Clinical trial sees rectal cancer in remission for all participants – The Jerusalem Post

A small clinical trial in New York City sent rectal cancer into remission for every patient that was involved by using a unique immunotherapeutic treatment.

The trial, which was later published as a paper on Sunday in the New England Journal of Medicine, gave all the patients involved the immunotherapy treatment “Dostarlimab” – which then stunned doctors as it returned a 100% success rate for all patients in clinical trials. The immunotherapy had shrunk the tumors the patients had much quicker than the medical professionals were expecting.

COVID-19 on the rise in Israel again? Fifth jab being considered – The Jerusalem Post

COVID-19 caused 62% of duty-related deaths of US police officers in the first year of the pandemic—a rate that rose to 77% to 82% among minority officers—according to a new study published in Policing: An International Journal.

FDA advisers recommend Novavax COVID vaccine for emergency use | CIDRAP

If the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepts the group’s recommendation and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advisers recommend it, Novavax would give the United States a fourth vaccine to battle the virus. The Novavax vaccine is already approved for emergency use in other countries, and US officials hope that a vaccine made with a more traditional process might sway some who have been hesitant to be immunized against COVID-19.
