Quantifying Changes to Healthcare Utilization After a Reduction in Cost-sharing Among Deductible Plan Enrollees [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Health plan deductibles are a form of cost-sharing that require patients to pay out-of-pocket before insurance pays for benefits. Deductible plans have become increasingly common in the United Sates to mitigate escalating healthcare costs. Quantifying the impact of increased cost-sharing from deductibles on utilization is a challenging empirical ...

Weighted Irrigation Plans [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
We model an irrigation network where lower branches must be thicker in order to support the weight of the higher ones. This leads to a countable family of ODEs, one for each branch, that must be solved by backward induction. Having introduced conditions that guarantee the existence and uniqueness of solutions, our main result establishes the lower ...

ErMn6Sn6: A Promising Kagome Antiferromagnetic Candidate for Room‐Temperature Nernst Effect‐Based Thermoelectrics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work investigates the Nernst effect in the Kagome magnet ErMn6Sn6 which exhibits both topological and anomalous Nernst effects with the anomalous Nernst coefficient reaching 1.71 µV K⁻¹ at 300 K. This value surpasses that of most canted antiferromagnetic materials, making ErMn6Sn6 a promising candidate for advancing thermoelectric devices based on

Development and validation of optimized lentivirus-like particles for gene editing tool delivery with Gag-Only strategy

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Medical Research
Background The development of gene editing tools such as CRISPR-Cas9 and base editors (BE) is critical for genetic diseases and cancer. Lentivirus-like particles (LVLPs) grows into an auspicious platform for delivering mRNA or ribonucleic proteins (RNPs)

3D In Vitro Glioma‐Neuron‐Astrocyte Biomimetic Composites Recapitulate Key Molecular Mechanisms Linked to Glioblastoma Multiforme Pathophysiology

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Glioblastoma multiforme is the most devastating and incurable brain tumor. To better study this disease, a 3D model is developed using a hyaluronic acid‐based hydrogel combined with a multicellular approach. This model recapitulates in vivo brain stiffness, cell‐extracellular matrix and cell‐cell interactions and the tumor's hijacking function with the

Ethnic differentials of the impact of Family Planning Program on contraceptive use in Nepal [PDF]

open access: yes
There is wide variation of family planning services use among ethnic groups in Nepal. Despite three decades of implementation the need for family planning services is substantially unmet (25%), and there have been no systematic studies evaluating the ...
