Repurposed drug may extend survival in aggressive ovarian cancer, trial shows Relacorilant, typically used to treat Cushing’s syndrome, could improve outcomes in platinum-resistant cases A drug originally used to treat a rare disease could extend the lives of patients with an aggressive form of ovarian cancer, according to a clinical trial. Platinum-resistant ovarian cancer occurs when the disease progresses within six months of starting platinum-based chemotherapy. This form of chemotherapy is different from other types because it uses compounds that contain platinum to destroy cancer cells by preventing them from dividing. Continue reading...

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office.

The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

Always Second Best (Or Worst): Characterizing Hektor in Iliad 17 One of the things I emphasized in my first post on Iliad 17is the book’s overlapping functions. On the one hand, it creates narrative suspense by forestalling the news of Patroklos getting to Achil…

"The tension between what we expect from Hektor and what he accomplishes forces us to come up with explanations, causes. We strain to make sense of inexplicable actions. But Hektor is straining too, against a world whose rules are unacceptable. "

This gilded cartonnage, or mummy case, made from layers of linen and plaster, once covered the head and chest of a mummified woman. She wears a draped garment pulled over her head in a veil in Roman style, and wears an elaborate Roman style coiffure. Her fringed shawl or himation is tied at her breast in the style of devotees and priestesses of the Egyptian goddess Isis, and she is adorned with earrings, necklaces (formerly inlaid with glass, faience, and/or semiprecious stones throughout), and snake bracelets and armlets. The flowers and wheat in her hands also connect her to the goddess Isis, while the use of gold links her to the sun's daily rebirth - the gods themselves were said to have gold skin. She stares out at us with inlaid eyes of opaque colored glass; the dramatic lining of her eyes and her eyebrows are made with blue faience, imitating lapis lazuli. The front is mostly gilded, but the rose petal funerary wreath in her hand and the sides of her head are painted.

Her hairstyle is also a mix of Roman and Egyptian elements. It's basically a Trajanic style, but the curls framing her face and corkscrew locks above her ears are in accordance with an Romano-Egyptian style popular during the latter years of the 1st century CE.

Under Roman rule, Egyptians often chose burial features that emphasized either Roman or Egyptian identities - or both, as seen here.

Egyptian, Roman Period, 1st century CE, possibly from Hawara.

This 1st c. CE gilded cartonnage (mummy case, a mix of linen and gesso) of a woman shows an incredible blend of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures. The gold is traditional Egyptian, linked to the sun's daily rebirth, showing her hope of rebirth in the afterlife. 🏺 1/
