According to the FDA, approval was based on findings from the OlympiA phase 3 trial—a randomized, placebo-controlled and international study of 1,836 patients with high-risk early breast cancer who completed local treatment and chemotherapy. Patients were randomly tasked to either take 300 mg of Lynparza tablets by mouth twice a day for 1 year or a placebo. The study, which was published in the New England Journal of Medicine, found those who took Lynparza showed a 42% improvement in invasive disease-free survival versus the placebo group....

Palforzia is for people ages 4 through 17. It must be taken every day, and is not designed as a treatment for emergency events. Rather, it’s intended to make any reactions—including anaphylaxis—less severe if someone with a peanut allergy accidentally consumes peanuts. People talking Palforzia should still avoid peanuts and peanut products. What Does Peanut Allergy Treatment Usually Look Like? Peanut allergies are one of the most prevalent food allergies in the United States, affecting an estimated 2....

While boasting about military flights importing inconsequential amounts of baby formula, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra stated that European baby formula is just as “safe and nutritious” as American baby formula. What he left out is the fact that FDA programs have been banning parents from buying it, even going as far as destroying it at the border, while babies risked starvation and even went to the emergency room....

The FDA originally issued the advisory on November 22 of last year, after an investigation into E. coli outbreaks in 16 states sickened more than 40 people. The common element in those cases was a grower in Salinas. As the investigation continued, the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control began tracking two separate outbreaks, each one involving multiple strains of the bacteria. One outbreak was carried by whole romaine heads, while the other was restricted to salad kits packaged by Fresh Express....

The advice, of course, came fast and furious. Over the weekend, I sifted through a few dozen smart, substantive suggestions, and here’s the most interesting stuff I found: Grab the microphone. This was by far the most common response, and it’s easy to see why. Obama’s at his most Obamaesque when delivering a “Soaring Speech on an Important Subject ®”–see the 2004 Democratic convention, election night in Iowa or his Philadelphia address on race....

A specific phobia is an intense and irrational fear of something that presents no real danger. The fear is typically so strong that a person will take significant action to avoid the trigger of the fear, even if they realize the fear is disproportionate to the situation. Phobias can affect people’s lives in different ways, but there is treatment available. Xenophobia is the fear of and hatred of strangers. This article will not discuss a fear of strangers based on bias....

Ten parents whose kids attend public schools and five parents whose kids attend private schools accused Newsom and other elected officials of stopping their children from receiving a “basic minimum education.” The court documents also state that the parents’ fundamental rights were violated under the Fourteenth Amendment, which guarantees due process of law. The parents also alleged that Newsom and other elected officials violated the Equal Protection Clause by treating their children differently based on those in nearby school districts, childcare and summer camps....

Portland City Commissioner Chloe Eudaly said she had directed the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) to file a cease-and-desist order over the fence last week. The barrier was put up by federal forces around the Mark O. Hatfield United States Courthouse to protect the building, but Eudaly said it is obstructing a portion of SW Third Avenue. The federal government has yet to respond to the demand, she said on Twitter Tuesday....

U.S. District Judge Kristine Baker issued a preliminary injunction preventing enforcement of the law that was set to take effect on July 28 while she hears a challenge to its constitutionality. Baker called the law unconstitutional because it would ban nearly all abortions before a fetus is considered viable outside of the mother’s womb. “Since the record at this stage of the proceedings indicates that women seeking abortions in Arkansas face an imminent threat to their constitutional rights, the Court concludes that they will suffer irreparable harm without injunctive relief,” she wrote....

Liu has also been charged with conspiring to defraud the Department of Defense because he distributed the cards to other reservists who were allegedly looking to evade the military’s vaccine mandate, the release states. Liu was also arrested in October 2021 and charged with four misdemeanors for entering the U.S. Capitol through a broken window during the January 6 riots, the Daily Beast reported. Rodriguez, a nurse in New York, allegedly sold blank vaccination cards to Liu, who the DOJ says then distributed the cards to others for a profit or directed potential buyers back to Rodriguez, according to the DOJ....

While some people with CF can address their nutritional needs with medications such as pancreatic enzyme supplements, others may require a feeding tube. Feeding tubes are a common treatment for malnutrition and can lead to necessary weight gain, improved quality of life, and better lung function. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition that affects the glands that produce mucus and sweat. Mucus is a slippery substance that helps to protect the organs and linings of the lungs and digestive tract....

At the start of the fourth quarter, their game against Tennessee looked to be limping toward a low-scoring finish, with the Gators locked in with Tennessee in a 6-3 defensive slugfest. Of course, the game got a whole lot more exciting afterward in a 26-20 win over the Vols in The Swamp. MORE: Highlights, scores from Florida-Tennessee It all starts (and ends) with this game-ending Hail Mary from Feleipe Franks to Tyrie Cleveland....

Workers at the Parliament were seen erecting fences outside of the building Thursday. More police officers were also seen throughout the area, the Associated Press reported. The increase in preparations comes a day after Ottawa police began issuing leaflets to protesters with an ultimatum: leave immediately or be arrested. “The Ottawa Police Service wants to inform you that under provincial and federal legislation, you will face severe penalties if you do not cease further unlawful activity and remove your vehicle and/or property immediately from all unlawful protest sites,” wrote the police department in a news release directed at protesters....

Emma Spencer, a student at the University of Sydney, set up a range of cameras in the outback alongside a range of animal carcasses to study the progress of their impact upon the area at the Bush Heritage Australia’s Ethabuka Reserve, which stands several hundred miles south of the foot of Mount Isa. She was surprised by what her cameras managed to catch. “We’ve had this one [cat] come in and pretty much take out an entire 30-kilogram kangaroo, eating it all over a number of days,” Ms Spencer said....

The singer, who recently released his new album Superache, sang the song on Monday, July 18, at Major League Baseball’s Home Run Derby at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California. Following his performance, professionals in the industry shared their reactions—which were similar to the ones the Black Eyed Peas alumnus received in 2018 at the NBA All-Star game. “I don’t know who TF Conan Gray is but that was top 5 worst National Anthem renditions I’ve ever heard,” tweeted Patrick Sheldon, co-host of the “Bear Down Chicago” podcast....

In an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Hawks CEO Steve Koonin on Sunday said the team plans to discipline general manager Danny Ferry for a separate “offensive and racist” remark he made during an internal scouting meeting earlier this year. According to Yahoo!’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Hawks held a conference call in early June to discuss free agent options. During that call, Ferry talked about free agent Luol Deng and referred to Deng as still “having some African in him....

Santa won’t be the only one checking and rechecking his list in the weeks ahead. Holiday cheer–not to mention the Dec. 31 deadline for chalking up tax deductions–makes this the homestretch in fund-raisers’ race to meet their annual goals. But all evidence points toward something less than a banner year. Some of this slippage is to be expected: during a recession, charitable donations usually drop by 1.1 percent, according to the American Association of Fundraising Counsel....

Breanna Stewart led the charge with 17 points, eight rebounds and three assists, while A’Ja Wilson added 15 points and 12 rebounds. Kelsey Plum chipped in 14 points off the bench. Team USA made their intentions clear from the jump as they raced out a 15-0 lead in the first five minutes of the game, going into the first break up 27-7. Canada’s seven first-quarter points tied their lowest score in an opening quarter of a World Cup game (seven vs....
