Abemaciclib plus fulvestrant in treating hormone-receptor positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer—comparing real-world outcomes in England to the MONARCH-2 trial
Abstract Abemaciclib plus fulvestrant was approved in Europe following publication of the MONARCH-2 trial and recommended to enter the NICE Cancer Drugs Fund for HR+/HER2− advanced breast cancer. We aimed to assess MONARCH-2 generalisability to England clinical practice using real-world NHS trust data. We identified patients receiving abemaciclib plus fulvestrant from April to December 2019 in the NHS England Blueteq and Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy data, with follow-up to March 2024.
Can we empirically derive a geographic definition of ‘coastal’ for use in cancer data reporting? An ecological modelling study using England’s national cancer registry
Despite the health of coastal communities in the UK having come under scrutiny and been found lacking in recent years, research into precisely who is disadvantaged, in what ways and through which causal mechanisms has been lacking. The main cause of this deficit in our knowledge, and thus the ability to affect positive change, has hitherto been hampered by the lack of an accepted definition of ‘coastal’ for the purposes of cancer research.
This week in Texas music history: Dallas music variety show ‘Sump’n Else’ debuts in 1965
From KUTX: On September 7, 1965, the Dallas television program Sump’n Else debuted on WFAA. The teen music variety format provided an influential platform for both national and local acts in 1960s rock ‘n’ roll, and Sump’n Else was no different. It had an advantage, in fact, as industry leader Dick Clark’s American Bandstand did not yet air in Dallas. Sump’n Else host Ron Chapman recruited a regular core of high school dancers for the show and broadcast live from the new Northpark Shopping Center.
Logan Mize and Jill Martin: "Wrapped"
In the small riverside town of Clearwater, Kansas, claims to fame are few and far between. Now that’s not a slight on Clearwater; I’m well aware that we can’t all reside someplace with a prestigious nickname like “The Live Music Capital of the World”. But aside from adjacency to the historic Chisholm Trail and producing a couple title-winning supermodels (plus a radiation roboticist), chances are you’d only know Clearwater through rising country star Logan Mize.
Hip Hop’s Holdouts on House Music
Does the act of Beyonce and Drake putting their feet into the house music pool hurt the momentum of hip hop? Confucius & Fresh discuss the implications and ramifications of that argument, then react to Chris Brown’s comment that hip-hop’s dominance has made R&B obsolete.
Brian Wolff: “Motion”
The COVID-19 pandemic has become a major milestone in the way we look at recent times, an unstable start to the 2020s. But of course we can also measure the turn of that decade by looking locally. For the last three quarters of the twenty-teens Austin was home to Fair City Fire, whose masterful heartland rock set the soundtrack for two studio full-lengths, five national tours, and even an official City of Austin declaration of “Fair City Fire Day” on August 31st, 2019.
NOT THE MAIN CHARACTERS: “bad things”
Hyperpop…despite its glittery surface-level sound, it’s decidedly not just a genre for teenage girls. But let’s be honest, it’s primarily produced for and consumed by women of younger generations, so you need to cater directly to that audience.
Matt Koziol: “Loving You Loving Me”
When a player becomes a hot commodity within their musical community, there’s an unsaid understanding that they could probably demolish a solo set all on their own. A perfect example is singer-guitarist Matt Koziol, who’s collaborated with country legends like John Paul White, Abby Anderson, and Jimmie Allen and enjoyed a creative partnership with Bre Kennedy as Koziol Kennedy.
Primo the Alien: “Worlds”
Pop’s a broad spectrum, a mega-genre that pushes the boundaries of modern production but becomes plenty accessible thanks to foolproof earworm formulas. Austin singer-producer Primo the Alien is something of a pop stalwart, with a discography primarily defined by ’80s-style synth-pop. But it’s the 2020s, and Primo’s keen to keep with the times.
Samuel Miamuel: “Beach Dog”
There’s a specific league of creatives (let’s be honest, mainly rappers) who can’t help themselves but keep adopting new semi-official monikers. Then there’s the other extreme of strictly eponymous performers (e.g. the vast majority of country music). So there’s gotta be a sweet spot somewhere in between stage name, nickname, and birth name, right? Enter Long Island-raised singer-guitarist Samuel Kapust, known to his friends as “Sammy Miami” and billed onstage as Samuel Miamuel.
BETWEEN FRIENDS: “laurel”
At the risk of sounding pessimistic, it’s not that often that siblings maintain the closeness of their childhood. But there are obviously exceptions, be they Peyton and Eli Manning, Finneas O’Connell and Billie Eilish, or L.A.’s Brandon and Savannah Hudson. The Hudsons have stayed faithful to their commitment of being best buds, a pact made easier by their creative chemistry.
