...about $129,000. To get to that number, Stefanos Zenios and his colleagues at Stanford Graduate School of Business used kidney dialysis as a benchmark. Every year dialysis saves the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans who would otherwise die of renal failure while waiting for an organ transplant. It is also the one procedure that Medicare has covered unconditionally since 1972 despite rapid and sometimes expensive innovations in its administration. To tally the cost-effectiveness of such innovations Zenios and his colleagues ran a computer analysis of more than half a million patients who underwent dialysis, adding...

Gregory L. Fricchione, a professor of psychiatry at the Medical School, said he agrees with the findings presented in the article. “The resiliency that we have as human beings, as human organisms, is made up of these components...
...with humans—our conclusion would be that we either screwed up the analysis real badly or the sequence from the T. Rex wasn’t authentic and there was contamination from some of the workers that sequenced the proteins,” said Chris L. Organ, a postdoctoral fellow in organismic and evolutionary biology and a co-author of the study...
