New drugs are often used not only for one disease (first approved indication) but also for other diseases (supplemental indications). But a study published by The BMJ today finds that less than half of approved first indications for new drugs in the US and Europe between 2011 and 2020 add substantial therapeutic value over existing treatments and only around a third of supplemental approvals add substantial therapeutic value compared with first approvals. The researchers argue that when first or supplemental indications do not offer added benefit over existing treatments, this information should be clearly communicated to patients and reflected in the price of the drugs.

Discoveries by West Virginia University forensic scientists about how gunshot residue behaves on skin, hair and fabric will allow crime scene investigators to catch up to the proliferation of new, eco-friendly types of ammunition and make faster, more informed decisions at crime scenes and in forensic laboratories. Lead and other toxic components of ammunition are crucial in establishing the presence of gunshot residue, or GSR, at crime scenes. However, heavy metals like lead aren't present in new "green" ammunitions that are changing the rules for GSR analysis, according to Tatiana Trejos , associate professor in the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences Department of Forensic and Investigative Science .

First published MAR 6, 2023 Updated 45 minutes ago Podcast: The Detail New Zealand's mapping of underground infrastructure is increasingly inaccurate.  The Detail  finds out how new technology could help us better understand what lies beneath - and prevent unnecessary outages, delays and cost blowouts. For decades we've been looking at what sits on top of the land: new stadiums, much needed housing, bigger airports.  Two devastating storms and a cyclone have changed that.   Now the spotlight is on the hidden world of what lies beneath - and what's on the maps of utility providers and councils around the country is often a far cry from the reality of infrastructure under our feet.

Astronomers using data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have identified carbon dioxide on the icy surface of Jupiter's moon Europa - one of a handful of worlds in our solar system that could potentially harbor conditions suitable for life. Previous research had shown that beneath Europa's water-ice crust lies a salty ocean of liquid water with a rocky seafloor. However, planetary scientists had not confirmed if that ocean contained the chemicals needed for life, particularly carbon. This new analysis indicates that the carbon dioxide likely originated in the subsurface ocean and was not delivered by meteorites or other external sources.

The campaign's goal is not about making a bold brand turnaround, but to create a cohesive corporate identity that can help enhance consumers' recognition of the traditional home appliances maker, Kim Hyo-eun, vice president at the company's global marketing center, said in a recent interview with Yonhap News Agency.
