Lower drug pricing does not follow from an expansion of innovative medicine indications, according to Dutch researchers. They claim pharma companies often fail to pass on their financial gain to patients and health services. If more patients are prescribed a certain medicine, the price could be reduced because pharmaceutical companies can recoup the research costs incurred more quickly, researchers from Erasmus University Rotterdam and the Erasmus Medical Centre Rotterdam claim. This finding emerges from their study published in the peer-reviewed PLoS ONE journal last February. The study considers the possible financial effects of a broader use of two cancer drugs, pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and daratumumab (Darzalex), which have already been approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US. “Pharmaceutical companies are responsible for their own pricing strategy; it is not up to academics to dictate what exact price reduction to accept,” study first author Renaud Heine told Euractiv. However, when asked about the potential of this new pricing method, the Dutch Association for Innovative Medicines (VIG), which is a member of EFPIA, cited arguments raised by economics professor Lieven Annemans that the proposed model change does not value true innovation and that value-based pricing remains more appropriate. Indication broadening and pricing Heine explained they aimed to study the effect of indication broadening on price when applying cost-based pricing (CBP). “Our results indicate that cost-based prices drop consistently after indication broadening and are below known list prices,” he said. Building on the CBP model developed by two researchers, Uyl-de Groot and Löwenberg, in 2018, the research group explored price changes of these medicines if there was a continuous indication expansion. Both drugs are immuno-oncology drugs. Pembrolizumab was first used for only one type of tumour, but now it is prescribed for approximately 35 different indications for various types of tumours. Daratumumab was initially used for one type of cancer, multiple myeloma. It is now prescribed for eight other indications within multiple myeloma. While development costs for new drugs can be significantly high for the first indication, they become lower with each expansion of use in new indications. However, this financial gain for pharmaceutical companies is often not passed on to society despite the lower costs, the researchers say.

Ted Wheeler sees the Byers and says, “Thank god you folks are back. Between the two of these kids, I thought I was going to have to take out a second mortgage just to afford my phone bill,” and has absolutely no idea the chaos he has just unleashed.
#I’ve probably made this joke before but it’s my fav Ted Wheeler headcanon#fun fact I had to research for this post: even if the byers ain’t answer it still would have cost hella money if he was calling all the time#and mans had to call the phone operator to make the call long distance#he was putting in the work#byler#mike wheeler#i know what you are#will byers#stranger things

I think Aventio and Screwtio shippers shouldn't fight. After all, Ratio has two hands!
That's right. Two hands.
One for his chalk.
One for his codex.
Both of which he's holding in an embarrassed death grip as they chat away with each other about him.
#I'm on to something here#screwtio#aventio#hsr aventurine#veritas ratio#dr ratio#screwllum#hsr#honkai star rail#now as a disclaimer I'm not personally a huge fan of aventio#exclusively because i think they are so SO much funnier as gay friends#but something about combining the two clicks really well to me#Aventurine and Screwllum would be pretty fantastic metamours i think#they'd have a lot of fun playing off each other#but also Screwllum being there to dispute Aventurine's doubts over whether or not Ratio cares as a verified outside perspective#listing off shit like upticks in heartrate pupil dialation etc on top of being like#he talks about you fondly he knows your favorite things i can personally attest that you are very evidently important to him#stuff Aventurine can't easily write off when coming from not only an outside perspective but also a literal Genius#and on the flip side Aventurine would finally have someone other than Ratio and the Trailblazer he can talk to with relative ease#someone who has also been through a frankly incredibly traumatizing historical event#someone who is also under constant pressure to perform a certain way#someone who has gained wealth and power at the cost of carrying responsibilities on his shoulders and never being truly free#appearing free to anyone who glances but neither of them really are#Screwllum seemingly able to freely pursue whatever research he wants but ultimately permanently shackled with his titles#and public pressure to be the perfect poised representative for all of inorganic kind#forever treading the line of being both a desirable ally and a sufficient threat that you wouldn't want to cross him#and similarly Aventurine stuck in his cycle that he feels only death can free him from of gambling with his life on the line#because the IPC basically owns him#because let's be honest Jade's offer was just a lifetime labor contract he couldn't refuse#granted the illusion of freedom through gaining money and power but never truly free

