Physician Payments Sunshine Act: List of Open Payments Resources
This article also lists resources that analyzed the payment data. We followed up this initial publication review with another round-up on October 30, a month after the initial data release.
Breakdown of Research Payments, Including Top Manufacturers
Research payments from manufacturers to teaching hospitals and physicians in the first database were around $1.5 billion. While about 90 percent of this research data was de-identified, so as to cover the recipient of these payments, the information provides a useful look into the collaborations between companies and physicians and teaching hospitals.

Here's What the Social Science Says About Countering Violent Extremism
This post is adapted from an address in the UN Security Council's Ministerial Debate on "The Role of Youth in Countering Violent Extremism and Promoting Peace."
I am an anthropologist. Anthropologists, as a group, study the diversity of human cultures to understand our commonalities and differences, and to use the knowledge of what is common to us all to help us bridge our differences. My research aims to help reduce violence between peoples, by first trying to understand thoughts and behaviors as different from my own as any I can imagine: such as suicide actions that kill masses of people innocent of direct harm to othe...

Why I Don't Fear Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is the most important technology we're developing this decade.
It's a massive opportunity for humanity, not a threat.
So what is AI?
Broadly, AI is the ability of a computer to understand your question, to search its vast memory banks and to give you the most accurate answer.
AI is the ability of a computer to process a vast amount of information for you, make decisions and take (and/or advise you to take) appropriate action.
You may know early versions of AI as Siri on your iPhone or IBM's Watson supercomputer.
Watson made headlines back in 2011 by winning Jeopardy, and now it's helping docto...

The Digital Doctor: Is Natural Language Processing the Breakthrough We’ve Been Waiting For?
By BOB WACHTER, MD
Natural language processing might seem a bit arcane andtechnical – the type of thing that software engineers talk about deep into the night, but of limited usefulness for practicing docs and their patients.
Yet software that can “read” physicians’ and nurses’ notes may prove to be one of the seminal breakthroughs in digital medicine. Exhibit A, from the world of medical research: a recent studylinked the use of proton pump inhibitors to subsequent heart attacks. It did this by plowing through 16 million notes in electronic health records. While legitimate epidemiologic questions can be raised a...

Trial By Error, Continued: Why has the PACE Study’s “Sister Trial” been “Disappeared” and Forgotten?
By David Tuller, DrPH
David Tuller is academic coordinator of the concurrent masters degree program in public health and journalism at the University of California, Berkeley.
In 2010, the BMJ published the results of the Fatigue Intervention by Nurses Evaluation, or FINE. The investigators for this companion trial to PACE, also funded by the Medical Research Council, reported no benefits to ME/CFS patients from the interventions tested.
In medical research, null findings often get ignored in favor or more exciting “positive” results. In this vein, the FINE trial seems to have vanished from the public discussion over ...

How Much Does Congress Care About Drug Prices? Less Than It Should
Per-capita prescription drug spending in the United States, the highest in the industrialized world, increased by 12.2 percent in 2014. News of rising drug costs has met with public scorn and calls for reform. In an August 2015 poll, nearly three in four Americans said the cost of prescription drugs was “unreasonable.”
Presidential candidates have capitalized on public pressure by issuing policy proposals aimed at containing drug prices. Among other measures, Democratic candidates have called for Medicare to be allowed to negotiate prices directly with drug manufacturers. They have also called for the importation of pr...

A Comparative Analysis of Disaster Risk, Vulnerability and Resilience Composite Indicators
This study has found that these calls have been largely unheeded. Despite the large increase in number of disaster risk, resilience and vulnerability composite indicators being developed, there has not been an increase in the use of sensitivity and uncertainty analysis. Few methodologies are undertaking explicit sensitivity and uncertainty analyses and where it is undertaken it is typically limited to one or two aspects of the methodology. This makes it difficult to assess quality, especially when many choices in index construction appear to have been made arbitrarily or with limited justification. Some sensitivity analyse...

How to Find Reliable Health Info Online
By Stacy Simon When you’re facing a serious illness, the Internet can be a valuable resource. A good online search can help you find answers to your questions and connect you with people and resources to help when you need it most. But a bad search can get you wrong or outdated facts, medical information that may not apply to you, or even worse, an invitation to be scammed when you’re most vulnerable. Here are some ways to stay savvy as you search online: Look for trustworthy and reliable websites as your sources. Sites affiliated with government agencies, hospitals, universities, and major public health and ...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, April 18th 2016
This study confirms that having an apple-shaped body - or a high waist circumference - can lead to heart disease, and that reducing your waist size can reduce your risks."
The results of the new research expands on the results of a previously published study called FaCTor-64, which showed that the greater a person's body mass index, the greater their risk of heart disease. FaCTor-64 enrolled patients with diabetes who were considered to be at high risk for heart attacks, strokes, or death but had no evidence of heart disease as of yet. Study participants completed randomized screening for coronary artery disease by ...
