Background: Taiwan implemented global hospital budgeting with a floating-point value, which created a prisoner's dilemma. As a result, hospitals increased service volume, which caused the floating-point value to drop to less than one New Taiwan Dollar (NTD). The recent increase in the number of hospital beds and the call to enhance the floating-point value to one NTD raise concerns about the potential for increased financial burden without adding value to patient care if hospitals expand their bed capacity for volume-based competition.

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a pediatric condition identified by the backward flow of urine from the bladder to one or both ureters and kidneys, predisposing patients to recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) and kidney scarring. Continuous antibiotic prophylaxis has long been a mainstay of management aimed at preventing recurrent UTIs and resulting renal damage. This review critically discusses the evidence supporting the utilization of antibiotic prophylaxis in VUR, with a focus on its efficacy, safety, long-term outcomes, and future directions in management.

Centre for Dental Public Health and Primary Care, Institute of Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London, London, England.
Background: The oral health of over 90,000 individuals in UK prisons is four times worse than the general population. A recent scoping review on the oral health of prisoners inside the justice system highlighted the lack of research about what happens when they transition out of prison to become community returners.
Objectives: To co-design a film to showcase the dental experiences of community returners before and after they transition out of prison, change perceptions and inform oral health research priorities.

Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted involving 91 male inmates aged 25-75 years (mean age 41.
