of the centre-right National Coalition Party, and Riikka Purra of the far-right Finns Party. The BBC World Service's Europe regional editor Danny Aeberhard spoke to Guyon Espiner.  

On a clear summer morning in 1908, a bright light was seen in the sky over the Siberian forest around the Tunguska River. Minutes later, a shock wave flattened 800 square miles of forest, killed hundreds of thousands of animals, and blew out windows some 200 miles away from the impact site. But when scientists went looking for the crater, they found no evidence that anything at all had hit the ground. On this episode, we're discussing meteors / comets / asteroids / meteoroids, space grazers, a lake with a weird shape, and what exactly lay at ground zero of the Tunguska Event.

However, despite improvement in outcomes, patients with MM ultimately relapse and must undergo further treatment. Early studies show that Cereblon E3 Ligase Modulators (CELMoDs®) iberdomide and CC-92480 show similar trends in activity in patients refractory to IMiDs. This new next generation of IMIDs have shown enhanced tumoricidal and immune-stimulatory effects compared with first-generation IMiDs and have the potential to replace the current standard of care in both frontline and RRMM. This program covers the benefits as well as current challenges with the use of first-generation IMiDs while exploring the MOA, clinical, and safety activity to date of selective CELMoD® therapy in MM.

Economist Emma Dillon joins Emma-Louise Coffey on this week's Dairy Edge podcast to discuss farm incomes from 2021. Emma explained that farms experienced an increase input prices to the tune of 11% for dairy systems primarily from fertiliser, feed and fuel in 2021. This was coupled with a significant rise in milk price and output.  Consequently dairy farm income rose by 23% compared with 2020 to €97,350. Dairy farms remain viable with 85% of Irish dairy farms defined as either viable or sustainable given their ability to be profitable annually, remunerate labour and provide return on investment. Emma concludes by speculating on dairy farm income for 2022 with the healthy farm gate prices set to continue which provides a buffer between input costs and milk price received.   For more information:https://www.teagasc.ie/publications/2022/Teagasc-National-Farm-Survey-2021-Preliminary-Results.php For more episodes from the Dairy Edge podcast go to the show page at: https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/the-dairy-edge-podcast/ The Dairy Edge is a co-production with LastCastMedia.com

AHRI's Dr Mechelle Owen has been collating data from the 2020 random resistance survey. This is part of a national project, with investment from GRDC.Mechelle has been conducting these random surveys for a number of years and so she shares some of the trends in this interview she has identified from the 2015 survey results compared to these latest preliminary results from Western Australia. Some of the results available and shared in this interview include the resistance status of barley grass, brome grass and wild radish. One of the trends Mechelle identified was the spread of SU resistance in brome grass. Initially resistance was only picked up in the northern agricultural region in WA. In 2015, this resistance spread further south into the central and southern regions. This trend was again picked up in the latest 2020 data. To hear more details about the results and trends, take a listen!

June 8, 2022 — The last voter of the night cast her ballot with ten seconds to spare. She was heavily pregnant with a baby on her hip and a firm grasp on another child's hand as they approached the dropbox in the parking lot outside the county administrative building. She spent the journey back to the car explaining the fundamentals of democracy. Preliminary voting results, with no precincts reporting yet, showed no surprises at the state level. The incumbents were defeating their challengers handily. Locally, incumbent Supervisors John Haschak and Ted Williams each have a comfortable lead. Williams is ahead of challenger John Redding with over 85% of 759 votes counted in the fifth district. In the third,Haschak is leading challenger Clay Romero with 77% of 692 votes so far. But incumbent County Superintendent of Schools Michelle Hutchins is in a tight race with challenger Nicole Glentzer, behind by almost four percentage points. That's a difference of 130 votes just a few minutes after 8:00 last night. Measure M, the proposed bond in the Anderson Valley School District, is winning with almost 65% of the 116 votes counted so far. And Trent James, the write-in candidate for sheriff's office, broke the 5% threshold predicted by some election watchers, with 5.16%, or 138 votes, to incumbent Matt Kendall's 2,536 votes. Assessor clerk recorder Katrina Bartolomie took a few minutes to talk about the first report of the evening, in the lull before the first precincts brought in their ballots. She expects to have updated numbers in a week and a half to two weeks, “hopefully by the end of June,” she predicted. The county has thirty days to certify the election. There was the usual election-day confusion about ballots that had been lost, forgotten, or never made it to the intended recipient, “so we were able to help them with that, and direct them to the right place,” Bartolomie reported. “We had an active day today, but it wasn't too busy.” A few minutes after eight, one voter, who arrived too late to turn in his ballot, “kind of cussed out” an election worker, but, “Everyone else seemed happy,” Bartolomie said. She had not received any calls from people who were confused about the write-in candidate. “I think that the people that wanted to write in the write-in candidate have been doing so,” she observed. There is no voter ID law in California, and Mendocino is an all mail-in county, with physical polling places available for voters who want to cast a provisional ballot or need to register the same day. Voters who want a provisional ballot verify their identity by answering questions. The county uses Hart voting machines, and Bartolomie said that, while her office gets questions from the public, there is very little of the hostility that has been directed at elections officials in many parts of the US. “I think that's one thing we can chalk up to living in a small rural county,” she concluded.

