“Urology biopsy turnaround time: The target is to report 80% of diagnostic biopsy cases within 7 days, and 80% of all specimens within 10 days (except those requiring decalcification). ”

From May, 2019: ““The benefits of doing mpMRI is that fewer men will need to have a biopsy. We think that using MRI will mean a quarter of a million fewer men per year in Europe alone will need a biopsy. And there’s a million biopsies done each year in Europe.” Emberton says that using mpMRI will mean that fewer prostate cancers will be missed. And it will help to reduce the diagnosis of prostate cancers that would never have caused harm, so called overdiagnosis. ”

““PSA testing has unquestionably found cancers at an early stage so that we can cure them, but the problem has been overdetection and overtreatment,” he said. “Based on the findings of this study, mpMRI goes a long way towards avoiding overdetection, by missing out those Gleason 6s [the lowest grade prostate cancer].””

"the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has decided not to offer donanemab on the NHS, citing its “significant cost”."
“In recent weeks, experts have called for more new medicines to be made available on the NHS because this attracts more clinical trials and investment to the UK. Although the UK has a strong history in dementia research, it currently hosts just 7% of global dementia trials and under 3% of participants in phase 3 trials for dementia worldwide live here.”

“Attackers are using AI to automate reconnaissance and create realistic phishing content. They’re also developing polymorphic malware that constantly mutates to avoid detection and spread across multiple domains. These techniques amplify traditional tactics and make them harder to trace or contain. It’s no surprise that more than six in ten IT leaders see AI as a growing source of cybersecurity risk. 61% reported a clear rise in risk levels, while only 31% feel confident in their ability to manage these new kinds of attacks.”

“the Trust undertook a major transformation programme with the implementation of an electronic patient record (EPR). To ensure this was safe and successful it added that operational activity was reduced for a six-month period and, as a consequence, the number of operations and outpatient appointments was reduced. This in turn had a significant impact on waiting lists.”

“This “anti-fascist” lie has become the organizing rallying cry used by domestic terrorists to wage a violent assault against democratic institutions, constitutional rights, and fundamental American liberties. Common threads animating this violent conduct include anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality. As described in the Order of September 22, 2025 (Designating Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist Organization), the groups and entities that perpetuate this extremism have created a movement that embraces and elevates violence to achieve policy outcomes, including justifying additional assassinations. For example, Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin engraved the bullets used in the murder with so-called “anti-fascist” rhetoric. ”

“Richard Feynman opened a sealed safe at Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project using nothing but memory, intuition, and a borrowed screwdriver, then calmly handed out classified files to startled physicists to prove that the world’s most secure laboratory was not secure at all. He was supposed to focus on equations that would change history, yet he could not ignore the simple fact that the military treated secrecy like magic instead of engineering. Feynman overheard officers bragging about unbreakable locks. He asked for a copy of the combination system. No one gave it to him, so he studied the filing cabinets instead. He noticed scratches near common numbers, patterns in how physicists set combinations, and the lazy habit of choosing birthdays. Within weeks he opened dozens of safes across the lab with nothing but logic. He never stole anything. He left polite notes that read, “Please improve your security.” Some generals were furious. Others were terrified. Feynman kept telling them that the point of science was honesty, not ceremony.”
