To examine the effect of Medicaid managed care (MMC) versus Medicaid fee-for-service (FFS) on emergency department (ED) use and hospitalization during the first 6 and 12months of life among low-birth-weight (LBW) infants. We used the New York City Office of Vital Statistics-Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (OVS-SPARCS) dataset to identify 9135 LBW infants born to female Medicaid beneficiaries in New York City from January 2008-March 2012. We applied a robust regression discontinuity framework using a New York State Medicaid policy in effect at that time. This policy automatically enrolled infants born to female Medicaid beneficiaries to Medicaid managed care (MMC) or Medicaid fee-for-service (FFS) based on their birth weight (less than 1200g vs. 1200-2500g) during the first 6months of their lives. LBW infants in MMC had an average 0.16% points higher probability of being hospitalized within the first year of their lives than those in Medicaid FFS (p-value = 0.04). More research is necessary to understand possible differences in healthcare utilization between MMC and FFS participants with high health risks.

Cancer survivors are currently considered high-risk populations for cardiovascular disease. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/R7935788-Fostamatinib.html However, no studies have directly evaluated risks and benefits of physical activity for stroke among long-term colorectal cancer survivors. This large-scale observational cohort study used data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database. Newly diagnosed colorectal cancer patients diagnosed between 2006 and 2013 who survived at least 5 years were studied. The primary outcome was stroke, including ischemic stroke and hemorrhage stroke. All patients were followed up to the date of stroke, death, or December 2018, whichever occurred earliest. Of 20,674 colorectal cancer survivors with a median age of 64 years, stroke occurred in 601 patients (2.9%). Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity lowered stroke risk in 5-9 time/week group (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 0.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.57-0.93; P=0.010), but not in ≥10 time/week group (aHR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.62-1.17; P=0.327). Walking also lowered stroke risk in 4-5 time/week group (aHR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.58-0.97; P=0.028), but not in ≥6 time/week group (aHR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.78-1.18; P=0.707). In addition, benefits of physical activity were maximized when carried out both moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and walking with moderate frequency (aHR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.60-0.97; P=0.027). Moderate frequency of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (5-9 time/week) and walking (4-5 time/week) significantly lowers the risk of stroke, whereas high-frequency physical activity reduces the benefits of physical activity. Physical activity with moderate frequency is important in the prevention of stroke for long-term colorectal cancer survivors.

The modified RCs were characterized by Vis/NIR absorption spectroscopy, and the effect of pigment exchange on RC photochemical activity was assessed by measuring the photoaccumulation of the reduced pigment at the binding site HA. It is shown that both pheophytins can be exchanged into the HA site instead of BPheo by incubation at room temperature. While the newly introduced Pheo molecule is not active in electron transfer, the [3-acetyl]-Pheo molecule is able to replace functionally the photoreducible HA BPheo molecule with the formation of the [3-acetyl]-Pheo- radical anion instead of the BPheo-. After incubation at 45 °C, the majority (~ 90%) of HA BPheo molecules is replaced by both Pheo and [3-acetyl]-Pheo. Only a partial replacement of inactive BPheo molecules with pheophytins is observed even when the incubation temperature is raised to 50 °C. The results are discussed in terms of (i) differences in the accessibility of BPheo binding sites for extraneous pigments depending on structural constraints and incubation temperature and (ii) the effect of the reduction potential of pigments introduced into the HA site on the energetics of the charge separation process. The possible implication of Pheo-exchanged preparations for studying early electron-transfer events in Cfl. aurantiacus RCs is considered.Renal cyst infection is a frequent and serious problem in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Cyst infection is often a refractory complication of treatment that leads to sepsis and death in patients with ADPKD. It was previously reported that a higher dose of dialysis demonstrated clearly better survival than shorten-time dialysis. The relationship between the frequency of cyst infection episodes in hemodialysis (HD) patients with ADPKD and the dialysis dose has not yet been fully elucidated. In this report, we describe a case of an HD patient with ADPKD that was provided elongation of HD time from 4-h twice weekly HD to 8-h thrice weekly nocturnal HD. As a result, the frequency of cyst infection episodes decreased from 10.0 to 1.5 days a month. Our findings suggest that prolonged HD time might contribute to amelioration of refractory cyst infections in patients with ADPKD. The Edmonton Symptom Assessment System-revised (ESASr) is widely used in clinical oncology to screen for physical and emotional symptoms. The performance of the anxiety and depression items (ESASr-A and ESASr-D, respectively) as screening tools have not been evaluated in patients treated with renal replacement therapy. Kidney transplant recipients and patients on dialysis were recruited in Toronto. Patients were classified as having moderate/severe depression and anxiety symptoms using the established cut-off score of ≥ 10 on the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and the General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) questionnaires. This study included 931 participants; 62% male, mean age (SD) 55(16), and 52% White. All participants completed ESASr, however only 748 participants completed PHQ-9 and 769 participants completed GAD-7. Correlation between ESASr item scores and legacy scores were moderately strong (ESASr-D/PHQ-9 0.61; ESASr-A/GAD-7 0.64). We found good discrimination for moderate/severe depression and anxiety [area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (95% CI) ESASr-D 0.
