Models representing transitions from all-nebulized to nebulizer-plus-MDI respiratory medications resulted in cost savings, largely from the reduction of labor cost of nebulizer administration with nebs-only treatment. Therefore, transitioning from nebs to MDIs can lead to cost savings and could allow greater opportunities for inhaler education.

Enhancing Ophthalmic Care: The Transformative Potential of Digital Twins in Healthcare.
Cureus
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Broward Health, Fort Lauderdale, USA.
This literature review explores the emerging role of digital twin (DT) technology in ophthalmology, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize personalized medicine. DTs integrate diverse data sources, including genetic, environmental, and real-time patient data, to create dynamic, predictive models that enhance risk assessment, surgical planning, and postoperative care. The review highlights vital case studies demonstrating the application of DTs in improving the early detection and management of diseases such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration.

Background: In a recent prospective, multicenter, two-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT), we demonstrated that adjunctive reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) in routine clinical practice provides clinical benefits, including safe melanoma detection and a 43.3% reduction in the number needed to excise (NNE).
Methods: A cost-benefit analysis was conducted based on NNEs for standard care (5.
Cost-minimization analysis of the GORTEC 2014-04 randomized phase II study of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) or chemotherapy-SABR in oligometastatic head and neck cancer.

Purpose: The randomized phase II GORTEC 2014-04 and French Head and Neck Intergroup study showed deeper deterioration of the quality of life (HRQoL) and dramatically higher severe toxicity rates with similar overall survival rates using chemo-SABR compared to SABR alone in oligometastatic head and neck cancer (HNSCC) patients. We evaluated the costs associated with SABR-alone versus chemo-SABR and their associated costs (transportation, hospitalizations, etc).
Materials And Methods: 69 HNSCC patients with 1-3 oligometastases and a controlled primary were randomized from September 2015 to October 2022.
Utility of Guideline-Directed Therapy on Mortality and Readmissions in Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Heart Failure Patients.
Cardiol Rev

Division of Cardiology Brooklyn, New York Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, Weill Cornel Medical College, NY.
Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) represents a significant public health challenge, affecting millions worldwide with high morbidity and mortality rates. Admissions due to HFrEF impose a considerable financial burden on patients and healthcare systems. Guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) has emerged as a proven strategy to reduce morbidity and mortality in heart failure (HF) patients.

Solar photovoltaic (PV) is critical for achieving the 2030 global target of tripling renewable power capacity. Over the past two decades, the global supply chain has significantly reduced the cost of solar PV products enabling widespread adoption. However, many countries are now implementing decoupling measures to enhance supply chain security and boost local economies.
