1. The Ideas Of Crowds.
Electoral Crowds
The Morality Of Crowds.
When studying the fundamental characteristics of a crowd we
stated that it is guided almost exclusively by unconscious
motives. Its acts are far more under the influence of the spinal
cord than of the brain. In this respect a crowd is closely akin
to quite primitive beings. The acts performed may be perfect so
far as their execution is concerned, but as they are not directed
by the brain, the individual conducts himself according as the
exciting causes to which he is submitted may happen to decide. A
crowd is at the mercy of all external exciting causes, and
reflects their incessant variations. It is the slave of the
impulses which it receives. The isolated individual may be
submitted to the same exciting causes as the man in a crowd, but
as his brain shows him the inadvisability of yielding to them, he
refrains from yielding. This truth may be physiologically
expressed by saying that the isolated individual possesses the
capacity of dominating his reflex actions, while a crowd is
devoid of this capacity.
The varying impulses to which crowds obey may be, according to
their exciting causes, generous or cruel, heroic or cowardly, but
they will always be so imperious that the interest of the
individual, even the interest of self-preservation, will not
dominate them. The exciting causes that may act on crowds being
so varied, and crowds always obeying them, crowds are in
consequence extremely mobile. This explains how it is that we
see them pass in a moment from the most bloodthirsty ferocity to
the most extreme generosity and heroism. A crowd may easily
enact the part of an executioner, but not less easily that of a
martyr. It is crowds that have furnished the torrents of blood
requisite for the triumph of every belief. It is not necessary
to go back to the heroic ages to see what crowds are capable of
in this latter direction. They are never sparing of their life
in an insurrection, and not long since a general,[2] becoming
suddenly popular, might easily have found a hundred thousand men
ready to sacrifice their lives for his cause had he demanded it.
Any display of premeditation by crowds is in consequence out of
the question. They may be animated in succession by the most
contrary sentiments, but they will always be under the influence
of the exciting causes of the moment. They are like the leaves
which a tempest whirls up and scatters in every direction and
then allows to fall. When studying later on certain
revolutionary crowds we shall give some examples of the
variability of their sentiments.
This mobility of crowds renders them very difficult to govern,
especially when a measure of public authority has fallen into
their hands. Did not the necessities of everyday life constitute
a sort of invisible regulator of existence, it would scarcely be
possible for democracies to last. Still, though the wishes of
crowds are frenzied they are not durable. Crowds are as
incapable of willing as of thinking for any length of time.
A crowd is not merely impulsive and mobile. Like a savage, it is
not prepared to admit that anything can come between its desire
and the realisation of its desire. It is the less capable of
understanding such an intervention, in consequence of the feeling
of irresistible power given it by its numerical strength. The
notion of impossibility disappears for the individual in a crowd.
An isolated individual knows well enough that alone he cannot set
fire to a palace or loot a shop, and should he be tempted to do
so, he will easily resist the temptation. Making part of a
crowd, he is conscious of the power given him by number, and it
is sufficient to suggest to him ideas of murder or pillage for
him to yield immediately to temptation. An unexpected obstacle
will be destroyed with frenzied rage. Did the human organism
allow of the perpetuity of furious passion, it might be said that
the normal condition of a crowd baulked in its wishes is just
such a state of furious passion.
The fundamental characteristics of the race, which constitute the
unvarying source from which all our sentiments spring, always
exert an influence on the irritability of crowds, their
impulsiveness and their mobility, as on all the popular
sentiments we shall have to study. All crowds are doubtless
always irritable and impulsive, but with great variations of
degree. For instance, the difference between a Latin and an
Anglo-Saxon crowd is striking. The most recent facts in French
history throw a vivid light on this point. The mere publication,
twenty-five years ago, of a telegram, relating an insult supposed
to have been offered an ambassador, was sufficient to determine
an explosion of fury, whence followed immediately a terrible war.
Some years later the telegraphic announcement of an insignificant
reverse at Langson provoked a fresh explosion which brought about
the instantaneous overthrow of the government. At the same
moment a much more serious reverse undergone by the English
expedition to Khartoum produced only a slight emotion in England,
and no ministry was overturned. Crowds are everywhere
distinguished by feminine characteristics, but Latin crowds are
the most feminine of all. Whoever trusts in them may rapidly
attain a lofty destiny, but to do so is to be perpetually
skirting the brink of a Tarpeian rock, with the certainty of one
day being precipitated from it.

