Drug utilization and cost in a Medicaid population: A simulation study of community vs. mail order pharmacy

BMC Health Services Research, 2007
Background Outpatient drugs are dispensed through both community and mail order pharmacies. There is no empirical evidence that substitution of community pharmacy with mail order reduces overall drug expenditures.

Eutectic Gallium‐Indium as a Potential Non‐Toxic Replacement in Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A practical alternative to mercury intrusion porosimetry is presented using non‐oxidized eutectic gallium‐indium. An eGaIn Filling Station enables oxygen‐free preparation of standard penetrometers, and the resulting measurements faithfully reproduce pore‐size distributions and intrusion volumes measured with mercury across several standard reference ...

A new community business model for a free, open, and neutral network: Considering the wireless to fiber transition

Internet of Things
Free, open, and neutral network (FONN) is an alternative to the prevailing proprietary ISP networks on the Internet. From the FONN manifesto, we conceive two main goals: to give freedom to users and to cooperate in building and maintaining the FONN infrastructure. However, the manifesto avoids talking about the business model of this infrastructure and

In‐House Manufacturing of 3D ECM Culture Chips via Vacuum Thermoforming for Enhanced Imaging Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Desktop vacuum thermoforming enables rapid, low‐cost fabrication of 96‐channel polystyrene culture chips with very thin imaging interfaces. The resulting platform supports cell lines, primary cells, and patient‐derived organoids, and enables high‐resolution confocal microscopy and single‐cell visualization, providing an accessible approach for advanced

High‐Stress Si3N4 Reflective Membranes Monolithically Integrated With Cavity Bragg Mirrors

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Silicon nitride membranes are record‐breaking mechanical sensors, yet their delicate fabrication and alignment into precision optical cavities have confined them to the laboratory. A monolithic process directly integrates suspended high‐stress Si3N4${\rm Si}_{3}{\rm N}_4$ membranes onto Bragg mirrors, forming self‐aligned optomechanical cavities in ...

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify
