Absolutely practice changing!! One of the most stunning developments in the treatment of patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer !! It is one of the rare moments in oncology which you will always remember ! Like the imatinib, trastuzumab presentations @ASCO#ASCO26@OncoAlert
The breakthrough isn’t the median survival rate doubling, it’s the fact that they’ve finally managed to create a drug that can target the RAS(on) state, rather than selective KRAS mutations. This makes it the first multi selective RAS inhibitor that’s clinically proven to work. The implications are huge. KRAS mutations are found in:
1. 90% of pancreatic cancers
2. 40-50% of colorectal
3. 20-40% lung
4. 19-23% of ALL cancers
Presented at #ASCO26:
Among patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the RAS(ON) inhibitor daraxonrasib led to significantly longer overall survival and progression-free survival than chemotherapy. Full phase 3 RASolute 302 trial results: https://t.co/xwLWBZYRzq

A public interest litigation has been filed in the Supreme Court challenging the new Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) policy mandating the teaching of two compulsory languages for Ninth-grade students.
Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi mentioned the PIL plea before the Supreme Court today, seeking that the PIL plea be heard by the Court soon. The senior lawyer stated that the plea has been filed by students, teachers and parents challenging the new policy CBSE.
"Suddenly, in the 9th standard, two languages have been made compulsory. Very different from what is happening. This will create chaos,” Rohatgi said.
A bench led by CJI Surya Kant has agreed to list the plea to be heard next week.
Three language policy policy has no foresight and no vision the only purpose is to burden a child with extra syllabus.
Children would be learning 3 languages in 9-10th. That's like half of the syllabus, half of their time only to learn languages.
The country doesn't need art graduates, it needs engineers, doctors and scientists.

#CBSE is facing flak over Class 12 marking fiasco. Now it has made #thirdlanguage compulsory for Class 9 students from this academic year. How will it help them in their professional career? Will schools get quality teachers for 3rd language? You are adding to mental stress.
First the NEET paper leak affecting 22 lakh students.
Then CBSE Class 12 students receiving unexpectedly low marks from a broken OSM system - many losing their college eligibility.
Now lakhs of CBSE Class 9 students suddenly asked to learn a new language from July 1, with no teachers, no textbooks, and Class 6 books being handed to 14-year-olds as a “transitional” fix.
Three exams. Three age groups. One Minister.
Dharmendra Pradhan ji has not failed once. He has failed every single age group of India’s students at once.
Every announcement plunges children deeper into uncertainty. Every failure goes unpunished. The Education Ministry has become a department of disasters.
Prime Minister Modi ji - can you at least apologise to the lakhs of children whose futures you and your Minister have destroyed?

A very important Nephrology Image published by us this week in @Kidney_Int on a simple bedside urine dithionite “blue” test which can help early identification of paraquat poisoning where timely diagnosis is life-saving. @md_rupesh@drshyambansal@IPNA_PedNeph@Alanepe1
When we were in MAMC, and throughout my journey in medical colleges in graduation & post graduation there was an unspoken rule that seniors took care of juniors, helping them adjust to the tough life of residency. Senior most always took pride in paying the bill. That was a way of making juniors feel taken care of.
The spirit of medicine should always be supporting those who come after us.
Let’s strive to be the bigger versions of ourselves and the support system our juniors deserve. 🙏🏻

@KailashPRao1@IPNA_PedNeph@IptaPedsTx@rupeshrainamd Well, the suggestion depends on the immunosuppressants child is on. Of course, we encourage healthy eating habits with complete NO to street food, and avoiding Junk food!
A child with nephrotic syndrome brought handwritten “food list” today, asking what he can eat & avoid.
While restrictions r never pleasant, guidance is a must to protect children from unhealthy diet & obesity epidemic
