Exablate Neuro from Insightec targets and removes a tiny part of the globus pallidus using precision MRI-guided focused ultrasound. This reduces activity and motor symptoms like tremor and stiffness. During the procedure, patients are awake, allowing doctors to detect immediate effects and adjust as needed. There is no need for anesthesia or a hospital stay following the procedure. Exablate Neuro, unlike deep brain stimulation, does not require any surgical incisions or brain implants. Additionally, the technique reduces the risk of serious infection or brain bleeding.

To assist retail pharmacies in filling the care gap left by physician shortages and transitioning to an effective, patient-centric clinical services business model, real-time communication and seamless data sharing among pharmacists, diagnostic providers, physicians, and patients are required. Linking the care team in a way that allows for not only efficient care delivery but also efficient provider billing with full interoperability will be critical to pharmacies’ long-term success as clinical service providers.

Mike Serbinis, CEO of League; Pete Anevski, CEO of Progyny; John Erwin, CEO of Carenet Health; Mick Mazour, president of Carenet Health; BJ Schaknowski, CEO of symplr; Tanja Dowe, CEO of the Debiopharm Innovation Fund; Derek Streat, Co-founder and CEO of DexCare; and Kimberly O’Loughlin, CEO of Health Recovery Solutions, provide their thoughts on this year’s meeting, with value-based care, healthcare technology, hospital medicine, and the overall economy being the familiar strings.

Dr. Seol Seung-Kwon of Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) said, “Our achievement is a development of 3D printing technology that can print functional micro-patterns on non-planner substrate that can commercialize advanced smart contact lenses to implement AR.” He added, “It will greatly contribute to the miniaturization and versatility of AR devices.”

Reducing unneeded lab work in the hospital setting is a monumental task. It is a kind of security blanket, and it is automated in many EMRs. For clinicians, seeing that lab values are stable can be a reassurance while waiting for treatment to take effect. And everyone has their story of the one patient for whom a change in routine daily labs prompted urgent intervention.

A prospective cohort study of 629 patients with non-MRI-conditional ICDs from 2003 to 2013, including 813 MRIs, concludes that the devices continue to function properly after MRI.
