Rice University says new implant could lower cost of popular weight loss drugs
SUMMARY: Rice University is collaborating on a groundbreaking implant designed to enhance medication adherence for obesity and type 2 diabetes drugs, potentially lowering costs. The implant, called Rogue, is finger-tip sized and acts as an on-demand drug delivery system, aiming to reduce annual costs to under $11,000. Developed by researcher Omid Vasa, this minimally invasive device communicates with a smartphone app, allowing for precise control of dosing without the need for frequent injections. The implant could remain effective for a year, significantly simplifying drug management and improving accessibility for patients, while also addressing the rising costs of current therapies.

Tracking the tropics: Hurricane Erin intensifies to Category 5
SUMMARY: Hurricane Erin has rapidly intensified to a Category 5 storm with winds of 160 mph and pressure at 917 millibars, moving west at 17 mph north of the Leeward Islands.

Erin is expected to weaken to Category 4 near Florida, then move northeast over the Atlantic, possibly affecting Bermuda.
