Patient safety: How to reduce diagnostic errors
Synapse
Have you ever driven on a familiar route without remembering how exactly you arrived at your destination? We are creatures of habit, and it is not unlikely that physicians may utilize habitual knowledge in making medical diagnoses.

3-D printing and its impact on the medical implant industry
By Hannah Whiteoak
 As this 3-D printing develops, it is finding an ever-greater range of applications in a variety of fields. One area where 3-D printing could truly change lives is in the manufacturing of medical implants. From artificial bone and joint replacements to prosthetic body parts and life-saving pacemakers, medical implants restore quality of life to people who have been affected by injury or illness. Researchers all over the world are working on developing new implants that are produced using 3-D printing. This highly-flexible manufacturing technique could massively improve the range and quality of implants that are available.

Has healthcare embraced a hit-and-run strategy?
Forbes
Sovaldi is off to the races — the biggest and most successful drug launch, by far, in the history of the industry.
