Abstract: Methods for treating a cancer patient with a neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) greater than 3 are disclosed, comprising administering a nonsteroidal glucocorticoid receptor antagonist (GRA) to such a cancer patient, effective to reduce the patient's NLR. The methods include administering a nonsteroidal GRA and a cancer treatment to such a cancer patient, effective to reduce the patient's NLR and enhance the treatment of the cancer patient. The GRA may be orally administered. The nonsteroidal GRA may be a nonsteroidal compound comprising a heteroaryl ketone fused azadecalin structure (e.g., relacorilant) or an octahydro fused azadecalin structure (e.g., exicorilant). The cancer treatment may include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, administration of an anti-angiogenic agent, administration of a growth factor inhibitor, and surgery.

Abstract: The invention disclosed is a foldable basketball goal apparatus that is usable as a basketball goal for playing the game of basketball in the active position. When in the folded, home position, the apparatus is usable as a sports table or for other activities requiring a table. The apparatus is made of a base, a frame assembly, and a basketball goal assembly. The basketball goal assembly is rotatable and slidable with respect to the frame assembly. The frame assembly is pivotally attached to the base. In the home position, the frame assembly is lowered to rest on the base and the basketball goal assembly is rotated 180 degrees and retracted beneath the table surface. A frame assembly partial table surface forms a complete table surface when in the home position, mated with base table surface portions. The rim is protected within the base structural frame when in the home position.

Abstract: The invention disclosed is a foldable basketball goal apparatus that when in the unfolded, active position, is usable as a basketball goal for playing the game of basketball. When in the folded, home position, the apparatus is usable as a sports table on which games may be played, picnics may be held, or other activities requiring a table can be carried out. The apparatus is made of a base, a frame assembly, and a basketball goal assembly. The basketball goal assembly is rotatably attached to one end of the frame assembly. The opposite end of the frame assembly is pivotally attached to the base. In the home position, the basketball goal assembly is rotated so that the back surface of the backboard acts as a table surface, creating a complete table surface when positioned next a partial table surface held by the frame assembly. The rim is protected between the frame assembly and base when in the home position.
