A self-confessed 'prat' who was caught driving under the influence of cannabis has been banned from the road.
A self-confessed "prat" who was caught driving under the influence of cannabis has been banned from the road.Christopher Jones, aged 52, was spotted driving a Citroen at speed on Park Street, Madeley by a police officer on duty in a marked car.
The officer pulled Jones over and spoke to him, and could smell cannabis. He was arrested and taken to the Malinsgate police HQ in Telford where a test found he had 4.8 microgrammes of Delta 9 THC - the main psychoactive part of cannabis - in 100 millilitres of blood. The legal limit, taking into account accidental exposure, is 2mcg.
Jones, of Selbourne, Sutton Hill, Telford, pleaded guilty at Telford Magistrates Court to driving with a proportion of a controlled drug above the specified limit. Representing himself in court, Jones told magistrates:"There is no excuse for what I've done. I'm sorry. I feel a bit of a prat to be honest with you."
Magistrates disqualified him from driving for one year and fined him £120. Jones must also pay £135 in prosecution costs and a £48 victim surcharge.

PATH-SURVEYOR: pathway level survival enquiry for immuno-oncology and drug repurposing - BMC BioinformaticsPathway-level survival analysis offers the opportunity to examine molecular pathways and immune signatures that influence patient outcomes. However, available survival analysis algorithms are limited in pathway-level function and lack a streamlined analytical process. Here we present a comprehensive pathway-level survival analysis suite, PATH-SURVEYOR, which includes a Shiny user interface with extensive features for systematic exploration of pathways and covariates in a Cox proportional-hazard model. Moreover, our framework offers an integrative strategy for performing Hazard Ratio ranked Gene Set Enrichment Analysis and pathway clustering. As an example, we applied our tool in a combined cohort of melanoma patients treated with checkpoint inhibition (ICI) and identified several immune populations and biomarkers predictive of ICI efficacy. We also analyzed gene expression data of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and performed an inverse association of drug targets with the patient’s clinical endpoint. Our analysis derived several drug targets in high-risk KMT2A-fusion-positive patients, which were then validated in AML cell lines in the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity database. Altogether, the tool offers a comprehensive suite for pathway-level survival analysis and a user interface for exploring drug targets, molecular features, and immune populations at different resolutions.