always enjoyed the Chess Set In The Foreground perspective framing used here
now also noting like, huh, a chess set in a general store just visited by marigold competitors who killed one of their guys and are now on the way back from their rendezvous point w/suppliers
#and now to take a big sip of ''nothing suggests lackadaisy ft. people stuck / things repeating / death begetting death''#not like i suppose we're going to be hit with ''& then mordecai and viktor sat down at the defiance field office for every passing gangster#played chess and then went and properly slaughtered the lackadaisy crew and arbogasts at the funeral home / barn w/car-sized holes''#good reminder though that Viktor Is Now Active....left off with elsa managing to give him a phonecall; for good measure#lackadaisy#i have no lengthy Mitzi Mordecai Murder Mystery Musings posts for today (b/c not enough fresh musing insights) but no prommies#epiphanies are on their own schedule#quite the chess piece arrangement seen there too lol. can't tell if there's any Classic Configuration in the game b/w viktor & mordecai#not a chesshead and never was lol strategy games??? who's that#or i'll play them but not strategically. invented Flick Chess for indoor recess in elementary school#you flick a piece across the board and whatever you knock off the board = you took those pieces lmfao#though not like that has Zero strategy. thinking of my day enjoying tiddlywinks research#imagine my delight revisiting all this material like oh yeah the little pic of freckle tiddlywinking#let's squop; boys#i'm also supposing that chess sets? checkers sets? and etc. would be common general store features; like phone usage....real general....#but like; what; are we expecting this Not to bring a response from marigold lol#got the nervous twitch but they're like ''ah it's fine. cost of doing business''

can you guys please for the love of christ start checking the bio of someone who has posted a dumbass take to make sure they aren't an actual child before you decide to do sick dunks on them to your audience of thousands
#yes this is about the maus post on twitter#they were 17#and seem to have learned an important lesson about researching before kneejerk posting#at the cost of thousands of people my own age qrting and telling them to self harm#this is what i mean when i said kids aren't allowed to make fools of themselves online anymore#if this happened on a forum of 100 users in 2005 they would just be corrected and it would be forgotten#'Well i wouldnt have made that mistake when i was 17' good for you im sure you made no mistakes ever

espresso needing to weigh the moral pros and cons of the research he wants to conduct and shadow milk is just floating there like DO IT
(he's gonna do it 'cause that stupid blonde jock likes him a whole lot for reasons he cannot understand)
#cookie run#shadow milk cookie#espresso cookie#madeleine cookie#espresseleine#creme university au#the second image comes first technically but it is fun to imagine espresso thinking about that moment#and it being part of the motivation for him to say yes#it isn't as bad as it looks i promise#shadow milk just radiates this air about him that makes everything feel sus#in truth espresso is agreeing to continue his research under supervision#and maybe figure out how to do forbidden magic without the actual COST of doing forbidden magic#since espresso has already been bit by it once and shadow milk is like HELLO NOT ON MY WATCH IDIOT#shadow milk is a good professor i promise#espresso is so smart until he isn't and it is almost always madeleine's fault#he keeps stealing espresso's braincells

my least favourite thing from the watcher discourse has been people saying “WE never asked for higher quality” or “your most popular shows are where you just sit around and talk!!” - babes its likely not what THEY want to do for the rest of eternity lol. they’re allowed to want to grow as creatives and make things they are proud of?
#like i absolutely didn’t agree with their move to a paid model platform but this response isn’t the criticism u think it is#that and also the continious shit i saw about steven owning a tesla#like babes its HIS money? he’s allowed nice things and upgrades in his life lol?#AND the stuff about them making 100k from patreon with eat the rich comments#100k per month likely doesn’t cover all operating costs like you guys r thinking it does#they likely didn’t want to keep doing ad reads that interrupted their content structure and how they THEMSELVES percieved its value#as a former business major tho i def think even a little bit of market research could have stopped this lol#respectfully no one wants to pay for another thing#and the communication on it was unfortunately shit#but its not that big of a mistake that we tear em down like this#watcher#ryan bergara#shane madej#steven lim

