An executive order from the Trump administration has reintroduced the “most favored nation” (MFN) policy, which aims to cut drug costs by aligning U.S. prices with those of other countries. The mandate lacks specifics on execution and enforcement, injecting even more uncertainty into the pharmaceutical market
An executive order from the Trump administration has reintroduced the “most favored nation” (MFN) policy, which aims to cut drug costs by aligning U.S. prices with those of other countries. The mandate lacks specifics on execution and enforcement, injecting even more uncertainty into the pharmaceutical market. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has 30 days to define how the policy will work in practice. At first, compliance by pharma manufacturers will be voluntary, but…
Verified Clinical Trials helps sponsors detect duplicate and professional subjects, and other important protocol violations.
In today’s rapidly evolving clinical research landscape, one of the most critical—and often overlooked—threats to trial success is the enrollment of duplicate subjects and professional research participants. These individuals, who often enroll in multiple trials simultaneously or serially without appropriate washout periods, can significantly compromise data integrity, subject safety, and the overall success of a clinical study. For more than a decade, Verified Clinical Trials (VCT) has led the industry in both detecting and preventing duplicate subjects and professional research participants through its comprehensive Research Subject Database Registry. Used in over 4…
Krems, Austria, 3 June 2025 – Metal screws are indispensable in bone surgery, but they can fail under everyday stress. Now, a new study shows that the risk of failure can be predicted before implantation based on detailed measurements of bone structure. Using high-resolution micro-CT scans, a team of researchers analysed 100 bone samples under ten different load scenarios and identified two key factors that explain up to 90% of the variation in stability. The study, led by Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences (KL Krems), thus provides a model for numerous orthopaedic procedures, allowing screws to be implanted more reliably and helping to avoid subsequent complications.
Orthopaedic screws stabilise fractures and ensure proper cohesion of bone fragments. Despite their key role, com…
