High-Cost Cancer Drug Use in Medicare Advantage and Traditional Medicare.
JAMA Health Forum
January 2025
Department of Health Systems, Management, and Policy, University of Colorado Cancer Center, Aurora.
Importance: Medicare Advantage (MA) plans are designed to incentivize the use of less expensive drugs through capitated payments, formulary control, and preauthorizations for certain drugs. These conditions may reduce spending on high-cost therapies for conditions such as cancer, a condition that is among the most expensive to treat.
Objective: To determine whether patients insured by MA plans receive less high-cost drugs than those insured by traditional Medicare (TM).
Temporary Transvenous Pacing Performed in the Intensive Care Unit or in the Catheterization Laboratory.
Pacing Clin Electrophysiol
January 2025
Service de rythmologie cardiaque, Hôpital Cardiologique Louis Pradel, Hospices Civils de Lyon, Lyon, France.
Background: Temporary transvenous pacing (TTP) is a common procedure, predominantly performed in the catheterization laboratory (cath lab) because of presumed lower complication rate. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TTP placement in the ICU compared to TTP placement in the cath lab.
Methods: This retrospective, real-life study included all patients requiring TTP in a tertiary care ICU between 2019 and 2022.
Simulation of Arc Discharge in an Argon/Methane Mixture, Taking into Account the Evaporation of Anode Material in Problems Related to the Synthesis of Functional Nanostructures.
Nanomaterials (Basel)
December 2024
Department of General Physics, Kazan National Research Technical University Named After A.N. Tupolev-KAI, Kazan 420111, Russia.
In this work, within the framework of a self-consistent model of arc discharge, a simulation of plasma parameters in a mixture of argon and methane was carried out, taking into account the evaporation of the electrode material in the case of a refractory and non-refractory cathode. It is shown that in the case of a refractory tungsten cathode, almost the same methane conversion rate is observed, leading to similar values in the density of the main methane conversion products (C, C, H) at different values of the discharge current density. However, with an increase in the current density, the evaporation rate of copper atoms from the anode increases, and a jump in the - characteristic is observed, caused by a change in the plasma-forming ion.

Healthcare (Basel)
December 2024
Department of Public Health, Semey Medical University, Semey City 071400, Kazakhstan.
Objectives: This study investigated stroke survivors and the characteristics of care management after discharge from hospital to home. The study aimed to identify caregiving difficulties and to assess mastery of skills in implementing recovery activities at home. This was a cross-sectional study.

J Hypertens
December 2024
Division of Internal Medicine, Candiolo Cancer Institutute FPO - IRCCS, Candiolo.
Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a high prevalence condition, with high rates of hospitalization and mortality. Arterial hypertension is the main risk factor for HFpEF. Among hypertensive patients, alterations in cardiac and vascular morphology identify hypertension-mediated organ damage (HMOD).
