In this work, we report a drug delivery system based on the pH-responsive self-assembly and -disassembly behaviors of peptides. Here, systematically designed histidine-rich lipidated peptide (NP1) is presented to encapsulate deliver an anticancer ellipticine (EPT) into two model cells: non-small-cell lung carcinoma Chinese hamster ovary cells. The mechanism involved in encapsulation release process are extensively investigated. We found that NP1 could self-assemble as spherical nanocomplex...
Cognitive frailty combines physical and cognitive impairment in the absence of dementia. The prompt detection early implementation preventive interventions may reduce incidence However, intervention studies exergaming older adults with are scant. Therefore, we aim to investigate effectiveness on functions loneliness among frailty.Quasi-experimental design.Participants were recruited from four community settings. experimental group participated two 40-min sessions weekly for eight weeks;...
Patients have a right to their medical records, and it has become commonplace for institutions set up online portals through which patients can access electronic health information, including radiology reports. However, institutional approaches vary on how when such is provided. Many advocated built-in "embargo" periods, during reports are not immediately released patients, give ordering clinicians the opportunity first receive, review, discuss report with patients. To understand current...
Objective: Patients may call urgent care centers (UCCs) with surgical conditions but not be properly referred to a higher level of care. This study aims characterize how UCCs manage Medicaid and privately insured patients who present an emergent condition. Methods: Using standardized script, we called 1245 randomly selected in 50 states on 2 occasions. Investigators posed as either or privately-insured patient symptoms incarcerated inguinal hernia. Rates direct emergency department (ED)...
As the urgent care landscape evolves, specialized musculoskeletal centers (MUCCs) are becoming more prevalent. MUCCs have been offered as a convenient, cost-effective option for timely acute orthopaedic care. However, recent "secret-shopper" study on patient access to in Connecticut demonstrated that patients with Medicaid had limited these orthopaedic-specific centers. To investigate how generalizable regional findings United States, we conducted nationwide secret-shopper of identify...
The COVID-19 pandemic caused a global health emergency that triggered an acute shortage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), putting essential healthcare workers at risk. Starting March 2020, given the skyrocketing prices PPE in open market, institutions were confronted with dire need to reshape their procurement strategy. One avenue financially constrained pursued donation platforms offered access donated by individuals and organizations. We document real-life case study one most...

For many individuals, urgent care centers (UCCs) may offer most avenue be tested.

In recent years, specialized musculoskeletal urgent care centers (MUCCs) have opened across the US. Uninsured patients may increasingly turn to these orthopedic-specific as a lower-cost alternative emergency department or general center visits.To assess out-of-pocket costs and factors associated with at MUCCs for uninsured underinsured in US.In this survey study, national secret shopper was conducted June 2019. Clinics identified 50 states were contacted by telephone investigators using...
As of March 22, 2020, the number confirmed COVID-19 cases in U.S. has reached nearly 30,000. 1 While rapid and accessible diagnosis is paramount to monitoring reducing spread disease, testing capabilities across remain constrained. For many individuals, urgent care centers (UCCs) may offer most avenue be tested. Using a phone survey, we describe UCCs states with greatest disease burden.

Across various industries, the right to repair (RTR) movement has gained momentum as more than 20 states have proposed RTR laws expand access of consumer products. Medical device equipment shortages during COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated that stronger mechanisms are necessary for US health system become efficient, affordable and sustainable. We propose a 5-point SAFER framework including safety security, adaptability, fiscal, environmental regulatory factors consideration in implementing...
Risk-taking, when unregulated by good executive function, may predispose youth to potentially dangerous behaviors such as substance abuse, unsafe sex practices, and criminal activity. The computer-based Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) has been widely used study risk-taking propensity predict real-world risky behaviors. We administered the version BART-Y 6,929 children between grades K-8 hypothesize that a cognitive skillset for self-regulation controlled frontal lobe, improves risk...