Smith: I was. Andrew Grant: Yeah, no, we’re getting towards the end of results season. I suppose, you know, those Sainsbury’s results, you’ve read them. Darren A. Smith: I have. Andrew Grant: More of the same really that we saw with Tesco and Morrisons. Everybody, all the supermarkets, all the food grocers, doing incredibly well out of COVID, but at a cost. Darren A. Smith: That’s true. So we’re looking at the preliminary results for the 52 weeks ended 6th of March ’21. What was the biggest highlight for you, the COVID cost? Andrew Grant: No, I think you’re going to touch on that in a second, but for me, it’s online. We’ve talked about it in several of these episodes, but their online sales have doubled from 8% of their business to 17% of the business. Most importantly, they’re now saying that they’re profitable online sales. So what the pandemic seems to have done is got all of them over that base cost line of running trucks and having to pick stuff in stores. You’ve got a lot of fixed costs there. They didn’t have the volume before to make it profitable. All of a sudden it’s kicked their online, or their home delivery operations, into profit, which is good news for, I guess, the shareholders going forward. Darren A. Smith: That makes sense. So we’re saying now that one in five customers are ordering online. Andrew Grant: Yeah. Darren A. Smith: They’ve managed to make it profitable, so they’ve got over their hump, whatever that was 10%, 15%. Okay, all right. The one I do want to raise is the COVID costs,

