We categorized SES as low when Hollingshead Index scores were in the bottom tertile
We categorized trauma as high when one or more of the five traumatic events were endorsed. The economic hardship variable had two components: food insecurity and SES. Food insecurity was evaluated by endorsement of the statement “I don’t always have enough money to buy the food I need”. SES was assessed by the Hollingshead Index of Social…
One notable element of the Other Funds is Oregon’s Public Employee Retirement System
While the public often thinks of Lottery money as coming primarily from “scratch-it” tickets and big drawings like Powerball, the real money here, over 70%, comes from video gambling in bars scattered across the state.

Both the LR and Differentiator models have garnered consider able empirical support in alcohol challenge research ; however, both models share some limitations. Human subjects research has not adequately tested whether SR represent a dynamic…
The use of nasal cannula can effectively delay critical hemoglobin desaturation
In an apneic patient approximately 250 mL/minute of oxygen moves from the alveoli into the bloodstream. Conversely, only 8-20 mL/minute of carbon dioxide buffered in the bloodstream; this causes the net pressure in the alveoli to become slightly subatmospheric, generating a mass flow of gas from pharynx to alveoli via diffusion.Regarding CO2 concentrations, Patel et al.,…
However this still would not account for the extended time to failure seen in the femoral cohort
In the femoral cohort, site issues and inaccuracies were the causes of two of the removals, and inability to draw was the cause for removal in a single patient. Accidental removal did not occur in the femoral cohort. Mortality data was only monitored in the prospective arm and included only patients with an arterial line…

It is possible that patients in the program simply chose to seek care at other hospitals and EDs
In looking at the cost implications of our analysis, we must consider the payer mix when considering the implication of reducing ED and inpatient charges in such a drastic fashion, as insurance plans reimburse at variable rates. A 2016 Texas study found that for every $1.00 paid by Medicare to reimburse medical services, private insurance…
