South Korea-Based Undbio Co., Ltd. + Proprietary Insulin; Maybe Biosimilars (someday)
On April 13, 2023, a South Korean biopharmaceutical company known as Undbio Co., Ltd.http://undbio.com/eng/ signed a lease with West Virginia University to build what it refers to as an insulin " manufacturing facility " in the city of Morgantown, WV (seehttps://www.wvgazettemail.com/business/undbio-planning-insulin-facility-in-morgantown/article_6b986775-6a2e-5ce5-b312-c423d79cbda2.html for more information).

Localisation of Ventricular Tachycardia by Surface ECG
Surface ECG can be used to identify the site of origin of ventricular tachycardia. QRS morphologic patterns and vectors are helpful in discerning the activation pattern of the myocardium. Chest wall deformity as well as metabolic and drug effects can cause limitations in analysis sometimes [1]. Identification of site of origin of VT is useful while planning catheter ablation. It is also useful in correlating with the clinical situation as in post myocardial infarction scar related VT. Another instance is for correlation with findings on imaging modalities like echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging [2].

poem
Au SableThe summer before residency started in ChicagoI went north to Grayling, Michigan with a backpackAnd the last of a dreamy eyed sociopathic certaintyTo spend a weekend fly fishing on the edgesOf the swift black flat Au Sable river.I thought I had it all won,I ’d played some cards wellParlayed a little luck into a tidy stack That bought me access to higher stakes tables. I was ready to roll the dice and gamble.But first, before sitting down with the high rollersIt was off to the swift black Au Sable river In the summer before the illusions fractured,Before I realized everything I hadBarely cover...

BusinessWeek Says " Why Cheaper Insulin Today Risks Higher Costs Later " . We should want that!
On April 4, 2023,Bloomberg BusinessWeek magazine published an article entitled " Why Cheaper Insulin Today Risks Higher Costs Later " (seehttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-04-04/cheaper-insulin-from-lilly-and-sanofi-risks-raising-costs-later for the article). Unfortunately, Americans have grown much too accustomed to seeing prescription drug prices being artificially manipulated from behind-the-scenes by entities who rig the system to line their own pockets that today, we instinctively view higher prices in the future as a direct assault. Don ' t play that game!But if the market was working properly to begi...

Harnessing mindfulness and virtual reality simulations to maximize sports performance
Athletes at the very highest level of their sport face the challenge of performing consistently under pressure amid many potential distractions, including performance anxiety, crowd behaviour, their own and others’ expectations, and the responses of their opponents.
The performance of players in the 2023 Australian Open, for example, demonstrated the psychological factors needed to succeed at elite-level tennis.
It had plenty of exciting moments that are the hallmarks of a great tournament. Andy Murray made an astonishing comeback from two sets down against Thanasi Kokkinakis, following his long recovery after major inju...

An Unconstitutional Income Tax Without Income
Thomas A. BerryCan the government impose an income tax when you never had income? That may seem like a trick question, but it ’s exactly what happened to Charles and Kathleen Moore. In 2006, the Moores invested in a start ‐up Indian company called KisanKraft, whose goal was to provide low‐cost, efficient tools to rural Indian farmers. The Moores believed in KisanKraft’s mission and retained their shares of KisanKraft for over a decade, never selling it for a profit. And KisanKraft reinvested all of its own profits in the company, never paying dividends. For that reason, the Moores never sa...

It was reported as ERS pattern of concern. When he went for an expert opinion, he was suggested to understand, there is a small risk of SCD. That’s it, the panic has set in already, which got amplified in the following conversation..
How small is the risk,? he wanted to know.
Yours’ is possibly an intermediate risk.
Intermediate means what? Do I have any genetic or EP studies to predict the risk accurately?
Sorry, we have some gene mapping but all primitive. We aren’t sure. But keep calm, nothing will happen.

India Can Bridge the U.S.-Russia Divide over Ukraine
No country is as well positioned as India to mediate between Russia and the United States, and bring the Ukraine conflict to an end. Even limited success in ending the war will bolster India ' s credentials as an emerging great power, capable of accomplishing remarkable things that others cannot. (Source: The RAND Blog)