Loop fusion is a type of programming technique that combines two or more loops into one, complying with principles of programming efficiency or compiler optimization.
Loop fusion is also known as loop jamming.
The idea of putting multiple loops into one loop is discussed differently by different tech experts. Developers and others may refer to improving efficiency or "reducing loop overhead" or making computer programs faster to execute.
Loop fusion can improve the readability of code, and in some cases, it can make programs faster. However, experts point out that in some cases, loop fusion can actually make programs go slower. For example, if the two variables involved in the two loops are located in different places in computer memory, combining those two goods can make the program lose data localization and may not be ultimately efficient. Where the memory for the two loop processes meet certain criteria, loop fusion is a useful technique.
The opposite of loop fusion is loop fission, where one loop can be split in two. This technique can also be useful in some circumstances.

Recently, during a phone conversation with my boyfriend, he told me that he turned the volume up on his phone. Soon after, he began to masturbate, while he was talking. I am well aware of phone sex, but the conversation never came up. I had no idea what to say to him. It was very loud and there was no mistaking those sounds. Should I confront him or let it go? Do many men find this satisfying? He complains about not being able to sleep. Could this have something to do with this?
Dear Reader,
It's understandable you had no idea what to say, your boyfriend decided to "let his fingers do the talking" during your conversation! Whether the sound of your voice turned him on or he was using masturbation as soporific stimulation, your boyfriend should have asked for your consent before relishing his hot dog with you as his audience. You could use this opportunity to decide what role — if any — phone sex could have in your relationship. Many women and men, couples and singles, find phone sex satisfying — even relationship-saving when partners are geographically separated. Others are not interested in phone sex.
You don't have to wait until the next chicken-choking conversation to bring it up. Here are some questions to consider when talking to your boyfriend. Does the idea of phone sex appeal to you? Have you ever wished your phone was "on vibrate" while you talked to your boyfriend? What would you want him to say? What would he like you to say while he's having solo sex during your call? Could you use phone sex as a way to bring up fantasies you might be embarrassed to talk about in person? Would phone sex relieve sexual tension and create intimacy while you're apart? Could it heighten your desire for each other until the next time you're together? Having this conversation with your boyfriend can help you make sure you're on the same page.
If his spontaneous spanking offended you, it would be appropriate to let him know, especially if you hope it won't happen again. Or maybe he simply had bad timing, initiating his session while you were talking about something important. If that's the case, maybe the two of you can agree to a signal or word to use when you're ready for some tele-fun. Phone sex can be a normal and healthy part of a relationship, if you're both into it.
Happy speed dialing!Alice!

An oasis in the Bay Area, Alamo has maintained the County's General Plan for parcel lots of a one-half acre or more which creates a unique community in the Bay Area — tree-canopied two-lane roads, large lots, generous views of open space, and a distinct downtown with local businesses that cater to local needs. The resident's priority of tree preservation helped transform this once agricultural area into a true jewel with a population of under 15,000.
Alamo was named by the Spanish in 1850 for the poplar trees that lined San Ramon Creek. Walnut Creek lies to the north, Danville, Dublin, and San Ramon to the south. Las Trampas Regional Wilderness is a 5,342-acre park located to the immediate southwest of the town. The wilderness contains forested hillsides, riparian woods and several secluded waterfalls and offers many recreational opportunities.

