Dilemmas in rationing health care services: the case for implicit rationing [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ, 1995
With tension between the demand for health services and the cost of providing them, rationing is increasingly evident in all medical systems. Until recently, rationing was primarily through the ability to pay or achieved implicitly by doctors working within fixed budgets.

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Ethics of rationing health care services [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ, 1995
EDITOR,—Unlike Raanon Gillon,1 I find myself agreeing with the King's Fund when it advocates the formation of a Oregon-like commission modelled on the Nuffield Council of Bioethics to start the process of rationing of specific services.2 Gillon doubts whether it is morally safe to use, as he sees it, “populist solutions in distributive justice such as

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

ABL kinase‐dependent phosphorylation of SH proteins promotes their direct interaction with CRK family SH2 domains

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
CT10 regulator of kinase (CRK) and CRK‐Like (CRKL) are signaling adaptors driving cell adhesion, motility, differentiation, and proliferation. SH2‐domain containing (SH) proteins are enriched in YXXP motifs which when phosphorylated create preferred binding sites for CRK family SH2 domains.

Discretion and control at the front line : rationalities of practice in child and youth services [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Focusing on child and youth services in Victoria this research is a theoretical conceptualisation of the governance of front line work. The research addresses the question of how multiple rationalities of practice are experienced by front line workers ...

Pre‐analytical optimization of cell‐free DNA and extracellular vesicle‐derived DNA for mutation detection in liquid biopsies

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pre‐analytical handling critically determines liquid biopsy performance. This study defines practical best‐practice conditions for cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) and extracellular vesicle–derived DNA (evDNA), showing how processing time, storage conditions, tube type, and plasma input volume affect DNA integrity and mutation detection.

“Complete the Test First”: Prescreening Tests at the Margins of Digital Public Administration

open access: yesSocial Inclusion
Western welfare states are rushing to digitalise access to public services and citizens’ interactions with public institutions. Finland exemplifies this trend towards digital‐first administration. In this article, we discuss digital public administration
