Examining the benefits of out-of-network care for pediatric moyamoya

Total in-episode expenses and resource use before the index surgery (preop) and including/after the surgery (postop). The comparisons are separated for analysis into (A) single institution cohorts (1 and 2) and (B) multi‐institution cohorts (3 and 4). Credits: Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology (2024). DOI: 10.1161/SVIN.123.001014 Moyamoya disease is a rare condition that affects the blood vessels in the brain, especially in children. Narrowing and blockage of vessels significantly increases the risk of stroke and requires surgical revascularization for treatment. Although research shows that outcomes of revascularization are better at high-volume centers, insurers often hesitate to approve out-of-network care. However,…

Entanglement of nanophotonic quantum memory nodes in a telecom network

Distributing quantum entanglement between quantum memory nodes separated by extended distances1,4 is an important element for the realization of quantum networks, enabling potential applications ranging from quantum repeaters2,5 and long-distance secure communication6,7 to distributed quantum computing8,9 and distributed quantum sensing and metrology10,11. Proposed architectures require quantum nodes containing multiple long-lived qubits that can collect, store and process information communicated by photonic channels based on telecommunication (telecom) fibres or satellite-based links. In particular, the abilities to herald on successful photon arrival events and to detect quantum-gate errors are central to scalable implementations. As photons and individual matter qubits interact weakly in…

Fiber optic network being installed around Ladysmith

“A fiber-optic internet connection offers superior performance, reliability, and security” By Duck Paterson It has taken some time but Ladysmith is about to break through into a new cyber era. For the past month crews from Gray Wolf Communications have been working throughout the community installing new cable either underground in existing services or along existing poles in local neighbourhoods. According to Robert Toal, director of planning and engineering for F3 Networks Canada, the crew are working for F3 Networks installing fiber optic cable to build a network that will be capable of reaching most homes and businesses. “F3 Networks…

Inside the Secret Network Behind a Democratic Congressman’s Bribery Scandal

The Daily Beast has discovered previously unreported details behind the clandestine network that prosecutors say funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes to US Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX). The network’s sprawling roots stretch from a consulate at the edge of Los Angeles to the glittering capital of a despotic ex-Soviet regime, and from the DC foreign aid complex near Foggy Bottom to a hydroponic farm in Maryland that supplied Georgetown’s leading bipartisan hangouts. The bribery indictment of the Texas congressman describes, among other things, how the congressman allegedly struck a deal for his wife to receive $360,000 in “sham…

ANNOUNCING: Only Vans with Bri Bagwell Joins BGS Podcast Network
