(Pittsburgh, PA) The Allegheny Health Network (AHN) Department of Urology is now offering INLEXZO™, which is a newly FDA-approved, long-acting intravesical drug delivery system for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).  

Allegheny Health Network is the first health system in western Pennsylvania to offer this innovative treatment. 

INLEXZO™ is a flexible system shaped like a pretzel that is placed in the bladder during an outpatient procedure which continuously releases chemotherapy over a period of 21 days, and most patients complete eight cycles over six months. 

Early data suggests INLEXZO™ demonstrated a complete response rate of approximately 82%, meaning that most patients experienced no detectable signs of cancer following treatment. 

NMIBC is an early form of bladder cancer that remains confined to the lining of the bladder and it is the most common type of bladder cancer that accounts for about 70 percent of newly diagnosed cases.

Bladder cancer most commonly affects adults that are over age 50 and is more frequently diagnosed in men. Bladder cancer is the 10th leading cause of cancer death in the United States.

(Pittsburgh, PA) Pittsburgh International Airport was named one of the world’s most beautiful airports by a prestigious architectural organization yesterday. 

French-based Prix Versailles said that Pittsburgh and the six other locations on the 2026 list show how airports can “offer the world a richer, more harmonious point of view.” 

The airport’s new $1.7 billion terminal, which opened last year, was designed to symbolize the region’s natural landscape. According to Prix Versailles, the undulating roofline imitates the Allegheny Mountains, and 38 steel columns create a canopy reminiscent of the region’s forests. 

Glass walls let in the natural light, and there are four outdoor terraces where travelers can get some fresh air. There is also a tunnel that is designed to pay homage to the city’s Fort Pitt Tunnel. The Pittsburgh International Airport stated that the honor, which is presented in association with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO, is one of the world’s most prestigious architecture and design recognitions.

(Harrisburg, PA) Attorney General Dave Sunday issued a recent statement in response to a ruling from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court of “skill games” as illegal under the current state Crimes Code and Gaming Act. 

This ruling follows that arguments made by the Office of Attorney General before the Court in November of 2025 that the electronic machines which are found in numerous convenience stores, bar/restaurants and other establishments across the state of Pennsylvania will operate as unlicensed and unregulated slot machines. 

The Court ordered that its ruling stayed for 120 days. 

Sunday’s office argued that embedding an element of so-called skill into the games does not exempt the devices from Pennsylvania gambling laws. 

An estimated 70,000 skill game machines are operating throughout Pennsylvania, and that is a number that far exceeds the regulated casino slot machines in the state.
