    Using a generative computer modeling technique, a multi-university team has developed a method to identify genetic markers of autism from brain images with 89% to 95% accuracy (the article does not explain the range). Currently, autism is diagnosed based on its complex behavioral presentation. What’s particularly interesting about the algorithm—beyond the identification of non-behavioral markers—is how it tracks molecular movement to produce a new visualization and model for analysis. 

    Most machine learning approaches to image pattern analysis focus on single-pattern recognition. This is useful for identifying positive cases but is even more valuable for negatives, as it helps rule out patterns that don’t require further diagnostic attention. However, this new algorithm compiles images to create an entirely new dataset.

    It's not a balanced article, nor is it meant to be. But if everything is true, it describes a massive looting operation. $1.2 billion in post-takeover asset sales, cash is siphoned off, and then the company is shut down through bankruptcy. They called it an "asset-light" model, supposedly designed to "prioritize patient care." Yet, not one, but two yachts.

    Patient Satisfaction – An Unreliable and Dangerous Measure – RACmonitor

    Opinion piece that highlights some of the provable dangers and manipulative effects of measuring patient satisfaction as a meaningful care indicator. “Hospital Discharge: Patients who received flowers <from the practice> had higher Press Ganey survey scores than patients who did not receive flowers”. Patient engagement and compliance with treatment regime is a more effective measure of customer interaction in a health care setting.
