822, = 0.793). T2 mapping can be used to evaluate changes in the intervertebral disc water content. Ten sessions of traction resulted in a significant increase in quantitative T2 measurements of the NP in discs for Pfirrmann grade II-IV degeneration and remission of the patients' clinical symptoms in the following 6 months. Changes in the mean NP T2 value of 5 discs in each patient were strongly correlated with changes in the ODI/VAS score.

Today, the growing regenerative armamentarium is poised to impact disease management, yet a gap in training next-generation healthcare providers, equipped to adopt and deliver regenerative options, has been exposed. This special report highlights a multiyear experience in developing and deploying a comprehensive regenerative curriculum for medical trainees. For academicians and institutions invested in establishing a formalized regenerative medicine syllabus, the Regenerative Medicine and Surgery course provides a patient-focused prototype for next-generation learners, offering a dedicated educational experience that encompasses discovery, development and delivery of regenerative solutions. Built with the vision of an evolving regenerative care model, this transdisciplinary endeavor could serve as an adoptable education portal to advance the readiness of the emergent regenerative healthcare workforce globally.Background Global budget payments (GBP) are considered effective in containing health care expenditures; however, information on their impact on quality of cardiovascular care is limited. We aimed to evaluate the effects of GBP on utilization, outcomes, and costs for 3 major cardiovascular conditions. Methods We analyzed claims data of hospital admissions in Maryland from fiscal year 2013 to 2018. Using segmented regression, we evaluated temporal trends in hospitalizations, length of stay, percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass grafting volumes, case mix-adjusted 30-day readmission rates, risk-standardized mortality rates, and hospitalization charges in patients with principal diagnosis of heart failure, acute ischemic stroke, and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in relation to GBP implementation. Trends in global cardiovascular procedure charges/volumes were also studied. Results Hospitalization rates for congestive heart failure and AMI remained unaffected by GBP, while the gradient reduced unnecessary readmissions, efficiency improvements, or shifts to outpatient care. Reduced cardiovascular procedure volumes were counterbalanced by a proportional rise in charges. State-level adoption of GBP with pay-for-performance incentives may be effective for cost containment without adversely impacting quality of cardiovascular care.Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction in eight different species of the Poaceae family in the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) of south Florida broadleaf signalgrass (Urochloa platyphylla), Columbus grass (Sorghum almum), goosegrass (Eleusine indica), maize (Zea mays), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), St. Augustine grass (Stenotaphrum secundatum), southern crabgrass (Digitaria ciliaris), and sugarcane (Saccharum interspecific hybrids). Based on their coat protein (CP) gene sequence, 62 isolates of SCMV from Florida and 29 worldwide isolates representing the known genetic diversity of this virus were distributed into eight major phylogenetic groups. SCMV isolates infecting Columbus grass, maize, and sorghum in Florida formed a unique group, whereas virus isolates infecting sugarcane in the United States (Florida and Louisiana) clustered with isolates from other countries. Based on the entire genome coding region, SCMV isolates infecting sugarcane in Florida were closest to virus isolates infecting sorghum species or St. Augustine grass. Virus isolates from Columbus grass, St. Augustine grass, and sugarcane showed different virulence patterns after mechanical inoculation of Columbus grass, St. Augustine grass, and sugarcane plants, thus proving that these isolates were different pathogenic strains. Sugarcane was symptomless and tested negative for SCMV by tissue blot immunoassay after inoculation with crude sap from SCMV-infected Columbus grass, indicating that Columbus grass was not a reservoir for SCMV infecting sugarcane in the EAA. Close CP sequence identity between isolates of SCMV from Columbus grass, maize, and sorghum suggested that the same virus strain was naturally spreading between these three plants in south Florida.Regenerative medicine, poised to transform 21st century healthcare, has aspired to enrich care options by bringing cures to patients in need. Science-driven responsible and regulated translation of innovative technology has enabled the launch of previously unimaginable care pathways adopted prudently for select serious diseases and disabilities. The collective resolve to advance the design, manufacture and validity of affordable regenerative solutions aims to democratize such health benefits for all. The objective of this Review is to outline the framework and prerequisites that underpin clinical readiness of regenerative care. Integrated research and development, specialized workforce education and accessible evidence-based practice implementation are at the core of realizing an equitable regenerative medicine vision.
