Key Points
- New tariffs on imported goods from Canada, China, and potentially Mexico are significantly increasing operational costs for U.S. nursing homes, which are already financially strained and unable to pass these costs onto consumers.
- The National Health Service in the UK is launching a large-scale trial involving nearly 700,000 women to evaluate the effectiveness of artificial intelligence in enhancing breast cancer screening, potentially reducing the workload on radiologists.
- The FDA has approved Journavx, a new non-opioid pain medication, offering a promising alternative for pain management without the risk of addiction associated with opioids.
