Assessing hemorrhagic risks in combination therapy: implications of angiogenesis inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors by Yuhui Yang, Yuhui Yang, Yuhui Yang, Pingping Long, Pingping Long, Ying Tuo, Ying Tuo, Xiaoxiao Wang

“…In the combination group, esophageal variceal hemorrhage (ROR 40.72, PRR 2344.72) and tumor hemorrhage (ROR 19.31, PRR 1056.63) exhibited significantly increased risks Additive and multiplicative models indicated that the excess risk (RDAB = 0.01025, P<0.001) and relative risk (RRAB = 1.99277, P<0.001) of combination therapy were significantly higher than those of monotherapy, suggesting a positive interaction between the drugs that further increases the risk of hemorrhage.ConclusionOur study demonstrates that the combination of AGIs and ICIs significantly raises the risk of hemorrhage, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced monitoring protocols in clinical practice to improve treatment efficacy and safety.…”

Control over biopower in cognitive and surveillance capitalism by Stanković-Pejnović Vesna

“…It is ubiquitous, sensate, computational, and global and it is designed so that all human activity, from the most banal to the boldest, can be monitored, measured, and modified for the purposes of surveillance capitalism This capacity to "shape human behavior", gives rise to what Zuboff calls "instrumentarian power" This is not dissimilar to forms of governmentality described by Foucault, because its goal is not just the "conduct of conduct" rather it is to turn people themselves into highly predictable instruments of political or material consumption. …”
