The roads to managed competition for mixed public-private health systems: a conceptual framework
Health Econ Policy Law. 2024 Apr 2:1-16. doi: 10.1017/S1744133123000373. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHealth systems' insurance/funding can be organised in several ways. Some countries have adopted systems with a mixture of public-private involvement (e.g. Australia, Chile, Ireland, South Africa, New Zealand) which creates two-tier health systems, allowing consumers (groups) to have preferential access to the basic standard of care (e.g. skipping waiting times). The degree to which efficiency and equity are achieved in these types of systems is questioned. In this paper, we consider integration of the two tiers by means o...

Genome-based approach to evaluate the metabolic potentials and exopolysaccharides production of Bacillus paralicheniformis CamBx3 isolated from a Chilean hot spring
In the present study, a thermophilic strain designated CamBx3 was isolated from the Campanario hot spring, Chile. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence, phylogenomic, and average nucleotide identity analysis the strain CamBx3 was identified as Bacillus paralicheniformis. Genome analysis of B. paralicheniformis CamBx3 revealed the presence of genes related to heat tolerance, exopolysaccharides (EPS), dissimilatory nitrate reduction, and assimilatory sulfate reduction. The pangenome analysis of strain CamBx3 with eight Bacillus spp. resulted in 26,562 gene clusters, 7,002 shell genes, and 19,484 cloud genes. The EPS produced by B....

ECMO as Bridge to Lung Transplantation. Experience in a Center in a Country with Low Donor Supply. Cl ínica Santa María, Santiago De Chile
Purpose: The use of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) as bridge therapy has improved the outcomes of patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation prior to lung transplantation (LT). Our objective is to evaluate and describe the local experience of ECMO therapy as bridge to lung transplantation (EBLT) in the last 8 years. (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)

Occupational health policies in older workers: comparative analysis between Spain and Chile
CONCLUSIONS: The Spanish regulations present a greater presence of indications on aging compared to the Chilean one. However, development in this area is insufficient in both countries. Chile and Spain have guides of recommendations, which are not mandatory, and their application is voluntary. This suggests that the prevention of occupational risks has a great pending challenge with people over 55 years of age.PMID:38555696 | DOI:10.1016/j.gaceta.2024.102382 (Source: Gaceta Sanitaria)
