    Abstract A disproportionate amount of healthcare costs in developed nations are attributed to a small percentage of high-needs patients. New York is no exception. Addressing the needs of this subgroup of Medicaid patients was part of reforms begun in 2011 with the creation of the Medicaid Redesign Team (MRT). The MRT successfully adopted 78 revisions to the Medicaid program. Some broad reforms target all Medicaid enrollees. The state also invested in two specific programs to meet the needs of high users: supportive housing and Health Homes. Close monitoring of both programs is underway and over time, will reveal the value of these two initiatives.

    Abstract Objective: Severe spinal deformity results in restrictive pulmonary disease from thoracic distortions and lung-volume limitations. Though spirometry and body plethysmography are widely accepted tests for pulmonary function tests (PFTs), they are time-consuming and require patient compliance. This study investigates whether surface topographic [surface topography (ST)] measurements of body volume difference (BVD) and torso volume difference between maximum inhale and exhale correlate to values determined on PFTs.
    Methods: This study included patients with idiopathic scoliosis and thoracic/thoracolumbar curves ≥40 degrees. Patients received ST scans, clinical examinations, and EOS biplanar radiographs on the same day. PFTs were performed within 3 months of ST/radiographic analysis. Univariate linear regression analysis was used to examine relationships between BVD, PFT values, and mean curves.
    Results: Sixteen patients (14.6 ± 2.2 y, 69% females) with idiopathic scoliosis and mean thoracic/thoracolumbar curves of 62 degrees ± 15˚ degrees (45 degrees to 93 degrees) were assessed. BVD displayed statistically high-positive positive correlations with forced vital capacity (R= 0.863, P< 0.0001), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (R= 0.870, P< 0.001), vital capacity (R= 0.802, P< 0.0001), and TLC (R= 0.831, P< 0.0001. Torso volume difference showed similarly high positive correlations to forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, vital capacity, and TLC, but not residual volume. No correlations emerged between the mean thoracic/thoracolumbar curve and BVD or PFT values.
    Conclusion: This study strongly endorses further investigation into ST scanning as an alternative to traditional PFTs for assessing pulmonary volumes. The noncontact and noninvasive nature of ST scanning presents a valuable alternative method for analyzing thoracic volume, particularly beneficial for patients unable to cooperate with standard PFTs.
    Level of evidence: Level II-prognostic.

    Abstract Preparing an entire health care system for an outbreak of a deadly infectious disease is an intensive, time-consuming process that requires collaboration and cooperation at all levels. New York achieved this goal when it became apparent that the Ebola outbreak in West Africa had the potential to spread beyond the 3 most heavily impacted countries. We discuss New York's work with health care associations to prepare the multiple tiers of the state's health care system to successfully transport, identify, diagnose, and treat the disease, while also handling clinical, consequence, and communications management of the outbreak. The massive statewide efforts laid the groundwork for managing future outbreaks and emergencies and provide a model for other states to follow.

    Abstract Background: Up to 75% of patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS) report back pain, but the exact contributors are unclear. This study seeks to assess how pain correlates with demographics, radiographic and surface topographic (ST) measurements, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in patients with IS.
    Methods: Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pain Interference (PI) and Scoliosis Research Society revised (SRS-22r) pain domain from an IRB approved prospectively collected registry containing patients 11 to 21 years old with IS were correlated (Spearman coefficients) with measurements from whole-body EOS radiography and ST scanning, PROMIS 1.0 PROMs, Trunk Appearance Perception Scale (TAPS), and SRS-22r domains. SRS-22r and PROMIS-PI were also compared between different sex, scoliosis severities, and primary curve locations with Mann-Whitney U or Kruskal-Wallis tests, and if significant differences were found, included with the 5 highest univariate correlated variables into stepwise multivariate linear regression models ( P <0.05 to enter, P >0.1 to remove) predicting SRS-22r pain and PROMIS-PI.
    Results: One hundred and forty-nine patients (14.5 ± 2.0 y, body mass index 20.6 ± 4.1 kg/m 2 , 96 (64%) female, mean major coronal curve 40 ± 19 deg, range: 10 deg, 83 deg) reported mean PROMIS-PI of 42.2 ± 10.0 and SRS-22r pain of 4.4 ± 0.6. SRS-22r self-image was the most correlated variable with both SRS-22r pain (rho=0.519) and PROMIS-PI (rho=-0.594). Five variables, none of which were ST or radiographic measures, strongly predicted SRS pain domain (R=0.711, R2=0.505, N=138). Two variables (SRS-22r self-image and SRS-22r function) were utilized by a model correlated with PROMIS-PI (R=0.687, R2=0.463, N=124).
    Conclusions: SRS-22r function and self-image domains were more strongly correlated with SRS-22r pain and PROMIS-PI than any radiographic or ST measurements.
    Level of evidence: Level II-retrospective study.

    Abstract Background: This study examined gender differences in alcohol involvement and marital interactions among probands with a past 1-year alcohol use disorder (AUD).
    Methods: Adults with alcohol dependence (37 males and 17 females) and their spouses were recruited from a local substance abuse treatment center and from the local community. Couples completed a series of self-report measures and a 15-min videotaped marital interaction task that was coded for negative and positive behaviors and sequential interactions. Couples also separately called in to an interactive voice response (IVR) system every night for 14 consecutive nights and reported on their spouse's negative and positive marital behaviors.
    Results: Compared to male probands, female probands reported a) more negative marital interactions in the previous month; b) higher levels of negative reciprocity and a lower positive-to-negative ratio in the marital interaction task; and c) more daily and nightly marital conflict over the 14-day diary period. Negative marital behaviors in the evening by female spouses were associated with higher odds of intoxication among male probands on the following day. In contrast, a) negative marital behaviors by male spouses were cross-sectionally associated with higher odds of intoxication among female probands within the same day; and b) positive marital behaviors by male spouses during the day were associated with lower odds of intoxication among female probands that night.
    Conclusions: Marital conflict, assessed via multiple methods over multiple time scales, appears to be more frequent among female compared to male alcoholics. Marital conflict predicts daily intoxication among male and female probands.
