US District Court Judge Analisa Torres ordered the charges dropped against guards Tova Noel and Michael Thomas after prosecutors said in a filing last week that the guards completed deferred prosecution agreements signed in May.
Noel and Thomas were working as guards that night. According to the initial indictment in the case, the guards repeatedly failed to complete the required counts of prisoners on their watch in the specialized housing unit where he was being held.

The dynamic adaptability of ALK+ tumors against ALK inhibitors requires a personalized approach to disease monitoring for accurate and timely clinical patient management. Next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based analysis of tissue DNA is an established and a highly robust method for baseline genotypic evaluations12,13. However, while longitudinal tissue biopsies could identify emerging resistance mutations, this strategy is limited by a number of factors: (a) single-site tumor biopsies would most likely fail to capture the full spectrum of genomic alterations of a molecularly heterogeneous tumor14; (b) multiple tumor re-biopsies pose procedural risks, and sometimes are not feasible15; and (c) tissue sample preparation such as formalin fixation could lead to false-positive results in molecular assays due to high levels of base transitions15,16. Therefore, liquid biopsy technologies are currently emerging as minimally invasive and easily accessible alternatives to tissue biopsies. Peripheral blood plasma naturally harbors molecular components that can be analyzed and attributed to certain pathologies. Among these, the circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) compartment provides highly sensitive and insightful genetic information for evaluating tumor heterogeneity and clonal evolution. In addition to being a surrogate for localized tissue biopsy, ctDNA has the potential to capture the complete genomic profile of the primary tumor and metastases at expansive time points without spatial bias. Detection of such exhaustive genetic tumor profiles is particularly relevant for disease monitoring of patients undergoing treatment, where tumor subclones could emerge due to selective pressures introduced by various therapeutic challenges. 2ff7e9595c
