The smartphone app Rejoyn, by Otsuka Pharmaceuticals, for people with at least moderate depression, was the first to be FDA cleared for mental health, even though it didn't fulfill the clinical trail's primary endpoint.

"Slumlord properties" tend to be located where surrounding conditions make it difficult, if not impossible, to attract higher rents and better-quality tenants. It may be in a neighborhood where surrounding properties have deteriorated; or road, railroad, or industrial noise is a problem; or in a high crime area. These factors make the property undesirable regardless of condition. Our advice: If you don't feel comfortable walking in the neighborhood and talking to the people who live there, don't invest. Avoid properties with undesirable surroundings. Instead, buy undesirable properties with superior surroundings. [2004] - Mike Summey

The authors of the study were unable to control for significant risk factors for the development of esophageal cancer such as alcohol consumption. Nor were other lifestyle considerations, such as smoking or dietary habits, taken into consideration. [2017] - Jonathan Aviv
