A Man for All Markets by Edward O. Thorpe is a fascinating memoir from the mathematician/gambler/investor who solved card counting and essentially invented modern quantitative investing strategies. While reading, I was struck by two things: One, unsurprisingly, Thorpe is/was curious, industrious, and clearly a genius.

Patients undergoing lung transplant should be screened annually with dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) for the first two years after the surgery to monitor their bone health, according to results of a recent study. Researchers led by Ronnie Sebro, MD, PhD, of the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL, found that patients experience a loss in bone mineral density (BMD) after transplant, which puts them at higher risk for osteoporosis and fractures.

Radiology and medical groups are welcoming the introduction of a bipartisan federal bill that aims to mitigate the impact of the finalized Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) conversion factor reduction. Lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives on October 29 introduced the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act. The bill would prevent the full 2.8% proposed cut to the Medicare physician conversion factor and provide a modest inflation update for 2025.

Smaller nuclear reactors (SMRs) are a revolutionary advancement in nuclear energy. They’re smaller, cheaper, and more modular. Although SMRs generate a lower power capacity of less than 300 megawatts (MW) compared with traditional nuclear plants, their wide-ranging benefits make them attractive solutions for the future. Because of their smaller size and capacity , SMRs can be built more quickly and easily, with lower upfront costs.
