    Abstract Given sufficient and participatory planning, a cluster of excellence for HIV/AIDS could be designed that could yield benefits to payers, providers, and patients. Such a cluster of excellence would be at risk for all care provided to an enrollment population made up of PWAs and would be globally capitated based upon the average cost of providing care to this population in the current, unmanaged health care environment. The cluster would be freed from conventional use constraints and be free to manage the care of their enrollment population with minimal payer interference. But it would be at risk for managing the cost of care to the enrollees within the global capitation rate.

    Abstract Background: Climate change threatens human health, but there is a lack of evidence on the economic toll of these risks. Health-related cost estimates for climate-sensitive impacts illuminate an understudied impact of climate change and highlight how this threat is affecting sectors beyond property and infrastructure. Furthermore, cost estimates can guide health interventions and help public health professionals assess whether climate change adaptation measures are achieving their intended benefits. Methods: We estimate mortality and morbidity costs associated with ten climate-sensitive case studies spanning eleven US states in 2012 (when the country experienced some of its warmest weather to date); the case studies include wildfires, extreme heat, West Nile Virus and Lyme disease, extreme precipitation and flooding, harmful algal blooms, allergenic pollen, ozone air pollution, and a major hurricane. We estimate the mortality and morbidity associated with each event using data reported in peer-reviewed epidemiology studies, state and federal data, and environmental public health tracking network data collected by state public health agencies. We augment this information with imputed incidence data from national healthcare utilisation statistics. Findings: Applying value of a statistical life and cost-of-illness approaches to publicly-available data from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, we estimate total health-related costs associated with these case studies (from 917 deaths, 20 568 hospitalisations and 17 857 emergency department visits) of about $10·0 billion in 2018 dollars, with a sensitivity range of $2·7 billion to $24·6 billion. Interpretation: By better characterising these health damages in economic terms, this work helps characterise the burden that climate change already places on human health. In doing so, we provide a quantitative framework for broader estimation of climate-sensitive health-related costs. Expanded quantification of the budgetary pressures posed by climate change can ...

    Abstract The precise correction of genetic mutations at the nucleotide level is an attractive permanent therapeutic strategy for human disease. However, despite significant progress, challenges to efficient and accurate genome editing persist. Here, we report a genome editing platform based upon a class of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC)-derived clade F adeno-associated virus (AAV), which does not require prior nuclease-mediated DNA breaks and functions exclusively through BRCA2-dependent homologous recombination. Genome editing is guided by complementary homology arms and is highly accurate and seamless, with no evidence of on-target mutations, including insertion/deletions or inclusion of AAV inverted terminal repeats. Efficient genome editing was demonstrated at different loci within the human genome, including a safe harbor locus, AAVS1, and the therapeutically relevant IL2RG gene, and at the murine Rosa26 locus. HSC-derived AAV vector (AAVHSC)-mediated genome editing was robust in primary human cells, including CD34

    Abstract In the United States, health care is undergoing a transformation. The stages of evolution to a managed-care setting could be characterized as follows: (1) "The Push," (2) "The Squeeze," (3) "The Purge," and (4) "The Promise." Although the pace of change differs in various locations, these same stages will be experienced throughout the country. In the first stage, the move is toward per diems for hospitals, and payers are still focused on volume. In stage 2, integrated systems are beginning to develop, and payers are purchasing volume by negotiating deals. Primary physicians begin to flex their muscles, and specialists begin to panic. In stage 3, price clout rules, and results of quality measures will be reported. In the final stage, fewer health-care providers will be available, but they will be coordinated in large groups, and capitation contracts will prevail. Capitation--a fixed payment per health plan enrollee being paid to a provider for a defined set of services for a prescribed period--will replace a fee-for-service arrangement. In this managed-care setting, the management of diabetes, which afflicts 14 million Americans, is a major issue. It accounts for 14.7% of every health-care dollar spent in the United States, and much of that investment is for treatment of unnecessary complications. Positioning of the clinical endocrinologist as the primary-care physician for patients with diabetes is proposed as the optimal strategy for appropriate management of the patient and attainment of cost control.

    Abstract Regional changes occur in the sympathetic innervation of the heart after myocardial infarction (MI), including loss of norepinephrine (NE) uptake and depletion of neuronal NE. This apparent denervation is accompanied by increased cardiac NE spillover. One potential explanation for these apparently contradictory findings is that the sympathetic neurons innervating the heart are exposed to environmental stimuli that alter neuronal function. To understand the changes that occur in the innervation of the heart after MI, immunohistochemical, biochemical, and molecular analyses were carried out in the heart and stellate ganglia of control and MI rats. Immunohistochemistry with panneuronal markers revealed extensive denervation in the left ventricle (LV) below the infarct, but sympathetic nerve fibers were retained in the base of the heart. Western blot analysis revealed that tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression (normalized to a panneuronal marker) was increased significantly in the base of the heart and in the stellate ganglia but decreased in the LV below the MI. NE transporter (NET) binding sites, normalized to total protein, were unchanged, except in the LV, where [3H]nisoxetine binding was decreased. TH mRNA was increased significantly in the left and right stellate ganglia after MI, while NET mRNA was not. In the base of the heart, increased TH coupled with no change in NET may explain the increase in extracellular NE observed after MI. Coupled with substantial denervation in the LV, these changes likely contribute to the onset of cardiac arrhythmias.
