Every day, hospitals, insurers and clinics generate an enormous record of how medicines actually perform in ordinary patients: who took what, for how long, and what happened next. Randomised trials remain the gold standard, but they are expensive, slow and often never run for the head-to-head questions doctors care about most. The data to answer many of those questions already exists. The hard part is analysing it in a way that is rigorous, repeatable and trustworthy.

Real-World Evidence
Ultraviolet blood irradiation (UBI or UVB)
Blood irradiation therapy is a procedure in which the blood is exposed to low level red light (often laser light) for therapeutic reasons. Most research on blood irradiation therapy has been conducted in Germany, Russia and China, while smaller-scale research has been performed in other countries such as Britain. Blood irradiation therapy can be administered through a catheter in a vein, through the blood vessels inside the nose or applied externally through the skin. It is not related to the pr...

NASA’s Technology For Vision Algorithms To Catch Defects in Screen Displays
NASA has sent more than a few robotic missions into space, but it never loses sight of its goal to enable human exploration of the cosmos. A core component of planning for future manned missions is the Human Systems Integration Division, headquartered at Ames Research Center, which focuses on advancing our understanding of how people process information and interact with mechanical and electronic systems.
In 2013 Radiant Zemax introduced the ProMetric I Imaging Colorimeter, desi...

Liquidity Black Holes
Traders with short horizons and privately known loss limits interact in a market for a risky asset. Risk-averse, long horizon traders generate a downward sloping residual demand curve that faces the short-horizon traders. When the price falls close to the loss limits of the short horizon traders, selling of the risky asset by any trader increases the incentives for others to sell. Sales become mutually reinforcing among the short term traders, and payoffs analogous to a bank run are generated. A...
