Article Synopsis
- Studies show differences in characteristics and outcomes for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients based on whether they were treated in public or private hospitals in South Australia.
- A comprehensive study analyzed data from 3,470 mCRC patients, revealing that public hospital patients tend to have a higher burden of disease and receive less treatment compared to those in private hospitals.
- Results indicated that after adjustments, public patients had a shorter survival time by 1.33 months than private patients, highlighting disparities in care and outcomes.
With increasing knowledge of the materials science of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) and improvements in their properties and processing, they have started to become candidate materials for biomedical devices. A dichotomy in the types of medical applications has also emerged, in which some families of BMGs are being developed for permanent devices whilst another family - of Mg-based alloys - is showing promise in bioabsorbable implants. The current status of these metallurgical and technological developments is summarized.
