What Can We Learn from the Envision Bankruptcy?
This study ignited a firestorm of press criticism and was followed by an aggressive lobbying and PR campaign funded by United and other large commercial payers aimed at restricting balance billing by firms like Envision.
This campaign culminated in the Dec 2020 Congressional passage of the No Surprises Act, which effectively ended balance billing and subjected thousands of Envision’s out-of-network bills to an arbitration process. NSA went into effect in January 2022. Ironically, days prior to its Chapter 11 filing, Envision won a $91 million judgment from an arbitration panel against United fo...

Kaiser-Geisinger vs. Amazon, Walmart, CVS: Who will reign supreme?
For decades, research studies and news stories have concluded the American system is ineffective, too expensive and falling further behind its international peers in important measures of performance: life expectancy, chronic-disease management and incidence of medical error. As patients and health care professionals search for viable alternatives to the status quo, a recent mega-merger is

A scientometric analysis of research trends on targeting mTOR in breast cancer from 2012 to 2022
Over the past decade, thousands of articles have been published on the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) and its role in breast cancer. However, the variability and heterogeneity of academic data may impact the acquisition of published research information. Due to the large number, heterogeneity, and varying quality of publications related to mTOR and breast cancer, sorting out the present state of the research in this area is critical for both researchers and clinicians. Therefore, scientometric techniques and visualization tools were employed to analyze the large number of bibliographic metadata related to the resea...

Assessing Medicaid coverage for hematopoietic cell transplantation and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy: A project from the ASTCT-NMDP ACCESS Initiative
The American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) and the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) formed the ACCESS Initiative to address and reduce barriers to hematopoietic cell transplantation and cellular therapy (HCT/CT) in order to ensure equal access and outcomes for all patients in need. The three committees include awareness, poverty, and racial and ethnic inequity and each has defined pilot projects focusing on addressing relevant barriers to HCT/CT. Since many socioeconomically disadvantaged HCT/CT recipients receive care through state Medicaid programs, the poverty committee conducted a Medicai...

Bioactivity-guided isolation of anti-acetylcholinesterase compounds from Odontites vulgaris Moench
This study aimed to separate the anti-acetylcholinesterase (anti-AChE) compounds fromOdontites vulgaris Moench, a member of the Orobanchaceae famly, using a bioactivity-guided isolation strategy. Active fractions were selected according to the results of AChE-inhibitory activities. Then, various chromatographic packings were performed to separate the compounds from the active fractions, followed by identifying their structures using 1D NMR and HR –ESI–MS analyses. In addition, the isolated compounds were tested for their AChE-inhibitory activities. As a result, the bioactivity-guided isolation ofO. vulgaris resulted in...

Towards the Regrowth of Lost Sensory Hair Cells in the Inner Ear
Age-related deafness arises from some combination of (a) the loss of sensory hair cells in the inner ear, and (b) the loss of connections between those cells and the brain. There is some disagreement in the literature as to which of these mechanisms is the most relevant, but most recent efforts in the field are focused on trying to coerce the body into producing new hair cells. If that production of new hair cells in the inner ear follows the normal developmental processes, then it might solve both of the above mentioned issues, providing both cells and connections to the brain.
Today's research materials illustrate...

Sensors, Vol. 17, Pages 1339: A Smartphone Indoor Localization Algorithm Based on WLAN Location Fingerprinting with Feature Extraction and Clustering
With the development of communication technology, the demand for location-based services is growing rapidly. This paper presents an algorithm for indoor localization based on Received Signal Strength (RSS), which is collected from Access Points (APs). The proposed localization algorithm contains the offline information acquisition phase and online positioning phase. Firstly, the AP selection algorithm is reviewed and improved based on the stability of signals to remove useless AP; secondly, Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) is analyzed and used to remove the data redundancy and maintain useful characteristics for ...