My brother recently got into Demon Slayer so I wanted to make a kny oc for him since I did it before with both me and my sister and never got around to my brother :)
But I started by refreshing my own design because wow?? It’s been 4 years since I first made my kny insert character and a lot of things are now outdated! Not to mention my art has improved a lot, I hope. More details under the cut!
Meet Ebisu Koharu: youngest of the Ebisu family and physically the weakest. They only barely passed Final Selection by hiding for the entire week and surviving off tips from their older siblings. Nonetheless, they still want to contribute, which is why they hold onto a thick, leather bound book that records every demon they’ve ever met in precise detail, with labeled diagrams and scribbled calculations in the margins of different strengths and weaknesses.
After spending a few years on the job, and properly seeing their data contribute to the successes of other demon slayers, they’ve come a bit more into their own as a competent researcher and fighter, though they still do tend to request paired missions with friends and family to act more as a support role rather than a fighter.
The Ebisu family is one of scholars. The eldest daughter Kaoru is a doctor, and the eldest son Shougen is a chemist. By nature, fighting is not necessarily their strong suit, which is why their family breathing style and techniques are all poison-assisted. Of the three, Koharu is the weakest and most averse to combat— they wield a short half-length blade, with more of a smooth ceremonial hilt and sheath than any practical weapon.
#kny oc#kimetsu no yaiba#demon slayer#it’s so much fun seeing my brother be so late to the party for kny lmao#I love him but his takes are kind of shit ngl.#his character will be absolutely hilarious to do as well#because you better believe I’m going to lean far into how much he simps for giyu#looking for names is so much more fun when I can read some kana and am not using google translate#I found out that the combination of me and my sister’s names form kanari which i will not stop thinking about for ages#four years of improvement and four years of character development! Better character design and research skills#it’s a lot of fun thinking more about details when designing now#I.e. brushes are wildly impractical tools for writing on the go so koharu’s main choice of stationery is an imported fountain pen that cost#a decent amount of their savings#and they wanted their records to last longer so they also invested in a proper leather bound journal (also imported) rather than#a normal string bound book like their normal daily journal. this is also why the books open in different directions#in the event that their fountain pen breaks they Will Cry but they will also commit the details to memory and write them in with a bruh#with a brush after the battle ends

honestly my favorite part of albrechts notes is the casual mention of the fact that getting so high they get sick is part of their scientific process
#andro talks#warframe#witw spoilers#space weed aids in research#genuinely incredible#its funny when you think about it#space weed also doomed the universe#because albrecht figured out what interests the indifference while high as fuck#and cuddling with loid apparently#we win#but at what cost? (the horrors)

You know, even ignoring the whole "vampirism can be cured" thing, if we want a spell or enchanted item that lets vampires walk in the sun and dodge other weaknesses and drawbacks I'm pretty sure Gale - prodigy who caught the eye of the Mother of Magic as a child, had to be told he can't teach every specialisation, archwizard - can just... make one? Even if he's not recovered enough from having his magic stripped to cast a spell himself, he knows the theory well enough to lay the foundations for somebody else to cast.
Like, magic is basically a science, all spells were researched and created by a wizard at some point. Magic that protects vampires from the sun already exists in BG canon. This is perfectly achievable.
I think Gale would have a great time puzzling it over and infodumping about it.
The price is that Astarion has to get a migraine forcing his dead braincells to pay attention.
#Or we could just consult the Church of Azuth; magical research and expanding magic is their Thing#If needs be we shall simply manipulate another high level spellcaster#Elminster kinda owes us a favour right?#Can we blackmail Alustriel or Blackstaff somehow?#I wonder if Halaster could be convinced... the cost would probably be hilarious#babbling#/astarion#/gale

plybe partnering to sell V3 caratbongs at select targets... why do I feel like they still have a big stock of V3s that they haven't been able to sell until now 😂
#honestly this will probably work somewhat#like casual fans in the us who havent bought a light stick#bc its not worth the shipping costs or just didnt even bother to look online for it#might see it in store and think 'oh its right here why not?'#especially if theyre being sold before tour dates#i still hope they continue to sell as slowly as possible so next time plybe wants to sell a new version they learn their lesson#and actually do market research on what carats want <3#i still think it would have been smart if the V3 was the same design as V2 but with updated tech ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#melia.txt
