Democratic innovations offer a promising set of interventions to empower citizens, reduce polarization, and reimagine participatory governance. This article examines the Petaluma Fairgrounds Advisory Panel (PFAP), a citizens assembly convened to deliberate the future of a locally significant property. This qualitative study consisted of 15 panelist interviews exploring panelist experiences of nine equity strategies incorporated into the PFAP design as well as broader themes around how equity was conceptualized. Certain equity strategies emerged as particularly salient in shaping panelists' experiences, underscoring the significance of specific design components in fostering equity. In most cases appraisals were positive, though several critiques and negative assessments were mentioned. Panelist conceptualizations of equity centered around notions of fairness and belonging. The current study offers a window into how strategies to promote equity are experienced, and can inform participatory and deliberative practices that seek to effectively incorporate values of equity.

The evolution of the spatiotemporal relationship between urban economic growth and health resources within the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration provides an important context for understanding the regional development dynamics in China. Previous studies focused on equity in health-resource allocation and service efficiency, often overlooking the allometric growth relationships between health resources and economic variables. This study employs an allometric growth model to elucidate the changing interactions between the number of medical beds, doctors, and urban economic indicators in the Yangtze River Delta region from 2009 to 2022.

Objective: Percutaneous vegetation debulking has been reported to treat tricuspid valve infective endocarditis (TVIE), but data on feasibility compared with conventional surgical strategies are limited.

Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective study that included all patients with isolated TVIE who underwent suction debulking with partial venovenous bypass or tricuspid valve surgery between January 2010 and December 2022.