It comes attached to a gift card and comes with a care instruction card.
As with any silver plated jewellery it may tarnish, so a simple clean with silver polish will keep it shiny.

"There's no obstacle you can't clear by putting your boot into the throttle and jerking the steering wheel around a little," said the pilot of this K5 Chevy Blazer monster truck, probably.
Also, wherever this Spring Break-style "motorsports event" goes down it looks like a fucking riot and I want to go.
The truck is described only as a "monster" on 66" flotation tires. It also looks like some kind of supplemental cooling system has been fitted in place of the rear tailgate, which I thought was a pair of subwoofers at first.
There's some kind of oddly peaceful beauty to the way the mud flows over the wheels when they finally slow down around three minutes in. Other than that, I can't believe I'm saying this but it's nice to see a truck with this level of modification actually getting used for its "intended purpose."

7 tips for building a garden-friendly chicken coopTuesday, July 15th, 2014
In the urban or suburban garden, limited space, pests, wary neighbors, and the like can make the idea of keeping chickens seem like more hassle than it's worth. But by designing and building the right kind of coop, you can quickly get past these hurdles and add a whole new dimension to your garden.
Here are seven tips to put your coop project on the right path. . . .
1. Let it breathe.
A well-ventilated chicken coop helps keep your hens from suffering and your neighbors from complaining. Of course, you do need to stay ahead of any odors, making sure you balance out their poop with plenty of high-carbon bedding like straw, wood shavings, leaves, or shredded paper. We use the deep-litter method and continue to add straw as the chickens add droppings. This mixture begins to compost in place, and the volume builds only slowly. From time to time we move it all to a compost bin to finish doing its thing, then incorporate the rich fertilizer into the garden.
NOTE: The pictures in this post feature coops built by us and by customers of our chicken coop plans. Click on them to learn more about each DIY chicken coop build.

Make It Your Own: Merri-Lynn's Colorful Garden Coop, Kingston Springs, TennesseeTuesday, July 5th, 2011
Merri-Lynn sent in this picture of her Garden Coop build in Tennessee. She worked on it with her daughter, who, as a big Hannah Montana fan, insisted on a bright color scheme. Merri-Lynn wrote:
We couldn't be more proud of the way it turned out. It took a number of weekends to complete as we had to wait for additional hands for a few of the steps, but for the most part we completed it ourselves. The directions were easy to follow, and I would recommend that anyone can take on this project. Our chickens love their new home — color and all!

How to build external nest boxes for your chicken coopThursday, March 10th, 2011
Whether you're building The Garden Coop, The Garden Loft, The Garden Ark, The Basic Coop, or pretty much any other chicken coop, the instructions that follow will show you in detail how to add external nesting boxes to your coop.
First, a little background. I designed our chicken coops to make efficient use of space, be easy to build, and to have everything under one roof — including the nesting boxes. Personally, I prefer the simplicity of having the boxes in the henhouse, and it has worked well for us and many others for years.
So if you're new to chicken keeping or coop building, please do not feel as though you have to add exterior nest boxes to your coop.
That said, there's something about external nesting boxes that just captures the fancy of backyard chicken keepers. . . . (more…)

