A provision in the Inflation Reduction Act that allows Medicare to negotiate prices on the costliest prescription drugs each year will likely save the U.S. billions of dollars — as long as the drug industry doesn't interfere, according to a study published Friday in JAMA Health Forum. Beginning in 2026, Medicare will begin negotiating the price of 10 drugs that cost the federal government the most money, followed by 15 more drugs in 2027, another 15 drugs in 2028, and another 20 drugs in each subsequent year.

Working from home often pays more than working in an office for jobs in the tech industry, new research has claimed. HR company Remote collected data on more than six million jobs ads from 2022 from employee resource Glassdoor and found that web developer and software engineering roles had the most amount of remote opportunities compared to other professions, making up 37% and 36% of the total remote job market respectively.

A Harvard University study has pinpointed the precise number of times men should ejaculate each month in order to stave off certain harmful diseases. Research published in the journal European Urology has indicated that high levels of sexual activity can reduce the risk of contracting prostate cancer.

New clinical trial finds inexpensive over-the-counter aspirin is just as effective as an injectable blood thinner, low-molecular-weight heparin, to prevent life-threatening blood clots.

A new study has found that children from disadvantaged families tend to sleep less, and that this lack of sleep is linked to reduced cortical thickness in areas related to language, self-control, and movement. Cortical thickness refers to the measurement of the thickness of the cerebral cortex, the outermost layer of the brain. It is often used as an indicator of brain development and maturation, and can be measured using imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

The new approach would simplify vaccination guidance so that, every fall, people would get a new shot, updated to try to match whatever variant is dominant.

Since the 1990s, several architectures have been drafted for crewed missions to Mars, all of which have emphasized the need for keeping launch mass low. Suggestions for how this could be accomplished include inflatable modules. But as Dr. Jin emphasized in her proposal, the physical structures used to outfit the inflatable modules cannot be carried by a crewed spacecraft and generally require a second vehicle to launch them. This is a logistical challenge for missions and drastically increases launch costs.