Morrisons’ Preliminary Results Join Andrew Grant and Darren A. Smith in the twentieth episode of Grocery Guru discussing Morrison’s supermarkets’ preliminary results for the 52 weeks to 31st January 2021. Morrisons are the first supermarket to release preliminary results following Covid-19. Click the image for the full report. You Can Read the Full Morrisons’ Preliminary Results Episode Transcript Below: Darren A. Smith: Welcome to episode 20 of our weekly chat with the Grocery Guru that is Andrew Grant. Andrew, how are you? Andrew Grant: Morning, Darren. Very good, thank you. Darren A. Smith: Good, good. Okay, so in this week’s 10-minute chat with the Grocery Guru, we’re going to talk about Morrisons’ preliminary results, because they’re the first after COVID, is that right? Andrew Grant: Yeah, the first major retailer to put out full-blown annual results post COVID, January 31st. Obviously, you’ve got Tesco and Sainsbury’s following in the next few weeks. Darren A. Smith: Right, okay. The general people, good, bad? What did you think of the results? Andrew Grant: It’s fascinating actually because the headlines I think in the press yesterday were the share price dropped significantly because I think the city suddenly realized the sheer cost of this pandemic to the supermarkets. On the face of it, they’ve done really well, and the chief exec was praising how well the business had done, and they have done a phenomenal job if you think about it, all the supermarkets feeding the country with a little issue of Brexit in the middle. Andrew Grant: Yeah, they’re like-for-like sales, the standard industry measure of sales performance up 8.6%. That would be … supermarkets would’ve given their right and left arms for that two years ago. Darren A. Smith: In comparison, 8.6, but 2019 on the previous year was down .8%, so it’s really a 9. 10. stretch. You’re right, would’ve given their arms or legs. Andrew Grant: But then, their profit’s down 50.7%. Was it 290 million spent on COVID costs, restructuring, PPE, additional staff, additional vans and online delivery, and then 230 million of business rates that they handed back to the government, so they carried on paying? What’s that, 520 million they could’ve made if it hadn’t been for COVID. They made 400 million last year, and it’s cost them 500 million. It’s cost them a years of profits to survive COVID. Darren A. Smith: That’s a good takeaway, isn’t it? A year’s profits to survive COVID, because all of us look at industries like hospitality, and think they’re wiped out, they’re struggling, it’s going to be hard to come back. The supermarkets are doing really, really well, but they’re not. Andrew Grant: Think about it, it’s this spike effect, isn’t it? The supermarkets have had this big, 10% spike, plus a massive spike in costs, and they’re driving, at the moment, headlong into that. I think I’d rather be a pub chain, where all of a sudden when I open up in May, I’ll be 300% up on the year. The figures will look fantastic. Darren A. Smith: That’s very true. I guess, maybe don’t look as hard and as fast as people like you and I and account managers out there, but if they are, you’re right, they’re going to be up hugely. I noticed other things like 300 McColl’s stores to be converted to Morrisons Daily over the next three years. A new contract with McColl’s signed to extend the partnership to 2027, so there’s some good news in there. Andrew Grant: Yeah, becoming big in convenience, absolutely. One thing that got me, and whether I’ve done these … because, I’m not a city analyst, I wish I was, but net profitability, the argument’s always gone that the supermarkets in the UK are incredibly efficient, because basically their net profitability’s 2% on average. Andrew Grant: 2p in the pound is all they make from all the work they do, and Tesco always lauded, back in the day, that they got over 5 pence in the pound profit, and Dave Lewis left on a massive high last year getting it back to 4.2, I think. Darren A. Smith: 4.2? Okay. Andrew Grant: Morrisons last year was bang on the average, 1.98% margin, net margin. What do you think it was last year when you do the sums? Darren A. Smith: Don’t know. Go on, tell me. Andrew Grant: Just over a half, .5p in the pound profit for everything they did. That is a lot of hard work, effort, and energy for half a p in the pound. Darren A. Smith: That is not a lot, is it? It sort of reminds me of Thomas Cook, you look at big companies like that who have billions, but actually, do they make money? Andrew Grant: Yeah, so it is quite interesting. We spoke last week about Amazon Fresh opening, and how if they want to expand quickly, do they just take out … overall the disused Topshop’s and Dorothy Perkins littering the high streets, or do they buy a ready-made retailer? Andrew Grant: Morrisons operating profit, 254 million. I don’t know what multiples supermarkets sell on, but say Amazon had to pay 10 times that, two and a half billion, they’re working a couple of trillions, so it is small change for Amazon to say, “Let’s buy Morrisons.” Darren A. Smith: That’s very true, and then they could dominate the market very, very quickly, and take a 10% share overnight. Very