Panel A: The weekly Gravitrap Aedes aegypti index (GAI), which measures the abundance of adult A. aegypti mosquitoes, in the intervention and control clusters before and during the release of wolbachia-infected male mosquitoes.
Panel B: A spatial visualization of the intervention (red) and control (teal) clusters.
In this report from Singapore, the release of wolbachia-infected, irradiated male 𝘈𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘦𝘨𝘺𝘱𝘵𝘪 mosquitoes resulted in a reduction in the vector population and in the risk of dengue infection. Full report: nej.md/4atd2iN

🫁 SKYSCRAPER-03 (Stage III NSCLC): Atezo+tira fails to beat durva after cCRT → durvalumab remains #standard.
MDT-BRIDGE (neo-IO NSCLC): High resection (85.7%) and R0 rates with close MDT guidance → more patients reach curative local #therapy.

#radonc Highlights from the last 24 hours at ESMO #Berlin 🚀
🌰ENZARAD (high-risk PCa): No overall MFS benefit with ENZA, but clear gains in cN1 & pelvic-RT subgroups.Selective intensification may matter
EMBARK (hrBCR PCa): Enza + ADT cuts mortality risk by ~40% vs ADT alone → a new standard of care

Figure. Addition of local consolidative therapy to osimertinib improved PFS versus osimertinib alone in patients with EGFR-mutated metastatic NSCLC in the NorthStar trial (ESMO Congress 2025, LBA72)
👇NorthStar trial - #ESMO highlight 17.10.
🧠 LCT improved PFS across subgroups
🌐 Even with >3 mets (20.7 vs 15.9 mo)
🧬 EGFR ex19del: 39.8 vs 22.8 mo
🔬 L858Rmut: 19.1 vs 11.0 mo
💪 Comprehensive vs partial LCT: 33.1 vs 15.1 mo
