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...

Chest pain, RBBB but “STEMI Negative”: Is this a false cath lab activation, or a false cancellation?
A 90 year old with a history of atrial fibrillation presented with two weeks of intermittent retrosternal chest pain lasting minutes. An hour prior to presentation it became constant and more severe, accompanied by nausea and general weakness, and the paramedics brought them to the ED as a code STEMI. Heart rate was in the 50s and other vitals normal. What do you think? There ’s atrial fibrillation, a right bundle branch block, normal axis and normal voltages. RBBB should produce secondary ST depression and T wave inversion in the anterior leads with the RsR’ (as it does in V1). But here in...

mRNA Vaccines: From Tackling A Pandemic To Treating Cancer
The story of the multi-decade uphill battle Katalin Karikó and her fellow researchers fought to prove messenger RNA can viably be used in medicine is widely known today. In just as little as two years, the world has learned about mRNA technology and how fast it can react when the need arises holding almost unlimited promises in future applications. As always is the case with “instant hits” in science, the ride was actually very long and bumpy, but more on that later.
What is mRNA?
In very simple terms: messenger ribonucleic acids (or mRNAs in short) are the body’s natural way to transport messages from o...

Most of us don ’ t have a desire for unlimited wealth
By Emily Reynolds
Do humans always want more, or are we sometimes just happy with our lot? This debate has long raged in multiple disciplines: economics, politics, and even philosophy. And whether an unlimited desire for more is inherent or a product of capitalism is equally hotly contested.
Paul G. Bain from the University of Bath and Renata Bongiorno from Bath Spa University explore this question in a new paper published in Nature Sustainability. They find that the assumption we always want more, no matter how much we have, may not be completely accurate: while some of us do have unlimited desire for wealth, they ...