Make It Your Own: Lila K.'s Texas Garden CoopTuesday, September 21st, 2010
Lila K. and her husband live on the Gulf Coastal Plain of Texas. This is their chicken coop, built using The Garden Coop chicken coop design plans. It's remarkable, not only for what you can see, but also for what you can't. At least, not unless you're looking for it.
The Garden Coop chicken coop design plan calls for a pier-on-grade foundation that works well just about anywhere. But if you need to adapt the design to suit local building codes or seasonal weather events, it's quite flexible. Lila chose to modify the design by setting 4×4 posts at each corner of the coop and securing the frame to those.
Her primary reason for adapting the design was to give even more stability to their chicken coop, anchoring it firmly should it be buffeted by treacherous Gulf Coast weather. Aesthetically, Lila also liked the beefier look the posts gave to the frame.
She paid great attention to other details as well. She added a small window on the front, and she painted the trim, door stops, and roof structure a light green color that stands out against the natural wood tone of the frame. By doing this, she created really nice outlines that give her chicken coop a smart, finished look.
Make It Your Own: Lubosh Cech's Hen TempleMonday, August 30th, 2010
When Portland designer, filmmaker, and photographer Lubosh Cech was ready to build his own chicken coop, he wanted it to be a work of art. The Garden Coop chicken coop plans turned out to be the perfect place to start. Lubosh told us recently about the modifications he made to the design and how he gave his backyard coop an artful, personal touch:
Thank you for the plans! This was a fun project, and it successfully distracted me from my work for most of the month.
Because of the space limitations, I had to shorten the design and push the structure all the way to the corner of the yard. In addition to buying new lumber, I reused wood and other materials that cluttered my basement shop. Half of the paint I used is 100% recycled latex from Metro.
To make the structure more fun, I painted the Buddha on the front panel of the henhouse and decorated the roof with the Tibetan prayer flags. The Buddha is holding a golden egg over the nesting box access door.
Coincidentally, my three chicks moved in on July 6th, the Dalai Lama's 75th birthday!
Here are a few more pictures of the Hen Temple. (more…)

Minotaur Rocket
Under the U.S. Air Force Orbital/Suborbital Program-3 (OSP-3) contract, Northrop Grumman integrates, tests and provides space launch services for the Minotaur I, IV, V, VI and C family of rockets.
Under the U.S. Air Force Orbital/Suborbital Program-3 (OSP-3) contract, Northrop Grumman integrates, tests and provides space launch services for the Minotaur I, IV, V, VI and C family of rockets.
Employing a combination of U.S. government-supplied rocket motors and the company's proven commercial launch technologies, the Minotaur rocket family provides low-cost and reliable access to space for government-sponsored payloads. To date, our Minotaur rockets have completed 26 missions out of every major U.S. spaceport with 100% success, demonstrating the vehicle's unique versatility and reliability.
Minotaur I
Minotaur I is a four-stage solid fuel space launch vehicle utilizing Minuteman rocket motors for its first and second stages, reusing motors that have been decommissioned as a result of arms reduction treaties. The Minotaur's third and fourth stages, structures, and payload fairing are common with our highly reliable Pegasus XL rocket and feature flight proven avionics systems. Minotaur I is capable of launching payloads up to 580 kg (1,278 lbs) into low Earth Orbit. To date, Minotaur I has conducted 11 missions with a 100% success rate, delivering 62 satellites into orbit.
Minotaur IV, V, and VI
The Minotaur IV, V, and VI space launch vehicles leverage the flight-proven heritage of the Minotaur I, Pegasus, and Taurus space launch vehicles to provide an extremely cost-effective and capable space launch solution. Minotaur IV, which utilizes three government-furnished solid rocket motors from decommissioned Peacekeeper ICBMs and a commercial solid rocket upper stage, is capable of launching payloads up to 1,730 kg (3,814 lb.) to low Earth orbit. Minotaur V is an evolutionary version of Minotaur IV incorporating common structures with relatively minor changes to add a fifth stage. Minotaur V provides an extremely cost-effective capability to launch small spacecraft into high energy trajectories for geosynchronous Earth orbit and lunar missions. Minotaur VI builds on the flight-proven Minotaur IV vehicle adding a second Peacekeeper lower stage to create a five stage rocket capable of boosting payloads up to 3,100 kg (6,900 lb.) to low Earth orbit.
The Minotaur-C space launch vehicle is a variant of the Minotaur product line designed to support commercial, international and U.S. government and customers. Minotaur-C employs four Northrop Grumman solid rocket motors as its propulsion system, all of which have been flown dozens of times and are thoroughly flight-proven in various combinations on the company's other small space launch vehicles, including Pegasus, Taurus and Minotaur, as well as on the Orbital Boost Vehicle (OBV) long-range missile defense interceptor. It also incorporates numerous design features that are common with the Minotaur product line, such as the rocket's electrical power system, payload fairing, flight termination system, navigation sensors and RF components.

