State-Specific Medicaid/CHIP Eligibility Criteria and Their Impact on Health Care Access for Foreign-born Children Living in the United States.

Introduction: Foreign-born children are subject to discrepant state policies in determining eligibility for Medicaid/Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) coverage. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of these policies on health care access.

Methods: Data from the National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) were used to assess associations between health care access outcomes and three categories of state health insurance eligibility: restrictive (only U.

Endurance capacity of mice selectively bred for high voluntary wheel running.

Mice from four lines bred for high voluntary wheel activity run approximately 3-fold more revolutions per day and have elevated maximal oxygen consumption during forced treadmill exercise, as compared with four unselected control (C) lines. We hypothesized that these high runner (HR) lines would have greater treadmill endurance-running capacity. Ninety-six mice from generation 49 were familiarized with running on a motorized treadmill for 3 days.