true. Andrew Grant: The fact that Morrisons share price dived so dramatically yesterday would say that Amazon isn’t on the city radar, otherwise, it would’ve gone up. Darren A. Smith: Very true. Andrew Grant: I think the takeout of all of that for Morrisons, and for the other, because obviously as I said, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, and the others will be published in the next four weeks, I’m sure it will be a similar story. They are driving headlong into some pretty horrific comparables. They won’t get the same sales growth this year, because people will go back to restaurants and pubs, so a huge chunk of their food, and particularly the drink business will go back to normal, so big like-for-like declines there, but this continuing cost base, because they’re still going to have to … online deliveries have changed forever, so the extra cost of vans and people driving them and picking is still going to be there … Darren A. Smith: It comes back to a point a moment ago about hospitality, there’s an argument that because we’ve all been locked down for nearly a year, maybe we’ll go out more. What was once a week treat, a pub might be twice a week. Andrew Grant: Yeah, and will all 60 million of us end up in Benidorm, because we’re desperate to get a foreign holiday? Maybe the country will be empty in August. Darren A. Smith: It could be. Bird’s Eye used to say, “It’s about the share of stomach.” Are we going to have two pub meals a week, and therefore we’re not buying as many groceries, so what will they be like when per cent growth is going to go down even further? Andrew Grant: Yeah, so some big sales challenges, but then the costs, how do they get those cost under control? They’ve still got to pay the van drivers, they’ve still got to pay the in-store pickers, there’s still going to be distancing restrictions, they’re still going to have to keep investing in all the plexiglass, and the masks, and hand sanitisers, you would imagine, so where do they control their costs against falling sales to deliver any sort of profit? Andrew Grant: Only two ways, you cut your costs dramatically, and all of them have just announced in the last few weeks head office and store management restructurings, and then obviously, Sainsbury’s in the last couple of weeks, “We’re going to price match Aldi,” and a very nicely worded letter to suppliers saying, “Please, help us on our journey to deliver better value for our shoppers,” which in your language and my language is give us some cost reductions. Darren A. Smith: Also, the other part is Morrisons, very admirably, are the first to a minimum of £10 to all their staff? Andrew Grant: Yeah. Darren A. Smith: That’s got to come from somewhere as well, which is all very admirable, but this is on top of costs that are ramping out of control. Andrew Grant: Yeah, you can imagine that the suppliers, many of them have been reeling over the last year. Some categories have done very, very well, as we know the comfort food area has done very, very well, but obviously, they’ll have increased costs, and then I think we’re going to get the supermarkets coming with requests. Darren A. Smith: We won’t touch on this. I’m just going to bring out one other thing, so we’re talking about the news released preliminary results for the 52 weeks ending 31st January 2021 for Morrisons, and one of the things I noticed, Andrew, was online sales tripled during the year, with capacity up fivefold? Not a surprise, but quite stark to read that. Morrisons on Amazon is available in 50 towns and cities, and already accounts for more than 10% of sales in the majority of stores. Andrew Grant: I saw that that is quite interesting. Darren A. Smith: It is, they’re getting closer and closer, aren’t they? Andrew Grant: Yeah. Darren A. Smith: A piece about carbon neutral with the British farming supply chain, and then one other bit I noticed was they’ve extended a 10% discount for all NHS staff for the whole of 2021. Again, another cost, very admirable. Andrew Grant: As I was told yesterday, I haven’t seen it, but they’re doing £10 afternoon Mother’s Day teas. One of these meal deals where I think for 10 quid you get some nice little triangular sandwiches, some cakes, some clotted cream, all put together for 10 quid to take round to your mom’s, or to leave on mom’s doorstep probably, can’t remember quite what the rules are anymore, for Mother’s Day. Darren A. Smith: Okay, we’ll see as it’s two days to Mother’s Day, I better go and try and book one. Andrew Grant: Yeah, go and get yourself a Morrisons Mother’s Day cream tea, leave it on your mom’s step. Ring the bell, and step back two meters. Darren A. Smith: All right. Andrew, before we go, what’s the one takeaway you want us, the people that are listening, watching, to take from this? Andrew Grant: I think it’s going to be … every year is a tough year, last year’s been tough. In terms of the supermarket trade, it’s going to be as tough as it ever was, for different reasons. Darren A. Smith: Very true. All right, Andrew, Grocery Guru, thank you very much. We’ll talk with you again next week. Andrew Grant: Okay, take care. Darren A. Smith: Take care. Bye-bye.