Aside from all the fan-pleasing stuff perhaps what's most interesting is his belief that after years in development hell, the Deadpool solo movie will be "released within six months to a year" of X-Force.
X-Men: Days Of Future Past is released on 18 July 2014. You can buy X-Men: The Ultimate Collection on Blu-ray for £26.24 at Amazon.co.uk.

What to Do Before Getting to an Emergency Dentist in Panama City, FL
A dental crisis can happen when it's least anticipated. When a dental emergency occurs, it's imperative to see an Emergency Dentist in Panama City FL, right away. The actions a person takes before this can lessen or eliminate pain due to the dental crisis. These actions can also help prevent permanent damage to the dental structure. The following suggestions can help with this task.
A person has a favorable chance of saving a knocked-out tooth if dental treatment is received within 30 minutes to one hour of the accident. To properly manage the emergency, a person should pick the tooth up by its crown. The crown is the visible part above the gumline. Care should be taken not to touch any dental tissue dangling from the tooth. The affected tooth should be rinsed under a warm stream of water. Saline can also be used to rinse dirt and debris off the tooth. The tooth should be placed back into its original position when possible. This should not be done forcefully. When a knocked-out tooth won't go back into its socket easily, it should be placed in a container to soak in milk. Over-the-counter pain relievers can be used to alleviate or eliminate pain.
When a tooth cracks, it's necessary to see an Emergency Dentist in Panama City FL, promptly. A dental patient should make an appointment for dental treatment when this occurs. Until then, a person should rinse his mouth out with warm water. It's advisable for a person to tilt his head from side to side for the water to reach all areas. The force of swishing water around the mouth can cause further damage to the influenced tooth. Applying a cold compress outside the mouth over the injury site along with taking an over-the-counter pain medication can reduce pain.
The two main goals of using these suggestions are to minimize pain and reduce the loss of dental structure. With proper action and hurried dental treatment, a person has a good chance of restoring good dental health to a tooth. For more information on dental emergencies and other dental services, discover more info here on the website of Personal Attention Dental Center. This practice can handle many services, including family dentistry, extractions, and root canals.

Men, women and children from the Sealed Knot Society got down and dirty in the annual Holly Holy Day battle re-enactment in Nantwich. Swords were waved and guns fired to mark the anniversary of the end of the siege of the town during the English Civil War in 1644.
Alongside various events in the town square, including performances from Nantwich Players Theatre, Morris dancers and Nantwich Young Voices, the Sealed Knot troops paraded along Welsh Row before laying a wreath at the war memorial. The re-enactment of the battle then took place on Mill Island.
The Sealed Knot's PR director, Rusty AldwinckleSome, said: 'Some old hands had only missed one or two of these events since it started, for others it was their first time. For one first timer he was astounded by the support the entire town gave the Sealed Knot. Crowds once again lined the streets and applauded as the society marched past.'

Chip Ganassi Racing Teams driver and Nazareth native Sage Karam thought that Indianapolis 500 winners Dario Franchitti, Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan chipped in to have his black Chevrolet Camaro detailed as a gesture of team spirit.
He should've known better.
It returned pink May 18 with large No. 8 decals on the doors, a "Karamo" decal across the top of the windshield, pink fuzzy dice hanging from the rearview mirror and a "Honk if you think I'm sexy" decal across the rear window.
Now that's detailing.
"There are so many positives about being a rookie on a team with veterans like Dario Franchitti, Tony Kanaan, and Scott Dixon, but I've got to say that the pranks are definitely not one of those positives," the 20-year-old Karam said.
"I should've never let TK take my car to get detailed. They got me for sure with this one. The worst part is that the boss (Chip Ganassi) is saying that I have to drive it around for the rest of May. I guess I'm just going to have to own a hot pink Camaro."
Franchitti, a team consultant who has been Karam's driver coach this season, explained it away as a mix-up at the shop between two black Camaros.

