The association of low-value testing with downstream care and clinical outcomes among primary outpatients is unknown to date.To assess the subsequent low-risk undergoing an annual health examination (AHE).This population-based retrospective cohort study used administrative claims from Ontario, Canada, for AHE between April 1, 2012, March 31, 2016, identify individuals who could be placed into one (or more) following 3 cohorts: adult patients (18 years or older) at low risk cardiovascular...

Abstract In this paper, we demonstrated the processing of Li 7 La 3 Zr 0.5 Nb Ta Hf O 12 (LLZNTH) high‐entropy Li–garnet with promising properties for lithium batteries. We first synthesized LLZNTH powders which have a single cubic garnet phase (space group: ; No. 230) without any secondary phases as well uniform elements distributions. The prepared were further densified to relative density ∼94% well‐crystallized grains and good contact neighboring grains. Minimal grain growth can be...

Efforts to reduce low-value tests and treatments in primary care are often ineffective. These efforts typically target physicians broadly, most of whom order infrequently.To measure physician-level use rates 4 screening investigate the presence characteristics who frequently care.A retrospective cohort study was conducted using administrative health claims collected between April 1, 2012, March 31, 2016, Ontario, Canada.

Precursor B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is caused by genetic lesions in developing cells that function as drivers for the accumulation of additional mutations an evolutionary selection process. We investigated secondary leukemogenesis a mouse model B-ALL driven PU.1/Spi-B deletion (Mb1-CreΔPB). Whole-exome-sequencing analysis revealed recurrent Jak3 (encoding Janus kinase 3), Jak1, and Ikzf3 Aiolos). Mutations with high variant-allele frequency (VAF) were dominated C→T...
