Impact of Primary Care Exception Expansion on Family Medicine Resident Billing During the COVID-19 Pandemic
CONCLUSIONS: With the PCE expansion, senior family medicine resident physicians at UWFMR used higher-complexity billing codes at a rate approximating that of attending physicians. The findings of this study have implications regarding the financial well-being and sustainability of primary care residency training and raise a relevant policy question about whether the PCE expansion should persist. More research is needed to determine whether these findings were replicated in other primary care residency practices, the impact on resident education, and the impact on patient outcomes.PMID:37540540 | DOI:10.22454/FamMed.2023.54...

‘We’re changing the clouds.’ An unforeseen test of geoengineering is fueling record ocean warmth
The Atlantic Ocean is running a fever . Waters off Florida have become a hot tub, bleaching the third-largest barrier reef in the world. Off the coast of Ireland, extreme heat was implicated in the mass death of seabirds. For years, the north Atlantic was warming more slowly than other parts of the world. But now it has caught up, and then some. Last month, the sea surface there surged to a record 25°C—nearly 1°C warmer than the previous high, set in 2020—and temperatures haven’t even peaked yet. “This year it’s been crazy,” says Tianle Yuan, an atmospheric physicist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight...

Scientists reprogram blood cells with fat balls that target bone marrow
Some people with sickle cell disease are now healthy thanks to an experimental treatment: Researchers edit the DNA of their defective blood stem cells in a lab dish, then infuse the cells back into the body. This “ex vivo” procedure is costly and complex, however, putting it out of reach for many patients in poor countries. Now, scientists have shown they can reprogram blood cells directly inside the body by targeting genetically loaded balls of fat to the bone marrow. The advance, described today in Science , only works in mice so far and hasn’t yet cured a disease in the animals. But if it...

It begins in 1962 when I entered the University of Washington as a medical student and began research in a physiology laboratory which led to a PhD degree in Physiology and Biophysics to go with my MD degree in 1968. At this time both groups of students participated in the same physiology course containing both lectures and laboratories. After postdoctoral research at the NIH and in Cambridge, UK, in 1973 I joined the faculty of the Department of Physiology, Uni...