Urban Heat: “Have You Ever”
Upton Sinclair shocked the world with the harsh, humid realities of city life in his 1906 The Jungle. More than a century later, we understand there was a bit of muckraking embellishment in the novel, but you won’t find any unnecessary exaggeration with Urban Heat. Since 2019 this Austin trio’s captivated metropolitan crowds with their energetic-yet-eerie brand of industrial post-punk and synthwave, a timeless sound perfect for a modern-day version of .
waverly: “every little thing”
Wil Brookhart’s neo-classical background has given him a leg-up on his contemporaries, but it certainly hasn’t defined his sound. Now based in Austin, this Cambodian-born multi-instrumentalist first popped on the radar with his eponymously-released 2019 debut “Warden”, then dove head-first into synth-and-guitar-driven-R&B as producer for Denton’s Carley Bearden, and co-founded the national collaboration Fruit Collective last summer.
Seth Walker: “Remember Me”
Moving to a new city is hard enough as it is, but to do it in the middle of both a break up and a global pandemic? That’s some serous character building. On the other hand, relocation hasn’t been the biggest challenge for singer-songwriter Seth Walker, who recently left Nashville for Asheville but had spent time in NOLA and Austin as well.
Comma K: “Dreams” (feat. Soulbyak)
When you think of the new generation of electronic-based producers, you probably don’t think of high school and college rock bands…but alas, that’s where many cut their teeth. That’s the path Keaton Peters took shortly after picking up the guitar at age 12, all the way until he discovered his love of production once he downloaded Ableton in 2014.
Big Bill: “Almost Everybody”
When artists take a hard left turn from their established sound it can be pretty polarizing. But if they can pull it off without losing too many of their defining characteristics…no harm, no foul, right? We’ve got high hopes for Big Bill, an Austin quartet who’s built a repertoire of quirky, ’80s-style art-punk since 2016.
Otis Wilkins: “Kamakura”
There are a lot of ways to pay tribute to one’s pedigree, but few are quite as charming as keeping a family nickname alive. And in an odd sort of role reversal of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, Austin singer-guitarist Taylor Wilkins re-appropriated his father’s college moniker “Otis” for a pet dog before adopting the handle himself.
Barton Stanley David: “How We Live In Love”
“You can take the boy out of Texas but you can’t take Texas out of the boy”; it’s an old adage consistently weighted in truth. Fifth generation Texan Barton Stanley David is a prime piece of evidence, considering he moved back to Dallas in 2019 following a decade in New York City. After that, it didn’t take long for David to cross paths with producer Jeff Saenz, who’d already worked with Leon Bridges and Paul Cauthen and established a reputation through Modern Electric Sound Recorders.
Golden Hornet: “Bless Isomer”
Although we’ve had clearly defined political boundaries since 1836, there’s still an inseparable culture between Texas and Mexico. Whether you call it Tejano or Texican, it’s a give-and-take social process within which Austin’s Graham Reynolds has found a golden opportunity.
Monsoon: “Don’t Move”
Back in the ’80s, groups like R.E.M., The B-52’s, and Widespread Panic turned the quiet college town of Athens, Georgia into a hub of alternative music, a legacy that’s since continued with of Montreal, Drive-By Truckers, and Neutral Milk Hotel. That spirit of indie culture is still alive and well today, as made clear by groups like Monsoon.
Taylor Rae: “Never Gonna Do”
The vast majority of musical artists are plagued by their influences; either there’s a huge disparity between their sound and that of their role models, or its a cookie-cutter copy of their sound. But when you end up with something new that still has subtle hints of those inspirations…that’s what separates the milquetoast many from the truly talented. Take a listen to Taylor Rae, whose inspirations include Steely Dan, Bonnie Raitt, Simon & Garfunkel, Carole King, Jewel, and Sheryl Crow.
PM Warson: “(Don’t) Hold Me Down”
Englanders raised after the tides of New Wave had waned and while the turn-of-the-millennium indie rock boom began to quiet down might’ve gravitated more towards the music of the midcentury. That’s exactly what happened with singer-guitarist PM Warson, who, after a stint as a full-time touring musician, has since settled nicely into a ’50s/’60s R&B-soul aesthetic.
Robin Mordecai: “Caroline”
It’s been three quarters of a decade since Austin songwriter Robin Mordecai shared his last EP Here Goes Something, but fortunately for us he’s finally got another album coming out this weekend. True to its title, Portraits features five succinct snapshots of fictional personalities anchored in ’70s/’80s-style pop rock, not unlike The Cars or Tom Petty.
Geoff Bradford: “UFOs”
Although our neighbors in New Mexico get a lot of alien-centric attention thanks to Roswell, the mystique of the “Marfa Lights” has made Texas a destination for extraterrestrial enthusiasts. And when it comes to “visitors” here on Earth, singer-bassist Geoff Bradford definitely qualifies; with a youth divided between New York City, Western Europe, West Africa, and South America and an ongoing love of travel, Bradford has a knack for making contact.
Stimulus Check Of Boston Marathon Bomber To Be Used For Paying Victims
The District Court, Boston passed an order asking the Bureau of prisons to turn over the stimulus check of Marathon Bomber in Boston. So, the relief payment for Covid-19, i.e., $1400 of Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev received in June along with other funds, will be held in the inmate trust. It will be used for paying the outstanding victims’ payments according to the documents of courts, as per CBS News. What did Tsarnaev do? Tsarnaev is a 28-year-old male who is currently serving.
