Brian Niederhauser, Chief Operations Officer, RevecoreRevenue cycles always reflect broader healthcare pressures. When labor levels were more abundant and reimbursement rates were higher, a people-focused model made sense. Currently, neither such situation exists. What remains are structural problems that cannot be solved simply by hiring more people and tightening workflows.Median operating margins for health systems will remain near 1% through 2025¹, with expenses growing at about 6% annually, while revenue growth is only 3%. ² For CFOs looking to protect cash flow in this environment, revenue cycle is no longer a back-office function to manage. This is a strategic measure…

Written by Andrew Crook, Senior Advisor, and John Hillery, Director of New Product Development, Tally, Inc.It is becoming commonplace to talk about AI in breath-taking terms: revolution, transformation, labor market disruption, once-in-a-generation change. Considering the revenue cycle, this may sound more like a warning than a promise. Financial leaders are right not to jump in blindly. There are unanswered questions about compliance and information security risks, concerns that the audit trail will become a “black box,” and how serious the impact of “illusions” on quality and collection processes will be. Some leaders believe that seeing others act first helps improve…

Approximately one in five people who suffer from migraines also experience restless leg syndrome, which is approximately twice the prevalence observed in the general population. This increase in frequency is very noticeable among patients who endure chronic headaches and migraines with visual auras. A meta-analysis detailing these patterns was published in the Journal of Sleep Research. Migraine is a neurological disorder characterized by repeated attacks of throbbing head pain, often accompanied by nausea and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Restless legs syndrome is a sensorimotor condition defined by an overwhelming urge to move the lower extremities. Patients usually experience…

Hoover Dam is the Colorado River’s largest hydroelectric power plant, but rural Nevada communities that rely on the dam’s low-cost power are facing a cliff as water levels in the reservoir continue to drop toward disastrous levels. Lake Mead is projected to fall below a critical threshold of 1,035 feet above sea level within the next 12 months, at which point Hoover Dam’s hydroelectric capacity will be reduced from 1,302 megawatts to just 382 megawatts, a significant 70% reduction. When Lake Mead’s water level falls below that threshold, more than a dozen older turbines not designed to operate at low…

New research suggests Europe could spend more than €100bn (£85bn) a year remediating PFAS pollution while capturing less than 2% of current emissions. 1 Researchers say their findings reinforce the need to prioritize reducing PFAS use and emissions at the source, rather than trying to clean up pollution after it has occurred. PFAS are a class of anthropogenic chemicals used in industrial and consumer products such as flame retardants and nonstick cookware, and their persistence in the environment has been linked to cancer and thyroid dysfunction in humans. Historically, PFAS production has focused on long-chain compounds such as perfluorooctanoic acid…

Astronomers have observed for the first time the birth of a magnetar, a type of rapidly rotating neutron star that is extremely magnetic. This groundbreaking discovery confirms that these exotic objects can power some of the brightest stellar explosions ever seen. The discovery also validates a theory first proposed by physicists at the University of California, Berkeley 16 years ago, and reveals a newly recognized feature of certain exploding stars: a distinctive “chirp” in their light that can only be explained using Einstein’s theory of general relativity.研究は雑誌に掲載されました nature. 超光度超新星は、宇宙で最も壮観な爆発の 1 つであり、通常の超新星よりも 10 倍以上明るく輝きます。 Ever since astronomers first saw them in…

Thirty years of data from seven developed countries show that while the differences in blood pressure and cholesterol between older adults with obesity and those with a normal BMI are narrowing, younger people with obesity continue to face increased cardiometabolic risks. Study: Metabolic characteristics of obesity and normal BMI in developed countries: a multi-country analysis of national population-based studies. Image credit: Victor Moussa/Shutterstock.com In recent research, lancet They compared blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and use of antihypertensive and lipid-lowering drugs between obese and normal BMI people in developed countries. Global trends in obesity and cardiovascular risk factors Obesity rates have…

PrepALL-pP8G: Advances in single-cell proteomics automation As an extension of the PrepALL platform, PrepALL-pP8G extends its application to the field of single-cell proteomics, primarily for sample pretreatment. A key characteristic of the PrepALL platform is its inherent flexibility, allowing seamless integration with external devices to extend the scope of applications. PrepALL-pP8G is a prime example. Designed to highly automate and streamline complex proteomics workflows, this system combines thermal inkjet printing technology with high-precision, ultra-low volume dispensing to enable a fully integrated workflow from single cell sorting to proteomics sample preparation. Official launch in Europe is scheduled for later this year.…

Corporate Satellite Symposium Highlights Clinical Genomics, Precision Oncology, and Spatial Multi-omics As part of ESHG 2026, MGI hosted a Corporate Satellite Symposium. Advances in diagnostics: from clinical implementation to biomarker discoverybrings together leading experts from across Europe to showcase how advanced genomic technologies are impacting real-world clinical and research practices. The symposium focused on applications across clinical tumor diagnostics, pharmacogenomics, and spatial multi-omics. Dr. Raquel T. Lima from IPATIMUP (Portugal) presented the clinical value of RNA sequencing to detect actionable gene fusions in solid tumors, improve diagnostic yield, and support accurate oncology decision-making. Professor Andreas Braun from Schleswig-Holstein University Hospital,…

Launching Go Spatial for scalable spatial biology Go Spatial is built on MGI’s Stereo-seq technology to support centimeter-scale fields of view and high-resolution spatial transcriptomics across oncology, neuroscience, immunology, infectious diseases, plant biology, and developmental biology. This workflow streamlines post-imaging sample preparation from RNA capture to cDNA with minimal hands-on time for both fresh-frozen and FFPE samples, processing up to 12 cm2 of fresh-frozen tissue or 8 cm2 of FFPE tissue per day. At STOC 2026, MGI will also be showcasing the StereoLink and Stereo-seq OMNI Large Chip Design for FFPE samples. StereoLink simplifies tissue transfer to the Stereo-seq chip,…
