The Michael J. Fox Foundation

The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson's disease (PD) through funded research and ensuring the development of improved therapies for those living with Parkinson's today. Established by actor Michael J. Fox in 2000,[1] the Foundation has since become the largest non-profit funder of Parkinson's disease research in the world, investing more than $1 billion in research funding to date.[2][3] In 2010, the Foundation launched the first large-scale clinical study on evolution biomarkers of the disease at a cost of $45 million over five years.[4] The organization hosts the Fox Trial Finder, which is a website for presenting clinical trials in Parkinson's disease clinical research.

Ptolemy's inequality

Four points and their six distances. The points are not co-circular, so Ptolemy's inequality is strict for these points. In Euclidean geometry, Ptolemy's inequality relates the six distances determined by four points in the plane or in a higher-dimensional space. It states that, for any four points A, B, C, and D, the following inequality holds: A B ¯ ⋅ C D ¯ + B C ¯ ⋅ D A ¯ ≥ A C ¯ ⋅ B D ¯ . {\displaystyle {\overline {AB}}...
