    Abstract The 2010 Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act (ACA) significantly expanded access to private and public health insurance for low-income individuals through income-based subsidies and income-based eligibility expansions, respectively. In this paper, we use the universe of hospitals from 2009 to 2015 to characterize how these expansions affected the financing of hospital visits, along with price, utilization, and potential spillovers in the quality of care. The insurance coverage expansions generated a shift in the composition of payers and a modest increase in the utilization of hospital outpatient services. While concerns have been raised that these shifts in utilization could cause negative spillovers to the already insured population (e.g., Medicare enrollees), we find no significant change in the quality of care experienced by those already insured. The primary result of both federally funded insurance expansions was to increase the profits generated and prices charged by the hospitals providing such services.

    Abstract Objective: Hand hygiene adherence has been associated with reductions in nosocomial infection. We assessed the effect of improvements in electronically measured hand hygiene adherence on the incidence of hospital-acquired infections.
    Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in a 555-bed urban safety-net level I trauma center. The preintervention period was January 2015 through June 2016. Baseline electronic hand hygiene data collection took place from April through June 2016. The intervention period was July 2016 through December 2017. An electronic hand hygiene system was installed in 4 locations in our hospital. Performance improvement strategies were implemented that included education, troubleshooting, data dissemination, and feedback. Adherence rates were tracked over time. Rates of hospital-acquired infections were evaluated in the intervention units and in control units selected for comparison. The intervention period was subdivided into the initial and subsequent 9-month periods and were compared to the baseline period.
    Results: Electronically measured hand hygiene rates improved significantly from baseline to intervention, from 47% 77% adherence. Rates >70% continued to be measured 18 months after the intervention. Interrupted time series analysis indicated a significant effect of hand hygiene on healthcare facility-onset Clostridioides difficile infection rates during the first 9 months of the intervention. This trend continued during the final 9 months of the intervention but was nonsignificant. No effects were observed for other hospital-acquired infection rates.
    Conclusions: Implementation of electronic hand hygiene monitoring and performance improvement interventions resulted in reductions in hospital-onset Clostridioides difficile infection rates.

    Abstract Background: Rising rates of adolescent depression in the wake of COVID-19 and a youth mental health crisis highlight the urgent need for accessible mental healthcare and prevention within primary care. Digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) may increase access for underserved populations. However, these interventions are not well studied in adolescents, nor healthcare settings. The purpose of this study was to identify barriers and facilitators to screening and recruitment activities for
    Method: This qualitative study is a component of a larger Hybrid Type I trial. We conducted semi-structured key informant interviews with clinical and non-clinical implementers involved with screening and recruitment for the P2P trial. Informed by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), interviews were conducted at the midpoint of the trial to identify barriers, facilitators, and needed adaptations, and to gather information on determinants that may affect future implementation.
    Findings: Respondents perceived the P2P trial as valuable, well aligned with the mission of their health systems. However, several barriers were identified, many of which stemmed from influences outside of the healthcare settings. Universal and site-specific outer setting influences (COVID-19 pandemic, youth mental health crisis, local community conditions) interacted with Inner Setting and Innovation domains to create numerous challenges to the implementation of screening and recruitment.
    Conclusion: Our findings emphasize the need for ongoing, comprehensive assessment of dynamic inner and outer setting contexts prior to and during implementation of clinical trials, as well as flexibility for adaptation to unique clinical contexts. The CFIR is useful for assessing determinants during times of rapid inner and outer setting change, such as those brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, youth mental health crisis, and the corresponding exacerbation of resource strain within healthcare settings.

    Abstract Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are applied during the production of various consumer and industrial goods. As a consequence of their use in building materials and fabrics, unreacted nonpolymeric PFASs might enter the environment by evaporation or urban run-off. Since the PFAS content of building materials and industrial fabrics is hardly investigated, studies have to be performed in order to assess their total PFAS load. Building material samples (n = 23) and fabric samples (n = 28) were collected and their PFAS content was investigated. A total of 29 PFASs were analyzed (chain length in the range of C

    Abstract Alkylphenols (APs) are chemicals of largely anthropogenic origin. Longer chain derivatives like 4-nonylphenol (4NP) or 4-tert.-octylphenol (4tOP) are mainly used for the production of alkylphenol ethoxylates, while short chain alkylphenols (SCAPs) can be applied during the production of phenolic or epoxide resins that are used in paint, glue or adhesive formulations. The source, environmental distribution and fate of 4NP and 4tOP were thoroughly demonstrated leading to growing concerns regarding their endocrine properties. Although, SCAPs are also expected to entail risks to the aquatic environment, only few studies dealt with the identification of possible sources or environmental concentrations thereof. In order to evaluate the role of resin-based building materials as a possible source of 4-tert.-butylphenol (4tBP), 4-tert.-pentylphenol (4tPP), 4tOP and 4NP, 18 formulations were tested. Furthermore, AP concentrations of four wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and 50 surface waters were analyzed to assess and compare environmental concentrations and the discharge of APs depending on their chain length. 4tBP was the dominant AP in analyzed building materials with concentrations up to 320 g kg

    Abstract Targeted therapies have reshaped the landscape of the development of cancer therapeutics. Recent biomarker-driven, tissue-agnostic clinical trials represent a significant paradigm shift in precision cancer medicine. Despite their growth in preclinical and clinical studies, to date only a few biomarker-driven, tissue-agnostic indications have seen approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These approvals include pembrolizumab in microsatellite instability-high or mismatch repair deficient solid tumors, as well as both larotrectinib and entrectinib in NTRK fusion-positive tumors. Complex cancer biology, clinical trial design, and identification of resistance mechanisms represent some of the challenges that future tissue-agnostic therapies have to overcome. In this Review, we present a brief history of the development of tissue-agnostic therapies, comparing the similarities in the approval of pembrolizumab, larotrectinib, and entrectinib for tissue-agnostic indications. We also explore the future of tissue-agnostic cancer therapeutics while identifying important challenges for the future that drugs targeting tissue-agnostic indications will face.
