Now that increasing attention is given to senescent cells in the biology of aging, their involvement in a wide range of conditions has been uncovered. The transient creation of senescent cells is a part of wound healing, a process that is harmed by the growing burden of lingering senescent cells that occurs with advancing age, and the inability of the aged immune system to remove these cells in a timely fashion. Given the role in wound healing, is perhaps not surprising to find senescent cells involved in graft-versus-host disease following surgical transplantation of tissue. Senolytic therapies may prove to be useful here...

What Can We Learn from the Envision Bankruptcy?
This study ignited a firestorm of press criticism and was followed by an aggressive lobbying and PR campaign funded by United and other large commercial payers aimed at restricting balance billing by firms like Envision.
This campaign culminated in the Dec 2020 Congressional passage of the No Surprises Act, which effectively ended balance billing and subjected thousands of Envision’s out-of-network bills to an arbitration process. NSA went into effect in January 2022. Ironically, days prior to its Chapter 11 filing, Envision won a $91 million judgment from an arbitration panel against United fo...

Secure Your Hospital ’ s Future: The Critical Need for Robust Telemedicine Security
The following is a guest article by Narinder Singh, Co-Founder and CEO at LookDeep Health
In 2016, attackers gained unauthorized access to Banner Health’s systems through the payment processing system used in the organization’s food and beverage outlets and used it as a gateway to access patient information.
