"Biosimilars bring competition and lower costs to patient-critical treatments,” said Bruce Feinberg, chief medical officer and vice president of Cardinal Health. "In order to deliver on the promise of these drugs from a health equity standpoint, we must continue to analyze prescriber awareness and familiarity. Through our research, Cardinal Health seeks to understand prescribers’ perceptions and what other factors are moving the industry forward—from business and financial decisions to provider adoption.”
Cardinal Health surveyed more than 350 providers across rheumatology, gastroenterology, dermatology and ophthalmology. The responses offer new analysis, insights into market growth, drivers of adoption, and obstacles that remain in the market. The new report also includes an updated analysis of biosimilar market adoption and key milestones achieved throughout 2022, and highlights how policy and updated formulary announcements may impact patient access of these critical therapeutics.
In addition to general provider perceptions, this report provides in-depth analysis of how up to 10 HumiraTM (adalimumab) biosimilars launching in 2023 may affect the market with provider input on the most important product attributes for each therapeutic area (e.g. latex and citrate-free solutions).

Scientists use satellite images to study the degradation of rangelands in Tanzania
2023-02-22
East Africa’s iconic rangelands - under threat from climate change and human activity - have the potential to recover from repeated environmental shocks and degradation, a new study has concluded.
Covering 47% of the Earth’s land surface, rangelands are home to one third of the global population, many of whom are pastoralists who depend on the savannahs to meet their daily need for shelter, water and food.
But because rangelands develop in semi-arid areas and are primarily used for grazing, they are highly vulnerable to changes in rainfall and human pressures.
As part of the study, published ...
Population-scaled, school-based physical activity intervention can help prevent childhood obesity
2023-02-22
ROCKVILLE, Md.— A new Slovenian population-scaled, school-based study shows that by providing additional physical education lessons to young children is effective in preventing childhood obesity, according to findings published in Obesity, The Obesity Society’s (TOS) flagship journal.
“Our results show the importance of sustainable, long-lasting, physical activity programs set in schools for children’s health at both the individual and the population level. While this study analysed only the effectiveness of such program for obesity prevention, physical activity programs are likely to benefit ...
Children born after induced labour score lower in school tests 12 years later
2023-02-22
Inducing labour, in a low-risk pregnancy, can have long-term consequences on the child's cognitive development. Research from the Amsterdam UMC shows this based on pregnancy data and school performance at age 12 of 226,684 Dutch children. These results are published today in the journal AOGS.
By combining pregnancy data from the Dutch perinatal registration with data on school performance from Statistics Netherlands, researchers from Amsterdam UMC were able to study the potential effects of induced labour on school performance in low-risk pregnancies.
"We saw a small yet significant reduction in test scores for children born after ...
Which medications are best for treating acute low back pain?
2023-02-22
Acute low back pain is a common cause of disability. An analysis in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research examined which non-opioid drugs are best for treating this condition.
The analysis, which included all randomized controlled trials published to date (18 studies with 3,478 patients), showed that muscle relaxants and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) could effectively and rapidly reduce symptoms.
The combination of NSAIDs and paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen) was associated with a greater improvement than NSAIDs alone.
“This is a first step towards the optimization of the management of acute low back ...
How do companies’ climate change initiatives affect market value and greenhouse gas emissions?
2023-02-22
In an analysis published in the British Journal of Management that included 592 firms from 35 countries operating from 2002–2019, higher levels of greenhouse gas emissions were negatively associated with market value, whereas climate change initiatives were positively linked with market value.
Surprisingly, climate change initiatives were positively related to increased levels of greenhouse gas emissions. The presence of a board sustainability committee—which plays a crucial role in designing environmental initiatives and introducing best sustainability management practices—was also associated ...
Does a child’s mathematical ability have a genetic basis?
2023-02-22
A new study published in Genes, Brain and Behavior has identified several genetic variants that may be linked with mathematical abilities in children.
For the research, investigators performed genome-wide association studies on 11 mathematical ability categories in 1,146 students from Chinese elementary schools. They identified seven single nucleotide genetic variants in the genome that were strongly linked to mathematical and reasoning abilities.
Additional analyses revealed significant associations of three mathematical ...
Study supports previously identified links between bovine meat and milk factor protein expression and inflammation as possible cause of colorectal cancer
2023-02-22
Bovine meat and milk factors (BMMFs)—initially identified by de Villiers et al. in 2014—represent a class of infectious agents in beef and cow's milk that have been linked to the development of cancer. New research published in Molecular Oncology suggests that monitoring the presence and rate of expression of a BMMF-encoded replication protein (Rep) in inflammatory sites of the tissues may help identify individuals at risk for developing colorectal cancer subsequently after decades-long latency periods.
The study compared the presence of Rep and specific ...
Does electively induced labor in pregnancy affect a child’s future school performance?
2023-02-22
New research published in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica found that in women with uncomplicated pregnancies, elective induction of labor at any point between 37 and 41 weeks was consistently associated with lower school performance in children at age 12.
The analysis included 266,684 children born between 37 and 42 weeks from uncomplicated pregnancies in white women in the Netherlands. School performance scores at age 12 years were lower in those from pregnancies with induced labor at 37–41 weeks compared with those with uninduced labor. At 42 weeks, there was no significant difference in school performance between these groups.
The proportion ...
Ageing with Grace: New Health and Social Care Model for Older People in Thailand
2023-02-22
In several poorer countries, ageing populations and a lack of universal access to long-term care place the burden of care for older adults on their family. To mitigate this, researchers have successfully implemented a community-integrated intermediary care model in Thailand. This care service has proven effective in reducing caregiver burden and improving the functional ability and independence of seniors. The multi-pronged model includes care prevention activities, capacity-building for family caregivers, and community respite services.
Rapidly ageing populations are a problem that many ...
Can smart watches and other fitness and wellness trackers do more harm than good for some people?
2023-02-22
Philadelphia, February 22, 2023 – In recent years, wearable devices such as smartwatches and rings, as well as smart scales, have become ubiquitous – “must-haves” for the health conscious to self-monitor heart rate, blood pressure, and other vital signs. Despite the obvious benefits, certain fitness and wellness trackers could also pose serious risks for people with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) such as pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices, reports a new study published in Heart Rhythm, the official journal of the Heart Rhythm ...
