Burgess Owens (R-Utah) and Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) aims to add 28 daily flights, including more long-distance flights, at Reagan National Airport.“By limiting the number of flights in and out of National Airport, we are squeezing consumers — they are the ones paying the price,” said Johnson, a senior member of the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, in a statement introducing the Direct Capital Access (DCA) Act.A federal “perimeter” rule restricting long-distance flights was established in the 1960s. With few exceptions, it caps the distance of flights in and out of Reagan National Airport at 1,250 miles.The new bill has support from the Capital Access Alliance, a ...

An mRNA vaccine that programs the body to fight pancreatic cancer shows early promise

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 08:55:40 GMT

(CNN) — When Barbara Brigham was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in September 2020, the odds were not in her favor.Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies, fatal in 88% of patients. It is also one of the hardest to treat. Tumors can be surgically removed, but they come back within seven to nine months in 90% of patients. Chemotherapy can help prolong life, but it too is rarely a cure. Radiation, immunotherapy and targeted therapies also don’t work.Today, nearly three years after her diagnosis, Brigham says regular scans find no trace of cancer in her pancreas. She credits an experimental therapy — a personalized cancer vaccine — being tested by BioNTech, one of the companies that helped make the mRNA vaccines for Covid-19.Brigham was one of 16 participants in a recent test of the new technology. The results of the study were published Wednesday in the journal Nature.Half of patients respondedOf the 16 patients who were able to complete all p...
