- PET Market Research Available
for Purchase
- Marketing Relevance surveyed over
1,000 oncologists, primary care physicians, and medical imaging
providers regarding their use of PET scanning for the diagnosis
and staging of cancer. Among the findings of the study,
there are significant gaps in the awareness of clinical support
among referring physicians. Also, while financial reimbursement
exists for PET scanning, a large number of surveyed physicians
were not aware of the reimbursement standards leading to potential
underutilization.

- The Pharmacy Education Aid Act
of 2003
- the United States Senate passed
important legislation that will take steps towards alleviating the
current shortage of pharmacists. S.648, the Pharmacy Education
Aid Act of 2003, provides loan repayment funds for
pharmacists who agree to practice in areas with a critical
shortage of pharmacists or who agree to serve as faculty at a
school of pharmacy. APhA looks forward to working with
members of the House to secure passage of similar legislation.”

Enrico Fermi (fûr'me)
(1901–54)
|
|
|
Nuclear physicist, born
in Rome, Italy. He studied at Pisa, Göttingen, and
Leyden, and became professor of theoretical physics
at Rome in 1927. In 1934 he and his colleagues
split a number of nuclei by bombardment with
neutrons, for which he was awarded the 1938 Nobel
Prize for Physics. He did not return to Italy from
his Nobel Prize presentation in Stockholm because
the Italian anti-Semitic Laws affected his Jewish
wife, but became professor at Columbia University
(1939). He played a prominent part in developing
atomic energy, and constructed the first US nuclear
reactor (1942). He produced the first controlled
nuclear chain reaction at the University of Chicago
on Dec. 2, 1942 in a volleyball field situated
beneath the University of Chicago's sports stadium. |
