At this price, it is obviously the basic configuration (8 GB of unified memory and 256 GB of SSD storage), a basic model but sufficient for most office uses and above all, much cheaper than the new MacBook Air M2. The reduction reaches 17%, with the price of this machine now officially at 1,199.00 euros.

Tests on a treatment for breast cancer in its early stages showed that it reduces the risk of recurrence by 25%, according to the results of a large clinical trial published Friday, which raises hopes for many patients.
The preliminary findings were revealed at the largest annual conference for cancer specialists, hosted by the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago.
University of Chicago oncologist Rita Nanda, who was not involved in the work, said, “This is a very important clinical trial that will change doctors’ practices.”
The treatment, called Ribociclib, was developed by Novartis once morest the most common type of breast cancer (called HR+/HR2-).
This treatment is already used (along with hormonal therapy) in patients with advanced cancer with metastases.
The aim of this new study was to test this drug for early-stage cancers (1 to 3).
Management of the disease generally includes surgical interventions, radiotherapy and possibly chemotherapy, followed by years of hormonal therapy.
Despite this, “a third of patients with stage II breast cancer will have a recurrence,” said UCLA oncologist Denise Salamon, who presented the findings at a news conference. The disease can reappear within two to three decades following diagnosis.
More than 5,000 people participated in the clinical trial, half of whom took ribociclib and hormone therapy, and the other half received hormone therapy alone.
According to preliminary results, the risk of recurrence was reduced by 25% in the group whose members received ribociclib treatment.
Ribociclib works by targeting proteins (CDK4 and CDK6) that influence the growth of cancer cells.
Two other CDK inhibitor therapies, palbociclib and apimaciclib, are also approved for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.
Epimasiclib has also recently been approved in the US to treat the disease in its early stages, but only for women at high risk of recurrence in which the lymph nodes are also affected.
Ribociclib might be an option for women whose lymph nodes are not affected by infection, according to Rita Nanda.
“There will probably be a lot of discussion regarding the level of benefit for patients, the type of side effects, and for which patients there is a real benefit to using this type of drug for prevention,” said the head of the department of medical oncology at the Curie Jean-Yves Berga, during a separate press conference.
More than two million cases of breast cancer are diagnosed each year worldwide, which causes more than 600,000 deaths annually. Most diagnoses are made at an early stage.

Up until now, rumors of a new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip keep popping up. Previously, there were also rumors that it would launch earlier than usual, but now Qualcomm has reiterated the rumors.
On its web page, Qualcomm has announced the date of the Snapdragon Summit in Maui, Hawaii on Oct. 24 compared to previous years. and counted as being faster enough Because usually the event will be held during 15 – 17 Nov.
which although on the web page will not tell anything However, since the Snapdragon Summit is usually the launch of the Snapdragon 8 series chips, we are expected to launch the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for sure.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip will be manufactured by TSMC using 4nm technology, which will be an Octa-Core CPU with 3 clusters divided into

one is proven decline in spontaneous birth rates globally, due to various factors: to the participation of women in the labor market and access to family planning methods, we add the economic crises, the recent pandemic and the war in Europe. This trend, in turn, is leveling out in all regions, accelerating year by year.
Paradoxically, the The use of assisted reproductive techniques is increasing de exponentially throughout the world and particularly in moments of crisis like the current one, given that people, beyond withdrawing, reinforce the will to get pregnant, especially patients who are urged by the issue of age or simply by the force of desire
Other aspects that contribute to this growth are the introduction and greater access to alternatives such as surrogacy in people with structural infertility problems, who do not have the possibility of starting a family: single men, couples of men or women without a uterus.
Warning signs in fertility treatments. When to ask for help?
On the other hand, there is a greater awareness of the reproductive age advanced in women and its impact on oocyte quality, having the possibility of preserving fertility thanks to the cryopreservation ovules, and assisted reproduction treatments or egg donation in cases of infertility.
To all this, we must add the contribution of reproductive genetics to improve the results and reduce genetic risks in the offspring.
That is why it is important to seek advice on today’s and future options. Every time we have more information on the human genome, which allows us to identify the causes of many more genetic diseases with an increasingly affordable cost. These studies can be performed before seeking pregnancy or within the framework of assisted reproduction treatment, thanks to the genetic studies on embryos generated in vitrothe so-called preimplantation genetic study.
One in four fertility procedures is already performed with donated eggs
This new “complexity” of the reproductive medicine requires a horizontal model in medical care, where a multidisciplinary team, led by a specialist in Reproductive Medicine, evaluates the treatment of each patient in a personalized way, taking advantage of the advantages of technological tools and artificial intelligence.
Telemedicine solutions grew in popularity during the pandemic and are now solidifying as legitimate approaches to patient care. The virtual space has become a viable option for patient support and access.
Today, highly complex assisted reproductive techniques are first-choice treatments.
