Reduced gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF) with normal laboratory tests and no gallstones on ultrasound can be attributed to conditions such as biliary dyskinesia, chronic acalculous cholecystitis, cystic duct syndrome, sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, subclinical stricture. We present a case patient right upper quadrant pain, diagnosed reduced GBEF, labs, gallstones. The patient’s symptoms resolved after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography sphincterotomy, revealing mild,...
Objective To demonstrate rolling entry matching (REM), a new statistical method, for comparison group selection in the context of staggered nonuniform participant nonrandomized interventions. Study Setting Four Health Care Innovation Award (HCIA) interventions between 2012 and 2016. Design Center Medicare Medicaid HCIA participants entering these over time were matched with nonparticipants who exhibited similar pattern health care use expenditures during each participant's baseline period....
Currently, most search engines are text-based and their structures centralized. These kinds of engine sufficient for searching text information in Internet. However, while audio resource, an efficient content-based is required. In this paper, we demonstrate ASEKS based on keyword spotting technology the peer-to-peer (P2P) network. The indexing sub-model spots local files generates indices later query; P2P networks distributes query gathers results. supports scalability avoids bottleneck...
Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is not specific for malignancies and various forms of inflammatory lesions may demonstrate increased uptake. We report a case 46-year-old woman who presented with chronic leg pain, MRI showed abnormal signal the leg. FDG PET-CT demonstrated multiple foci intense uptake bone marrow lower extremities suspicious hematopoietic malignancy. Biopsy revealed necrotizing granulomatous inflammation. Even though inflammation uncommon in marrow, it should be included...
The gold standard of experimental research is the randomized control trial.However, interventions are often implemented without a group for practical or ethical reasons.Propensity score matching (PSM) popular method minimizing effects experiment from observational data by members treatment to similar candidates that did not receive intervention.Traditional PSM designed studies enroll participants on rolling basis and does provide solution in which baseline intervention period undefined...
We study whether employer premium contribution schemes could impact the pricing behavior of health plans and contribute to rising premiums.Using 1991-2011 data before after a 1999 subsidy policy change in Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP), we find that scheme has differential on plan based two market incentives: 1) consumers are less price sensitive when they only need pay part increase, 2) each an incentive increase employer's plan.Both incentives found growth.Counterfactual...
To assess psychometric properties of a recently-designed medical-homeness instrument, the Medical Home Attributes Scale (MHAS), we surveyed clinical practices with NCQA recognition as medical homes.Exploratory factor-analyses 25 clinician-rated MHAS items from 228 revealed four underlying factors: team interactions, record review/documentation, reviewing patient needs, and quality improvement/monitoring.In multivariable regressions, scores were 8.5 points higher for multispecialty vs....
