The battle between Radiology Partners and UnitedHealthcare has ended with United as the victor. The summary: RP claimed United owed them lots of money for underpayment because United was using a 2020 contract to determine some of its payments instead of a more lucrative 1998 contract originally held by one of its purchased groups, Singleton. United then sued Radiology Partners alleging an illegal pass-through billing scheme.

Or, “Why Independent Radiology is different from most job boards (but also still boring)” So recently I created a simple, small website called Independent Radiology. It’s a boring job board, but it’s also different from most job boards. Jason Fried from 37signals (makers of Basecamp, HEY, and other stuff) argued years ago that software should be opinionated.

Background: Emergency intubations present a unique set of challenges, particularly when dealing with heavily contaminated airways. Anesthesiologist, Dr. James DuCanto, developed the DuCanto catheter to enhance airway management in these high-stakes situations. The commonly used 14 Fr Yankauer catheter, with its smaller bore, may struggle to clear heavily contaminated airways effectively.

Early detection of breast cancer through mammography screening continues to save lives. However, abnormal findings on mammograms can lead to women being recalled for additional imaging and biopsies, many of which turn out to be "false positives," meaning they do not result in a cancer diagnosis. False positives can also have financial implications for patients and cause significant emotional anxiety.

About 40% of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime, and patients are getting younger. At the same time, the cost of treatment continues to rise, with employers spending 8.5% more on cancer care for each employee than they did last year. The best thing employers can do for their employees and business tomorrow is to invest in cancer detection and care today.

Research discovered a unique and promising avenue for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD) earlier -- by analyzing AD biomarkers in blood -- so that the impacts of dementia can be reduced. The researchers applied inorganic analytical geochemistry techniques, originally developed for cosmochemistry -- for example, to study the formation and evolution of the Earth, the Moon, other planets and asteroid samples -- and adapted these highly sensitive techniques to search for early biomarkers of AD in h
