    Contribution to accompanying downloadable double album in Neu Reekie, #UntitledTwo. “Imagine 30 recording artists coming together to donate tracks to a blisteringly hot compilation album. Imagine it being given away for free with an anthology of cutting edge poetry. This is #UntitledTwo - the latest project from Neu! Reekie! - #UntitledTwo is a unique Neu! Reekie! collaboration between poets & musicians and is published by Polygon Book.” Neu Reekie burst onto the cultural scene, in Edinburgh (then later Glasgow and the Highlands) in 2010, but can trace its intellectual heft back to the Scottish counterculture of the 1970s. Co-editor of this collection, Kevin Williamson, founded radical literary magazine Rebel Inc alongside Sandie Craigie in 1992. They published early work by Irvine Welsh, and, after being taken under the wing of Canongate, reissued work by Glaswegian Alexander Trocchi under the imprint Rebel Inc Classics.

    Trastuzumab (Herceptin (R)): Monoclonal antibody in the treatment of HER2/neu-overexpressing breast cancer in the metastatic and (neo)adjuvant situation

    Get PDF
    Trastuzumab (Herceptin (R)) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that specifically targets HER2/neu (human epidermal growth factor receptor-2) breast cancer cells, which are overexpressed in about 25-30% of breast carcinomas. After phase I and II trials, several phase III studies of trastuzumab alone or in combination with various chemotherapies were conducted. Patients with HER2/neu overexpression levels of 3+ determined by immunohistochemical assay or gene amplification (fluorescence in situ hybridization) derive most clinical benefit from trastuzumab. Taking into consideration efficacy and side effect profile, the combination of trastuzumab and paclitaxel showed an improvement of all clinical parameters, including overall survival, for the first time in the history of palliative breast cancer therapy. The application of trastuzumab has meanwhile become an established part of systemic therapy of metastastic breast cancer, and excellent data of its application in the adjuvant setting now exist (NSABP-B31, NCCTG-N9831, HERA), with significantly better relapse-free survival in the treatment arms with trastuzumab. Ongoing trials investigate the role of trastuzumab in the neoadjuvant setting. Trastuzumab is generally well tolerated. Cardiotoxicity is the main concern, thus monitoring of cardiac function is recommended

    Just liberal Violence: Sweatshops, Torture, War

    No full text
    This book critically examines "just liberal violence": forms of direct and structural violence that others may be "justly" subjected to. Michael Neu focusses on liberal defences of torture, war and sweatshop labour, respectively, and argues that each of these defences fails and that all of them fail for similar reasons. Liberal defences of violence share several blind spots, and it is the task of this book to reveal them. Neu offers a unifying perspective that reveals the three kinds of defence of violence under investigation as being essentially one of a kind. He demonstrates that each of these defences suffers from serious and irreparable intellectual defects and articulates these defects in a synthesised critique. The book goes on to accuse liberal defenders of being complicit in contemporary structures and practices of violence, and highlights the implications of this argument for moral and political philosophers who spend their professional lives thinking about morality and politics
