by Jon Soderstrom Forty-three years ago, a young Senator, Joe Biden, voted for a transformative policy reform that catalyzed upwards of $2 trillion in economic growth. Yet now, President Joe Biden's administration is poised to undo that reform functionally. By halting this inadvertent political and economic sabotage, the president can protect a key part of his Washington legacy. The reform in question was the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, which helped revive the moribund economy of the 1970s. Prior to the law, the federal government held all the patents on discoveries made at university and non-profit labs that received federal funding.... Read more →

BYLINE: Mark Reynolds Newswise — Stroke patients who survive a blood clot in the brain’s blood vessels are prone to developing new blockages during their recovery periods, even if they receive vessel-clearing interventions. In an effort to avoid further clots, doctors at 57 sites around the U.S. tested a possible solution: the addition of anti-coagulant drugs to medicine that dissolves blood clots. But results from the clinical trial, led by Opeolu Adeoye, MD, head of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, indicate two such drugs did not improve outcomes.

Newswise — ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 15, 2024 – College students who vaped had lower cognitive function scores than those who didn’t, and the more they vaped, the bigger the disparity, according to first-of-its-kind research being presented at the 149th Annual Meeting of the American Neurological Association (ANA). The study also found college students who vaped and smoked had the lowest scores. While using electronic cigarettes (vaping) has been shown to cause lung damage, the research presented at ANA is groundbreaking because there is little to no information on vaping’s relationship to cognitive function, such as learning, memory, problem-solving, critical thinking...

New Drug Pricing Policy Could Raise Costs for Millions LOVE YOUR MONEY!!! (CNBNews graphic file) By Ken Thorpe Healthcare costs are one of Americans' top concerns as we head into election season.