There have been celebrations and commiserations today - with the initial results of the two referendums released. Preliminary results of the referendum on the End of Life Choice Act show 65-point-1-percent of voters in favour of the legislation and 33-point-8-percent opposed. However, the Cannabis Legislation and Control Bill is unlikely to become law: the vote in that referendum is 46-point-1-percent in favour and 53-point-1 opposed.

Episode 5: City Council Preliminary results by MsHotSauce

In this episode, Kyle and Joe interview Ben Sessa, a Consultant Psychiatrist. Ben comes on the show to talk about preliminary results from the first ever, MDMA assisted therapy for alcohol use disorder (AUD). 3 Key Points: Ben Sessa plays a role in leading the current MDMA assisted therapy study for alcohol use disorder, and shares preliminary results. In the current stage, out of the first 12 patients, 2 have turned back to drinking, 5 have stayed completely dry and another 5 who have had a drink or two but have not relapsed back to their typical levels of consumption. Most people with a long term substance addiction have a history of trauma. MDMA can help people feel safe, in order to work through and heal trauma.

Navigating Psychedelics Trip Journal                                               Integration Workbook Show Notes Preliminary Results They had 13 people in the study, and they took data on 4 people The first caveat in these results is that there was no blinding and no placebo in this study There is no way to tell that it was solely the drug that resulted in the effects In terms of tolerability, everyone preferred it to other treatment, there were no bad reactions to the MDMA, there were no negative reactions, it was a total success in terms of tolerability In the current stage, out of the first 12 patients, 2 have turned back to drinking, 5 have stayed completely dry and another 5 who have had a drink or two but have not relapsed back to their typical levels of consumption They did a similar study previous to this one except without the MDMA and they had 11 patients, 9 of them went back to their full level of consumption They chose alcohol use disorder because it's so difficult to treat All patients are recruits from local drug and alcohol services Ben picks them up after they have detoxed, after they have been cured of the physical dependence, but when they have yet to be cured of the psychological dependence They receive 2 dosing days within their 8 week therapy (usually weeks 3 and 6) They do 125mg and then half that size dose 2 hours later, which sustains the high Ben mentions that recruitment is difficult, a lot of people have a drinking problem, but they can't have patients that are depressed, suicidal, pregnant, epileptic, etc. Future for the Study Up until next March, they are continuing to take in new patients for the study to have more data The next step is to have a randomized control study This current study is sponsored by Imperial College of London It's not a MAPS sponsored study, it's the first non MAPS, MDMA study The main papers, with all the data are over a year and a half away from publishing Addiction and Trauma “MDMA addiction is as rare as a hen with teeth.” - Ben “Most people with a long term substance addiction have a history of trauma.” - Ben Trauma and PTSD is highly treatment resistant There are certain drugs that inhibit fear response, such as alcohol, heroin, etc They make you forget the pain but you can't work with them and do therapy with them, with MDMA you can MDMA can help people feel safe, in order to work through and heal trauma “We are all the products of our attachment relationships.” - Ben Breaking Convention This past year was the 5th one There were 1300 attendees from all over the world What's wonderful about Breaking Convention is how multidisciplinary it is There's the guy in the gray suit in one room talking about high level neuroscience and a hippie with dreads in the other room talking about the spirits that live in the Salvia leaves Ben says they work really hard to make that balance work There's a lot of debate and conflict in the psychedelic movement right now, Breaking Convention is very important for creating space for this debate Looking ahead Ben is looking into opening a clinic He mentions academia is not his area of study, he is a clinician, but this research is an excuse to treat patients Links Breaking Convention About Ben Sessa Ben Sessa is a consultant psychiatrist in adult addictions, working part-time at Addaction in Weston-Super-Mare and is senior research fellow at Bristol, Cardiff and Imperial College London Universities, where he is currently taking time off clinical medical practice to study towards a PhD in MDMA Psychotherapy. He has specialist training as a child and adolescent psychiatrist and is interested in the developmental trajectory from child maltreatment to adult mental health disorders. Dr Sessa’s joint interests in psychotherapy, pharmacology and trauma have lead him towards researching the subject of drug-assisted psychotherapy using psychedelic adjuncts. He is the author of two books exploring psychedelic medicine; The Psychedelic Renaissance (2012) and To Fathom Hell or Soar Angelic (2015) and is currently conducting research with Imperial College London and Cardiff universities studying the potential role for MDMA-assisted therapy for the treatment of PTSD and alcohol dependence syndrome. Dr Sessa is outspoken on lobbying for change in the current system by which drugs are classified in the UK, believing a more progressive policy of regulation would reduce the harms of recreational drug use. He is a co-founder and director of the UK’s Breaking Convention conference.

