Just saw this Webinar announced. Thought it might be of interest to some. Note that it is sponsored by a pharmaceutical company, so will likely focus on something they have in development. Welcome to this live expert webinar,

Pelabresib May Represent Optimal Partner for JAK Inhibition in Myelofibrosis
The benefits yielded with the BET inhibitor pelabresib (formerly CPI-0610) in patients with myelofibrosis are multifold, and the agent’s potential to improve disease biology and overcome shortcomings faced with JAK inhibitors make it a strong partner for combinations and a stand-out option vs other agents

CLL and Hyperbaric chamber
Hi Diagnosed in 2013 and on W&W but blood tests not so good and expecting to get some sort of treatment soon. Trying out using Hyperbaric Chamber, will do 20 sessions and then drop to 1 per week as advised so will be interesting to compare blood results before and after. Any body had similar experience

The Lambda variant is now in 29 countries, but what evidence do we have that it’s more dangerous?
...........................................A variant of interest is one that has mutations that are predicted or known to affect things such as transmissibility (how easily the virus spreads), severity of disease, ability to evade immunity from past infections or vaccines, or confound diagnostic tests
