A bout of aerobic exercise in the heat increases carbohydrate use but does not enhance the disposal of an oral glucose load, in healthy active individuals
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab. 2024 Apr 3. doi: 10.1152/ajpendo.00312.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe investigated if a bout of exercise in a hot environment (HEAT) would reduce the postprandial hyperglycemia induced by glucose ingestion. The hypothesis was that HEAT stimulating glycogen use would increase the disposal of the ingested glucose (i.e., OGTT; 75 g of glucose). Separated by at least 1 week, nine young-healthy individuals underwent three trials after an overnight fast in a randomized order. Two trials included 50 min of pedaling at 58±5% VO2MAX either in a thermoneutral (21±1ºC; NEUTRAL) or in a hot en...

Comparison of energy requirement estimation using activity record or accelerometer with doubly labeled water method in collegiate male sprinters
Track and field sprinters must obtain an optimal body composition to improve sprint performance. To successfully change body composition, it is important to evaluate the estimated energy requirements (EER) and fluctuations in total energy expenditure (TEE). However, methods to accurately evaluate the EER and TEE in sprinters have not been fully investigated. The aim of this study was to compare currently used methods with the doubly labeled water (DLW) method, which is currently the gold standard for evaluating EER and TEE.

Optimising oncology drug expenditure in Ireland
AbstractA combination of improvements in patient survival, increasing treatment duration, and the development of more expensive agents has led to a doubling of per-capita spending on cancer medicines in Ireland (2008 –2018). Despite this, access to new drugs is poor in comparison to other EU countries. We examine methods to optimise oncology drug spending to facilitate access to newer anticancer agents. Key targets for spending optimisation (biosimilar use, clinical trials and expanded access programs, waste r eduction, avoidance of futile treatment, and altered drug scheduling) were identified through an exploratory ana...

From Scientific Research to Practical Implementations: Applications to Improve Data Quality in Child Welfare
AbstractChild welfare decisions have life-impacting consequences which, often times, are underpinned by limited or inadequate data and poor quality. Though research of data quality has gained popularity and made advancements in various practical areas, it has not made significant inroads for child welfare fields or data systems. Poor data quality can hinder service decision-making, impacting child behavioral health and well-being as well as increasing unnecessary expenditure of time and resources. Poor data quality can also undermine the validity of research and slow policymaking processes. The purpose of this commentary i...

Capacity for the management of kidney failure in the International Society of Nephrology South Asia region: report from the 2023 ISN Global Kidney Health Atlas (ISN-GKHA)
The South Asia region is facing a high burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) with limited health resources and low expenditure on health care. In addition to the burden of CKD and kidney failure from traditional risk factors, CKD of unknown etiologies from India and Sri Lanka compounds the challenges of optimal management of CKD in the region. From the third edition of the International Society of Nephrology Global Kidney Health Atlas (ISN-GKHA), we present the status of CKD burden, infrastructure, funding, resources, and health care personnel using the World Health Organization ’s building blocks for health systems in ...

Update on variability in organization and structures of kidney care across world regions
Globally, the number of people suffering from kidney disease is approaching 1 billion.1 This estimate is almost twice the number of people living with diabetes mellitus2 in 2021, and more than 20 times the number of people living with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in 2022.3 Kidney disease recently has been ranked among the top-10 leading causes of death worldwide by the World Health Organization (WHO).4 Progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) to kidney failure is associated with poor outcomes, including loss of life years, catastrophic health expenditures, reduced quality of life, and excess mortality.

Measured Resting Energy Expenditure and Predicted Basal Metabolic Rate Early After Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation
Purpose: Fat free mass (FFM) increases over the first 6 months of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support for patients with advanced heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), but concurrent resting energy expenditure (REE) and predicted basal metabolic rate (BMR) changes have not been studied. We hypothesized that measured REE (adjusted for FFM which is the major determinant of metabolic rate) would be highest at the baseline of LVAD implantation, when the HFrEF syndrome was most active.

Contribution of high-technology procedures to public healthcare expenditures: the case of ischemic heart disease in Portugal, 2002 –2015
AbstractThe magnitude of the impact of technological innovations on healthcare expenditure is unclear. This paper estimated the impact of high-technology procedures on public healthcare expenditure for patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) in Portugal. The Blinder –Oaxaca decomposition method was applied to Portuguese NHS administrative data for IHD discharges during two periods, 2008–2015 vs. 2002–2007 (N = 434,870). We modelled per episode healthcare expenditures on the introduction of new technologies, adjusting for GDP, patient age, and comorbid ities. The per episode healthcare expenditure was significa...

Treated versus self-reported prevalence of chronic pain and costs of patients' health services utilization: a population-based study of health administrative databases
DISCUSSION: Our findings suggest that the economic burden of CP is considerable and that many people with self-reported CP do not use the public healthcare services. This can be multifactorial, including lack of availability and accessibility of publicly funded services, people's lack of awareness of available services, lower utilization due to COVID-19 pandemic, and reliance on self-management, private services, and alternative treatments. Further studies are warranted to inform future policies and health system initiatives aiming to reduce the burden of CP and improve lives of people living with it.PMID:38545500 | PMC:PM...

Cost and value of cancer medicines in a single-payer public health system in Ontario, Canada: a cross-sectional study
We describe temporal trends in expenditure on cancer medicines within the single-payer health system of Ontario, Canada, and the extent of clinical benefit these treatments offer.METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we identified cancer medicines and expenditures from formularies and costing databases (the New Drug Funding Program, Ontario Drug Benefit Program, and The High-Cost Therapy Funding Program) during 10 consecutive years (April 1, 2012, to March 31, 2022) in Ontario, Canada. For intravenous medicines, we applied the European Society for Medical Oncology Magnitude of Clinical Benefit Scale (ESMO-MCBS) to identi...
