Excited to share our new review on Imaging in Neuro-oncology We outline core & advanced MRI techniques, amino acid PET, RANO criteria, and where radiomics & AI are taking the field. Imaging remains central to precision neuro-oncology

ICYMI - Our @NEJM Perspective argues that federal restrictions on Emergency Medicaid could restrict care for immigrants and strain safety-net hospitals. Preserving state flexibility is both fiscally smart and morally necessary

Emergency Medicaid at Risk — Preserving State Authority and Access to Care | NEJM
States that use federal dollars to provide health care to unauthorized immigrants, beyond narrowly defined emergency services, will now face enforcement actions and potential recoupment of funds.

Financial toxicity screening helps identify patients in need—but most still struggle to get help. In our new study, 81% of patients screening positive didn’t receive an intervention, underscoring the need for stronger infrastructure & policy reform.

Our
@nejm.org
perspective is now available - in it, we argue for the need for state flexibility in Emergency Medicaid. It's only a tiny percentage of overall Medicaid spending, is cost-effective, and helps sustain our safety net hospitals.
