Medicaid, the state-level public insurance in the United States, has widely differing criteria treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) such as stage of liver fibrosis, documented sobriety, and specialist consultation. In a rural health network, facilities located in two less restrictive states prescribed HCV drugs at a significantly higher rate than two more restrictive states (rate ratio 4.7, CI 2.6-8.5). Prescription rates per population were highly associated with HCV treatment policies.

Evaluating temperature dynamics: a single-center prospective randomized pilot study of holmium versus thulium laser fiber for renal stones.
World J Urol
January 2025
Department of Urology, Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune, India.
Background: We aimed to evaluate and compare the rise in the temperature for the safety of the kidney parenchyma on firing the Holmium: Yttrium Aluminium Garnet laser and the Thulium Fiber Laser during laser lithotripsy in humans.
Method: We included 30 pre-stented patients with renal calculi undergoing Retrograde intra-renal surgery. They were randomized into two groups - 15 patients underwent holmium laser lithotripsy and 15 patients underwent TFL laser lithotripsy.
Infertility and risk of ovarian cancer in the women's health initiative.
Cancer Causes Control
January 2025
University of Arizona Cancer Center, University of Arizona, Tucson, CA, USA.
Purpose: There is a consistent relationship with greater ovulation frequency and increased risk of ovarian cancer. However, prior research on infertility, which may be associated with ovulation frequency through multiple mechanisms, and ovarian cancer has yielded conflicting results, possibly due to prior research conflating fertility treatment with infertility and restricting follow-up to premenopausal cases. Our objective was to determine the association between infertility and risk of postmenopausal ovarian cancer, overall and by histotype, in a population that had not received treatment with IVF.

Association of oxidative balance score with the risk of all-cause and CVD mortality in younger US adults with diabetes.
Sci Rep

School of Medicine, Nankai University, Tianjin, China.
Oxidative balance score (OBS) is a composite measures that assess the balance between pro-oxidant and antioxidant factors in an individual's diet and lifestyle, with higher scores indicating greater antioxidant exposure. Despite its potential significance, there is a limited body of research exploring the relationship between OBS and all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality specifically in younger patients with diabetes. We aimed to investigate the possible relationship between OBS and all-cause and CVD mortality in younger patients with diabetes.

Diffusion MRI is a leading method to non-invasively characterise brain tissue microstructure across multiple domains and scales. Diffusion-weighted steady-state free precession (DW-SSFP) is an established imaging sequence for post-mortem MRI, addressing the challenging imaging environment of fixed tissue with short T and low diffusivities. However, a current limitation of DW-SSFP is signal interpretation: it is not clear what diffusion 'regime' the sequence probes and therefore its potential to characterise tissue microstructure.
