    Abstract Keogh-Brown et al.(2020) illustrate the application of economic modelling to inform and guide policy making during the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK. The methodology is based on linking a general equilibrium economic model to a simple epidemiological model of the infection. In this commentary a number of issues are discussed relating to the construction and application of the model, and the implications of the findings for government policies.

    Abstract Background: Traditional East Asian Medical (TEAM) practice systems exhibit much variation. Little work has been done to study reasons for this variation. This essay explores cultural and historical explanations for how variety occurs by contrasting the use of two TEAM concepts in diagnosis in Chinese and Japanese systems.
    Methods: Focussing on two important concepts,
    Results: While TCM texts describe many heart-related diagnoses, MT texts do not describe any. While TCM associates '
    Conclusions: In light of these findings, important questions arise about the nature of concepts and diagnoses in TEAM practice systems. They are not objective like biomedical constructs and diagnoses, nor are they clearly articulated and studied yet according to international standards. This suggests a range of research strategies that are needed. There are valid historical and cultural reasons for the differences we see between Japanese and Chinese TEAM systems. In light of these, further research is needed to elaborate and identify critical issues that are important for education, practice and research.

    Abstract Background: In the face of rapidly ageing populations and increasing costs of health care provision, questions continue to be raised about the long-term sustainability of publicly funded health care programmes around the world. But despite increasing evidence of dynamic changes in epidemiology, most official health service planning models continue to rely on the implicit assumption that age-specific requirements for services (and by implication age-specific needs for care) will remain constant across future years ('constant-use models').
    Objectives: In this paper, we discuss the advantage of dynamic 'changing needs' planning models, compared to 'constant-use' planning models, and consider a framework that integrates population needs directly into health service planning. Using Australian survey data, we empirically illustrate the difference between static health service planning approaches to dynamic needs-driven planning models.
    Methods: We use data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics Survey in Australia (HILDA) to explore trends in health needs from 2001 to 2020. We subsequently simulate a 'changing-needs' planning model where changes in health needs by birth-cohorts are incorporated into official government estimates from the Australian Intergenerational Reports (IGR) to understand the potential impact on future health care requirements.
    Results: Our results show that healthy ageing trends are being observed for successive birth-cohorts with these trends greatest in older age groups, the age groups for which health care expenditures are largest. Adjusting for these changes in needs using Australian data leads to reductions in the expenditures required for future years ranging from 1.5 (2.50%) to 3 billion (5.25%) 2019 AUD.
    Conclusion: We conclude that 'constant-use' planning models based on the expected future numbers of people in different age groups applied to current levels of service use by age groups without any consideration given to changing age-specific needs for health care lead to inefficient resource planning.

    Abstract Die Ostasiatische Nadeltherapie Toyohari entwickelte sich aus einer Studiengruppe des blinden Akupunkteurs Kodo Fukushima, die sich wiederum aus der Meridiantherapie entwickelte. In der Toyohari-Behandlung werden insbesondere Tastbefunde aus Puls- und Bauchdiagnose einbezogen, die auch den jeweils folgenden Behandlungsschritt bestimmen. Die Toyohari-Methoden werden in monatlich zusammenkommenden Studiengruppen fortgeschrittener Therapeuten stetig evaluiert und weiterentwickelt.
