lung cancer stages :: Article Creator Real-World Practice Upholds Lobectomy For Early-Stage Lung Cancer LOS ANGELES -- Surgeries to remove small tumors in stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were associated with varying odds of long-term survival depending on the amount of lung removed, based on real-world data collected from across the country. In routine practice, unadjusted 10-year overall survival (OS) for lobectomy reached 44.8%, while for segmentectomy it was 44.2%, and for wedge resection 41.4%, according to Christopher Seder, MD, of Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, at the annual meeting of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS). Lobectomy was associated with a significantly lower risk of all-cause mortality relative to sublobar resections in general (HR 0.87, 95% CI 0.83-0.92), though on closer inspection, this was really an advantage over wedge resections (HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.80-0.88) but not segmentectomy (HR 0.96, ...

Malware
And viruses.

This is due to Apple's senior vice president Craig Federighi's oath testimony in a California court on Wednesday. "Today, Macs have an unacceptable level of malware," he said.

You'll see a few more pop-ups for all viruses or malware that Apple can block or block. "It's a never-ending game of whac-a-mole," he said.

Federighi appeared as a defense witness in an ongoing lawsuit filed by the Fortnite maker against Apple.

During the question, Federighi compared the security differences of Apple's computing platforms.

Apple's computer is a "car-like" and users can take it off-road or wherever they want, but iOS, the operating system for the iPhone and iPad, needs to be available to children. And even babies.

In the proceedings, Epic is trying to force Apple to publish its iOS platform to another app store.

Epic argues that iOS is a computer operating system and should be exposed to competition. Apple claims that allowing an alternative app store poses a serious security issue.

According to Federighi, the Mac operating system is less secure than iOS, especially because of its open nature. According to Federighi, if you could download an iPhone or iPad app outside of Apple's App Store, you would face a variety of security issues that Apple couldn't see before using it.

He said this was due to the App Store review process, which provides standard safety for all iPhone and iPad apps.

Apple states that when Epic implemented a payment system in the game to allow players to circumvent Apple's App Store, Epic withdrew the game because it violated the terms of the developer agreement. Epic claims that the App Store is monopoly and the iPhone and iPad are no different than computers.

The face-to-face trial will begin in early May at the Federal District Court for the Northern District of California in Oakland, California, and will end next Monday. Apple CEO Tim Cook will run for Apple's witnesses on Friday morning.

Apple: Viruses on Mac computers have reached an 'unacceptable' level - Business Insider

  • Apple's computers are getting slammed with malware and viruses, according to Apple.
  • "It's an endless game of whack-a-mole," Apple senior VP Craig Federighi said in court on Wednesday.

Apple's computers, from its iconic iMac to the latest MacBook, are getting slammed by malware and viruses.

That's according to Apple senior VP Craig Federighi's sworn testimony given on Wednesday in a California court room. "Today, we have a level of malware on the Mac that we don't find acceptable," he said.

For every virus or piece of malware that Apple is able to stop or block, another several pop up. "It's an endless game of whack-a-mole," he said.

Federighi appeared as a witness for the defense in an ongoing lawsuit brought against Apple by "Fortnite" maker Epic Games .

During questioning, Federighi compared the differences in security of Apple's computing platforms.

Apple's computers are "like a car," he said, and that means users can take it off-road or wherever they'd like — for better or worse — whereas the iPhone and iPad operating system, iOS, needs to be usable by children and even babies.

In the lawsuit, Epic is attempting to force Apple to open its iOS platform to alternate app stores.

Epic argues that iOS is a computer operating system and should be open to competition. Apple argues that allowing alternative app stores introduces major security issues. 

The Mac operating system, Federighi said, is less secure than iOS specifically because of its open nature. If you were able to download iPhone and iPad apps outside of Apple's App Store, Federighi said, you'd be open to a variety of security issues that Apple couldn't review before use. 

This is due to the App Store's review process, he said, which offers a standard of safety across all iPhone and iPad apps.

Epic Games filed suit against Apple last summer after its hit game, "Fortnite," was pulled from Apple's App Store.

Apple says it pulled the game because Epic violated the terms of its developer agreement when Epic implemented a payment system in the game that enabled players to circumvent Apple's App Store. Epic says the App Store is a monopoly, and argues that iPhones and iPads are no different from computers.

The in-person trial began in early May at the US District Court for the Northern District of California in Oakland, California, and is expected to conclude next Monday. Apple CEO Tim Cook is scheduled to take the stand as a witness for Apple on Friday morning.
