Background: The aim of this study is to develop a method we call "cost mining" to unravel cost variation and identify cost drivers by modelling integrated patient pathways from primary care to the palliative care setting. This approach fills an urgent need to quantify financial strains on healthcare systems, particularly for colorectal cancer, which is the most expensive cancer in Australia, and the second most expensive cancer globally.
Methods: We developed and published a customized algorithm that dynamically estimates and visualizes the mean, minimum, and total costs of care at the patient level, by aggregating activity-based healthcare system costs (e.
AbstractTheoretical studies from diverse areas of population biology have shown that demographic stochasticity can substantially impact evolutionary dynamics in finite populations, including scenarios where traits that are disfavored by natural selection can nevertheless increase in frequency through the course of evolution. Here, we analytically describe the eco-evolutionary dynamics of finite populations from demographic first principles. We investigate how noise-induced effects can alter the evolutionary fate of populations in which total population size may vary stochastically over time.

The estrous cycle is a sensitive endpoint from an endocrine disruptor perspective and is included in rodent reproductive toxicity studies. In this paper, the methods for estrous cycle timing and different approaches followed by testing laboratories for evaluating the days of the estrous cycle were reviewed. No major differences are identified for counting 4-day estrous cycle.

Panthenol, a vitamin B5 derivative, is a key precursor in the synthesis of fatty acids that maintain epithelial function. Its ability to aid in moisturization, skin barrier restoration, and wound healing has led to its frequent incorporation into personal care products and pharmaceuticals-many of which are marketed to be hypoallergenic. While contact allergy to panthenol is rather uncommon, rates of positive reactions are on the rise, increasing from 0.

A central characteristic of living organisms is their agency, that is, their intrinsic activity, both in terms of their basic life processes and their behavior in the environment. This aspect is currently a subject of debate and this article provides an overview of some of the relevant publications on this topic. We develop the argument that agency is immanent in living organisms.