Dr Bauml speaks with ecancertv at ASCO 2016 to discuss the first findings of KEYNOTE 055, a trial for PD-L1/2 blocking pembrolizumab for patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC). Pembrolizumab showed promising anti-tumour activity in earlier KEYSTONE 012 results, which are confirmed in this setting with an overall recovery rate of 18% and a stable disease rate of 18%. Dr Bauml discusses the impact of these findings for those whom platinum and cetuximab therapy had failed, the wider aspects of checkpoint inhibitory therapy, and next steps for the trial.

The preliminary results of Cerebrolysin in patients with Acute ischemic STroke in Asia (CASTA) were presented at the 2010 World Stroke Congress in Seoul, Korea. CASTA is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Cerebrolysin. The trial included patients from more than 50 participating centres with acute ischemic hemispheric stroke who were randomized within 12 hours of symptom onset to treatment (30 ml Cerebrolysin diluted in physiologic saline) or placebo (saline) given as intravenous infusion once daily for 10 days. Carmen Lahiff-Jenkins, Managing Editor of the International Journal of Stroke spoke to leader in the field of stroke and strokeologist with considerable clinical trial experience, Professor Stephen Davis who has also been a member of an independent data and safety monitoring committee and has attended some advisory board meetings for the CASTA trial.

Yes, I know -- I just talked about Stardust in episode 50. But in the meantime, the first batch of preliminary science papers was released on the 15th of December in the journal Science. There's a full set of material available (currently, at least, freely available) on the Science website, but many folks could probably use a bit of help in interpreting the news, and putting it into some sort of context. Tune in this week, and I'll try to explain it all to you. If you're new to the podcast, I'd recommend you listen to episodes 16, 17, and 37 before this one.

Background: Photofrin II has been demonstrated to serve as a specific and selective radiosensitizing agent in in vitro and in vivo tumor models. We aimed to investigate the feasibility of a clinical application of Photofrin II. Material and Methods: 12 patients were included in the study (7 unresectable solid tumors of the pelvic region, 3 malignant gliomas, 1 recurrent oropharyngeal cancer, 1 recurrent adenocarcinoma of the sphenoid sinus). The dose of ionizing irradiation was 30-50.4 Gy; a boost irradiation of 14 Gy was added for the pelvic region. All patients were intravenously injected with 1 mg/kg Photofrin II 24 h prior to the commencement of radiotherapy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) controls and in some cases positron emission tomography (PET) were performed in short intervals. The mean follow-up was 12.9 months. Results: No major adverse events were noted. Minor adverse events consisted of mild diarrhea, nausea and skin reactions. A complete remission was observed in 4/12 patients. A reduction in local tumor volume of > 45% was achieved in 4/12 patients. Stable disease was observed in 4/12 patients. 1 patient showed local disease progression after 5 months. Conclusion: The early follow-up results are encouraging regarding the feasibility of the application of Photofrin II as a radiosensitizing agent.

Background: The local recurrence rate of colorectal cancer has been significantly reduced due to the use of combined radiochemotherapy. Despite this improvement regarding locally advanced tumour recurrences, the treatment strategy for pre-treated patients remains difficult and unresolved. Patients and Methods: We analysed treatment and follow-up data of 14 patients with local recurrence of rectal cancer who were treated with radiation therapy (RT), chemotherapy (CT) and regional hyperthermia (RHT) from November 1997 to December 2001. Nine of these patients had received irradiation and CT (=pre-treated patients) in the past. For this group, 30.6-39.6 Gy RT, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) as a continuous infusion over 5 days per week (350 mg/m(2)/24 h) combined with RHT twice a week was given. The 5 remaining patients (=not pre-treated) received conformal irradiation of 45 Gy with a boost between 9 and 14.4 Gy, combined with continuous infusion of 5-FU on days 1-4, and 29-33 (500 mg/m(2)/24 h), and RHT twice a week. Response to therapy was evaluated by means of computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and by clinical follow-up. Results: Among 13 evaluated cases, the overall objective response rate was 54% (5 complete responses, 2 partial responses). At mean follow-up of 13.9 months (range 5-32 months) 7 patients were alive. Conclusion: The therapeutic regimen appears to be active in the treatment of local recurrences of rectal cancer. Larger-scaled studies are needed to evaluate the potency of hyperthermia in this therapeutic strategy.
