Late Cardiac Toxic Effects Associated With Treatment Protocols for Hodgkin Lymphoma in Children
The study evaluates the risk of cardiac toxic effects associated with therapies used in pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) trials. Analyzing data from 2563 patients treated in four consecutive Children's Oncology Group clinical trials between 2002 and 2022, the study finds a decrease in the 30-year cumulative incidence of severe cardiac disease from 10% to 6%. The reduction is attributed to decreased radiation therapy use and increased dexrazoxane cardioprotection, despite higher cumulative doxorubicin doses. The findings suggest that modern HL treatment protocols are associated with a net reduction in late cardiac disease, and recommend refining survivorship follow-up guidelines to align with treatment-associated risks.

I felt his vibration! Sonny Roberts, the UK’s first Black music studio owner
Sonny Roberts, a Jamaican carpenter, transformed a neglected basement in Kilburn, London, into Planetone, the UK's first Black-owned music studio, in the early 1960s. The studio became a haven for West Indian musicians during a time of racial discrimination, fostering a vibrant music community. Roberts' entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to music led to the creation of iconic records and the establishment of Orbitone, a record shop and label. Despite his significant contributions, Roberts remains a relatively obscure figure in British music history. The Nubian Jak Community Trust is honoring his legacy with a blue plaque.

Lyft doesn't mind its drivers earning less and less
Lyft is shifting its pricing policy to end surge pricing, aiming to attract more riders even if it means lower earnings for drivers. Despite a 5% decrease in revenue per driver, the company saw a rise in active riders and quarterly revenue. CEO David Risher believes this strategy will help retain riders, although it contrasts with previous profitability approaches. The move is seen as a way to compete with Uber, but it may lead to unsustainable driver supply as drivers protest low wages and high commission rates.

Serpico (1973)
Serpico (1973) is a gritty film set in New York City, focusing on police corruption within the NYPD. Al Pacino's portrayal of Frank Serpico, a law-abiding but socially dysfunctional officer, is central to the film. Directed by Sidney Lumet, the movie diverges from typical cop films by emphasizing character over action. Despite its fame, the film is critiqued for not delving deeply into Serpico's motivations. It played a significant role in the careers of Pacino and Lumet and remains a notable example of 1970s US cinema, reflecting themes of integrity and systemic corruption.
