In many industries, mining of Big Data has become a profitable source for business intelligence. [...]

3 ways analytics can drive ACOs
It's an exciting era for healthcare. Aside from the propagation of new devices and technologies that one can spot in any hospital corridor, the very way healthcare will be delivered is under reconstruction. Accountable care organizations (ACOs) link practices under a common standard of payment and care. While they are becoming the norm for how the business and oversight of healthcare is practiced, there are still a lot of wrinkles to iron out.

Could HRT stop dementia?
Conclusion
This small study appears to have found an association between the gene variant APOE-e4 and the rate at which telomeres become shorter, which is usually regarded as a biological sign of cell ageing.
It does not show that HRT can help prevent Alzheimer's in women who carry the APOE-e4 gene variant. This analysis is an exaggeration of the researchers' findings by the press.
A systematic review from the Cochrane Collaboration in 2008 suggested that, at the time, there was good evidence that HRT did not prevent cognitive decline in older postmenopausal women when given in the short or longer term (up to five years)....
