The Future of Radiology And Artificial Intelligence
What if an algorithm could tell you whether you have cancer based on your CT scan or mammography exam? While I am confident that radiologists’ creative work will be necessary in the future to solve complex issues and supervise diagnostic processes, A.I. will definitely become part of their daily routine in diagnosing simpler cases and taking over repetitive tasks. So rather than getting threatened by it, we should familiarise ourselves with how it could help change the course of radiology for the better.
Radiologists who use A.I. will replace those who don’t
There is a lot of hype and plenty of fear around ar...

Russian Oil Price Controls: How They Would Work and What They Might Do
Justin Logan andPeter Van DorenTo avoid a large increase in oil prices to European customers that would result from reduced supply, finance ministers from the G‑7 nations recentlyagreed in principle with U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen ’s plan to reduce Russian revenues from the sale of its oil. The plan would limit the price paid to Russia rather than ban the sale of Russian oil to the European Union, as is currently scheduled to take effect in early December. Price caps are aimed at keeping supply roughly constant while reduci ng Russian revenue.How would these price controls function? How will markets likely ...

Constructed of star dust, will Guardian Angels continue to exist?
BY MIKE MAGEE
“EXCLUSIVE: Royal beekeeper has informed the Queen’s bees that the Queen has died and King Charles is their new boss in bizarre tradition dating back centuries. … He placed black ribbons tied into bows on the hives, home to tens of thousands of bees, before informing them that their mistress had died.”
So read John Dingwall’s exclusive in the Daily Mail posted at 03:48 EDT, 10 September 2022. In defense of what might first appear a bizarre practice, others were careful to provide evidence that the practice, of informing fellow natural creatures of important human losses, is well documente...

It Seems Australia Is Really Finding It Difficult To Make The Hoped For Digital Transformation!
ConclusionThe aspiration of the PC interim report is clear: it is about how declining productivity can be addressed through a better digital economy. Earlier this month, Treasurer Jim Chalmers also said that he hoped the digital dividend report would spur a genuine national conversation about how to reverse the poor performance, and flagged that boosting productivity would be a focus of the Jobs and Skills Summit.While the PC interim report is a strong statement of why Australia should be doing better than it is, its recommendations seem to fall short of the mark. Better digital infrastructure, data sharing, data skills an...

More Insulin Biosimilars Are Forthcoming; The Market Outlook for Them
During the past few weeks, in both SEC-mandated (for publicly-held companies) earnings reports and investor presentations, plus in the business news and pharmaceutical industry trade press, we received several important, relevant updates on not one, but on FOUR insulin biosimilars currently in development from two different companies. We also know that in addition to them, insulin biosimilars are in development from at least three additional companies, plus as the " innovators " , the traditional " Big Three " insulin-makers of Lilly, Novo Nordisk and Sanofi continue making their bestsellers (for the time being, anyway).&n...

The score is an incredibly important number, given it determines w...

The IRA
That could be the Irish Republican Army, or your Individual Retirement Account, but today it refers to the Inflation Reduction Act. Columbia economist Gernot Wagnerhas a very favorable view of the Act regarding climate change. (You need to register to read but it ' s free.) It actually doesn ' t have a lot of new spending -- just $369 billion over ten years. Yeah yeah, that sounds like a lot of money but by federal government standards it ' s peanuts. It also authorizes the Department of Energy to make up to $250 billion in loans. However, this modest initiative is well structured to elicit vastly larger private inve...