- Kristen Clarke: High court ruling on Voting Rights Act has harsh repercussions for 2016
- Voting rights advocates play "Whac-a-mole" with suppressive state measures, she says
Kristen Clarke is president and executive director of the national Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, which leads the Election Protection program and 866-OUR-VOTE hotline for voters. The views expressed in this commentary are hers.
(CNN)While some Americans are already posting selfies online with "I Voted" stickers from early voting, too many more may find it difficult to exercise their rights at the polls November 8. Americans should be on the lookout for violations of voters' rights next week, now that the US Supreme Court has stripped away many of the protections of the Voting Rights Act. Local officials in a number of states have already taken steps that could well discourage or outright suppress voting across the country.

Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the United States, and if projections from the World Health Organization are correct about a nearly 60% increase in cancer incidence rates over the next two decades, it could become the leading cause of death (surpassing heart disease) soon enough.
Treatment is the biggest challenge
A number of cancer types have yielded strong improvements in survival over the past three decades. In select cancer types, researchers have established a stranglehold on the risk factors and pathways by which they operate, leading to more effective treatments and people paying heed to avoid high-risk factors when applicable.
For example, five-year survival rates for breast cancer and prostate cancer, two cancers that account for close to 30% of all cancer diagnoses in the U.S. per year, have improved to 90% and essentially 100%, respectively, after clocking in at 75% and 68% in the 1975-1977 timeframe, based on data from the American Cancer Society.
One of the biggest challenges that remains when treating cancer, especially metastatic cancer that has spread throughout the body, is how to effectively target tumors while causing as little damage to healthy cells as possible. Global chemotherapy treatments, which are often administered through IV or as a pill, do slow tumor growth, but they also make patients sick because they interfere with healthy cell reproduction too. Thus, physicians are constantly struggling between wanting to use a combination of chemotherapy agents that would likely be effective against a certain type of tumor, and the patient being unable to receive a global chemotherapy treatment because few people with metastatic disease are capable of dealing with the nasty side effects of global chemotherapy treatment.
But, the good news, in case you missed it this past week, is that researchers at Virginia Tech may have devised a completely new method of delivering chemotherapy to cancer patients with solid tumors that could significantly reduce healthy cell death and pack more of a punch to the tumor.
An entirely new way to dose cancer patients
According to a study published in Science Translational Medicine by lead author James Byrne and his team of some two dozen study contributors, a new process known as iontophoretic delivery could be the key to focusing chemotherapy agents toward tumors and away from healthy cells.
Instead of delivering chemotherapy via IV or pill, researchers developed a device, complete with a chemotherapy reservoir of Gemzar, which was implanted directly into a tumor. Then, the device was turned on and stimulated using an electric field, causing the chemotherapy to leave its reservoir and focus on the tumor.
In its study, Virginia Tech researchers used three mouse models: one model implanted with human pancreatic cancer, and the other two with aggressive forms of breast cancer. Additionally, one canine model was assessed.
In the pancreatic cancer model, mice treated with the device that received Gemzar bi-weekly saw a mean log reduction in tumor volume compared to an increase for mice solely given Gemzar, or put on an IV saline solution. Similar results were observed in the breast cancer studies, with co-administration of cisplatin therapy in addition to the device doubling survival. Researchers note that when radiation therapy was added, survival was even further extended. Lastly, when Gemzar was delivered via device in canines, local drug concentrations in the tumor were sevenfold higher than if administered by an IV, while systemic drug levels of Gemzar were 25 times lower.
