Background: To address the health inequity caused by decentralized management, China has introduced a provincial pooling system for urban employees' basic medical insurance. This paper proposes a research framework to evaluate similar policies in different contexts. This paper adopts a mixed-methods approach to more comprehensively and precisely capture the causal effects of the policy.

Background: Plasmonic core-shell nanostructures with embedded internal markers used as Raman probes have attracted great attention in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) immunoassay for cancer biomarkers due to their excellent uniform enhancement. However, current core-shell nanostructures typically exhibit a spherical shape and are coated with a gold shell, resulting in constrained local field enhancement.
Results: In this work, we prepared a core-shell AuNR@BDT@Ag structure by depositing silver on the surface of Raman reporter-modified gold nanorods (AuNR).

Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of administering intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid (TXA) on altering visual field clarity (VFC) during arthroscopic hip preservation surgery for patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS).
Methods: This randomized, double-blind, parallel-design trial was conducted over a seven-month period between October 2023 and May 2024 at a single tertiary musculoskeletal hospital. Inclusion criteria included consecutive patients that were diagnosed with FAIS through clinical history, physical exam and advanced imaging and indicated for hip arthroscopy after having failed conservative management.

The presence of cells in urine and in particular White Blood Cells (WBCs) is often associated with Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) and other diseases. Non-invasive screening of WBCs requires the development of cost-effective point of care diagnostic tools. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy has the potential to identify and quantify cells in urine.
