Hospital performance: costs of acute admitted patients in public hospitals in 2011–12 [PDF]

, 2015
Some public hospitals spend nearly twice as much money as others to provide similar services to similar groups of patients. Overview Hospitals account for a large share of the funds Australia spends on the health sector each year. In 2011–12, about 30%

Hydrophilic Polymers Enable Gastrointestinal Transit Monitoring by Fluorine‐19 Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Hydrophilic fluorinated copolymers dissolve in chyme and give a strong, single 19F signal, unlike phase‐separating perfluorocarbons. Combined 1H‐19F MRI tracks their whole‐gut transit non‐invasively and without ionizing radiation. In rats, the tracers move through the gastrointestinal tract, resist resorption, and are well tolerated, a proof‐of‐concept