The English translation of the data above is this: The ionophoretic delivery device increased chemotherapy delivery to tumors, it decreased chemotherapy levels found throughout the rest of the body (the undesired target area), and it helped improve survival when combined with current standards of care, including chemotherapy and/or radiation.
Focused therapies are on the way
For anyone with cancer, advanced disease or not, this is potentially game-changing news. But, there are also a number of tumor-focused therapies already on the market or working their way through clinical trials that could soon make a genuine difference in cancer patients' quality of life.
I can think of three pathways in particular targeted at reducing healthy cell death and increasing chemotherapy dosing directly to tumors. These include antibody-drug conjugates, hypoxic-targeting drugs, and cancer immunotherapies.
Antibody-drug conjugates
Antibody-drug conjugates, or ADCs, use special linking technology to attach a chemotherapy toxin to an antibody. These antibodies then seek out cancer cells and release the toxin once they come into contact with a specific protein signature given off by cancer cells. Perhaps the most well-known ADC compound is ImmunoGen's (NASDAQ:IMGN) and Roche's (OTC:RHHBY) Kadcyla.
Kadcyla is currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a second-line treatment for HER2-positive late-stage breast cancer. In the clinical studies that led to its approval, Kadcyla improved median progression-free survival (i.e., stable disease) to 9.6 months from 6.4 months and boosted median overall survival by 5.8 months to 30.9 months.
It's worth noting, though, that Kadcyla also had a recent setback in its MARIANNE study. Kadcyla performed on par in terms of median progression-free survival with the control combo of Herceptin and a taxane chemotherapy in first-line indications when Wall Street was clearly looking for a statistical advantage for Kadcyla. Chances are still good that Kadcyla will be a critical cancer-fighting drug for years to come.
Hypoxia drugs
Hypoxia-targeting drugs are another unique therapy currently working their way through clinical studies.
Generally, when healthy cells are formed, blood vessel growth can keep pace, leaving everything in a sort of harmony. However, since tumor growth occurs without rhyme or reason, it can occasionally outpace blood vessel growth, leaving certain regions of a tumor starved for oxygen, or hypoxic. Hypoxia-targeted drugs focus in on these low-oxygen regions and attack. Because hypoxia is rarely witnessed in healthy cells, it should result in minimal healthy cell death.
The name to watch here is Threshold Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: THLD) and its lead hypoxia compound TH-302. It's currently being examined in 10 clinical studies (mostly early stage) with the three most intriguing being a mid-stage study for non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer, a late-stage study for soft tissue sarcoma, and the MAESTRO trial examining TH-302 in combination with Gemzar as a treatment for pancreatic cancer. This last study is particularly critical as pancreatic cancer has few effective treatment options.
Cancer immunotherapies
Lastly, drug developers are working on a new class of drug that looks to enhance the body's immune system so it can better recognize and fight cancer.
One of the reasons cancer is so difficult to kill is that it has developed an effective mechanism to hide itself from the immune system. A late-stage drug known as bavituximab being developed by Peregrine Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: PPHM) is looking to change that.
Peregrine's bavituximab is a phosphatidylserine (PS)-targeting monoclonal antibody that's looking to turn the tables on non-small cell lung cancer in a trial as a second-line treatment. Generally, healthy cells express PS on the inside of their cellular wall, protecting them from the body's immune system. However, this immunosuppressive molecule is found on the outside of cancer cells and protects the cancer cell from attack by the immune system. Bavituximab aims to block this immunosuppressive response and allow the immune system to do its work.
Although Peregrine's midstage study wasn't without a lot of unneeded drama, bavituximab led to a median overall survival of 11.7 months in phase 2 trials compared to just 7.3 months for the docetaxel control group.
Headed in the right direction
Between the findings by researchers at Virginia Tech and the aforementioned three pathways, it's apparent we're on the right path to improving patient quality of life and, hopefully, survival. I look forward to ongoing research that looks at new ways to deliver chemotherapy in a safer and more directed manner, and to the development of new treatments that extend patients' lives.
