Centre-Specific Variation in Atrial Fibrillation Ablation-Treatment Rates in a Universal Single-Payer Healthcare System

CJC Open
Background: Disparities in atrial fibrillation ablation rates have been studied previously, with a focus on either patient characteristics or systems factors, rather than geographic factors.

Estimating the burden of antimicrobial resistance: a systematic literature review

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2018
Background Accurate estimates of the burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are needed to establish the magnitude of this global threat in terms of both health and cost, and to paramaterise cost-effectiveness evaluations of interventions aiming to ...

Race and Household Income Are Associated With Disease Outcomes in Pediatric Patients With Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitis Hospitalized in the United States

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Race and household income impact outcomes in patients with rheumatic conditions; however, their role in pediatric antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis (AAV) remains poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate whether race and ethnicity and household income are associated with severe AAV disease and renal outcomes among

Adaptive Observer for Coupled Wave PDE and Infinite ODE With Sampled Data and Unknown Input: Application to Brain Hemodynamics Estimation

International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.
This article proposes a convergent adaptive observer for a damped wave PDE and an infinite‐dimensional ODE coupled in cascade using sampled‐in‐space ODE state measurements. The proposed observer estimates the distributed states of the PDE and ODE along with unknown PDE parameters and spatial input.

Thermodynamic Pathways of Nonequilibrium Solidification in Wire‐Arc Additive Manufacturing Fe‐Based Multicomponent Alloy Structures

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Geometry‐driven thermal behavior in wire‐arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) influences microstructural evolution during nonequilibrium solidification of a chemically complex Fe–Cr–Nb–W–Mo–C nanocomposite system. By comparing different deposits configurations, distinct entropy–cooling rate correlations, segregation, and carbide evolution are revealed ...

Understanding the Stochastic Nature of Process Parameter Development of Blown Powder Laser Beam Directed Energy Deposition Additive Manufacturing of Pure Molybdenum

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Identified through the use of statistical design of experiments and metallographic investigation, this study exposes the stochastic origins of intergranular cracks in blown powder laser beam directed energy deposition additive manufacturing of pure molybdenum. It further demonstrates a successful crack mitigation approach with direct correlation to the

Idiosyncrasies of the 2010 Affordable Care Act from a Comparative Perspective

Angles, 2017
This article examines the particularities of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) in a historical comparative perspective. Comparisons are made to highlight the specificities of the American welfare state and of health legislation in

Current Status and Challenges in Data Collection for Aerospace Coatings Deposited by Plasma Spraying

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An innovative approach has been integrated into the GRENAT project to optimize plasma spraying and coating performance. Raw materials are accelerated and melted in the plasma generated by torches, creating coatings. Monitoring sensors collect process data which are combined with ex situ characterization data.

Why single-payer health systems spark endless debate [PDF]

BMJ, 2007
Whenever Americans lapse into their periodic “conversations” on health reform, a single-payer health system is proposed by some as the panacea and condemned by others as “socialised medicine.” Rarely are the pros and cons of single-payer systems fairly debated. In single-payer health systems, the entire population shares one health insurance carrier,
