Effect of carvedilol versus placebo on cardiac function in anthracycline-exposed survivors of childhood cancer (PREVENT-HF): a randomised, controlled, phase 2b trial
Summary Carvedilol improves cardiac function in patients with heart failure but remains untested as cardioprotective therapy in long-term childhood cancer survivors (ie, those who have completed treatment for childhood cancer and are in remission) at risk for heart failure due to high-dose anthracycline exposure. We aimed to evaluate the activity and safety of low-dose carvedilol for heart failure risk reduction in childhood cancer survivors at highest risk for heart failure.
Ben Proto: The right pick for state GOP
Republican Party Chairman Benjamin Proto Being a state party chairperson is a difficult, often thankless job, requiring the ability to herd proverbial cats, raise money and always be ready to address the media. It requires the ability to handle criticism, constructive and otherwise, and be able to take a punch and, if necessary, respond in kind. There are many reasons why the Republican Party did the right thing in electing Ben Proto as its new Republican State Chair.
Opinion: Pushing back against gun control arguments Original
Cathy S. Wright May 21, 2021Updated: May 21, 2021 6 a.m. A bullet hole can be seen in the attic window of a house next door to where a shooter fired from a second-floor apartment 241 Main Street in Branford the previous day. Arnold Gold / Hearst Connecticut Media The opinion article by Edward Marcus about the shooting in Branford caught my eye. I was raised in Connecticut, graduated from North Haven High School in 1968, and have many fond memories of my home and surrounding towns.
Opinion: If it can happen in Branford ... Original
I have lived in Branford since 1975 and was shocked by the recent event where an active shooter was holed was up on Main Street above the local hairdresser, across from a shopping center, and next to other well-known Branford landmarks. I recognize that shootings have become a way of life in the United States, but Branford never saw it coming.
Change the Electoral College for good
According to the National Popular Vote organization, in 2016, virtually all general election campaign events were in 12 closely divided states where Trump support was between 43 and 51 percent. The Electoral College is a vestige of the past, still strongly supported by rural, southern agricultural states as a means of having over-weighted influence on presidential elections. Five Presidents have come into office without being supported by a majority of the national popular vote.
Opinion: Trump: What should be done and what can be done
For all rational people who viewed the Trump impeachment trial objectively, there can be no doubt that he is guilty of “high crimes.” Unfortunately, that didn’t matter. With so many Republican senators still in fear of Trump and his supporters, a finding of not guilty was inevitable. Republican claims that the trial was merely retribution staged by Democrats is sadly laughable, especially when considered in light of Trump’s own speeches. Trump’s guilt was obvious.
Connecticut needs a strong two-party system, this Democrat says
J.R. Romano’s recent resignation as the state’s Republican Party chair has brought into focus the need for a viable opposition party in Connecticut. It is not healthy politics when everything is totally controlled by one party: the legislature, the governorship, and most of the major municipalities in our state. The Democrats have more than working control of the legislature and, obviously, have the governor’s office. So, who will have control over the Republican Party in Connecticut?
Opinion: Democrats gain clout in D.C. Original
Congratulations to Rosa DeLauro on her election as chairman of the Appropriations Committee, without doubt the most powerful committee in Congress. There are a number of reasons: she is a long-time good buddy of Speaker Nancy Pelosi; she has always been on the fringe of leadership; her longevity, 36 years in Congress with 36 years of doing favors and accommodating other Congressional people; and, her prodigious fundraising ability.
Opinion: Trump is Mr. Irrelevant now Original
The election is over and we are fortunate to have Joe Biden as our next president. Four years of chaos, corruption and a disturbing reality show are almost behind us. Trump has 70 days, plus or minus, to attempt to wreak more havoc. He must be carefully watched and monitored. There is nothing worse than an unhinged “bull in a China shop.” I previously highlighted how the Electoral College is the vestige of racism protected by the southern states’ senators. The popular vote is the only way to go.

Dying for the Dow
More than 115,000 dead from the coronavirus in America and it is anyone’s guess as to how many more it will take to satisfy the veracious Dow — the Dow Jones stock market index. A strange statement, to be sure. However, it is clear that when the Dow is up President Donald Trump can argue about “his economy.” Without an increasing stock market, reflecting a return to more normal business, Trump is dead in the water. Can anyone be callous enough to trade American lives for a high stock market?

The jury is out, but may be fixed
By this time most of us know that the House of Representatives voted to impeach the President. The U.S. Senate now must act as the jury and decide whether the President is to be acquitted or found guilty on one or both of the counts with which he is charged. The assumption in the Constitution is very clear: The members of the U.S. Senate shall listen to evidence presented and make a decision based solely on the evidence.
