Assessing Cigarette Reduction Tax-Effectiveness in Low Tobacco Expenditure Contexts: An Application to Bolivia.

Health Econ

January 2025

Centro de Investigaciones Económicas y Empresariales, Universidad Privada Boliviana, La Paz, Bolivia.

In this research we show that ambitious increases in tobacco tax rates can substantially reduce tobacco consumption, increase fiscal revenue, and provide net positive social benefits even in contexts of low consumption prevalence and intensity. Low nicotine intake still constitutes a grave disease risk factor, and the effectiveness of tax increases might be questioned if income effects are small. We adapt spatial variation of price methodologies to deal with low prevalence and intensity, censored data, and small samples using the Bolivian case as an illustration.

Quantitative investigation of a 3D bubble trapper in a high shear stress microfluidic chip using computational fluid dynamics and L*A*B* color space.

Biomed Microdevices

January 2025

Chakri Naruebodindra Medical Institute, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, 111 Suwannabhumi Canal Rd, Bang Pla, Bang Phli District, Samut Prakan, 10540, Thailand.

Microfluidic chips often face challenges related to the formation and accumulation of air bubbles, which can hinder their performance. This study investigated a bubble trapping mechanism integrated into microfluidic chip to address this issue. Microfluidic chip design includes a high shear stress section of fluid flow that can generate up to 2.

Background: Cancer immune evasion is a multifaceted process that synchronizes pro-tumoral immune infiltration, immunosuppressive inflammation, and inhibitory immune checkpoint expression (IC). Current immunotherapies combat this issue by reinstating immunosurveillance of tumors; however, it benefits a limited patient population. Thus, a more effective immunotherapeutic strategy is warranted to cater to specific patient populations.

Background: Patient navigation is an evidence-based intervention for reducing delays in cancer care for underserved populations. There are limited economic evaluations of patient navigation in the US health care system and few have considered costs at various phases along the implementation spectrum. Having economic data, including costs and cost savings, can support sustainability of patient navigation programs.
