Does Assisted Living Capacity Influence Case Mix at Nursing Homes?
Assisted living facilities (ALFs) have grown over the past few decades. If they attract residents with lower care needs away from nursing homes (NHs), NHs may be left with higher case mix residents. We study the relationship between ALF bed market capacity and NH case mix in a state (Virginia) where ALF bed capacity stabilized after a period of growth. Similarly, NH capacity and use had been st...
متن کاملDoes low angiopoietin-1 predict adverse outcome in sepsis?
Endothelial injury has emerged as a crucial early event in the pathogenesis of microcirculatory dysfunction, capillary leakage and multiorgan dysfunction syndrome. The endothelial-specific angiopoietin (Ang)/Tie2 ligand-receptor system has been identified recently as a nonredundant regulator of endothelial responsiveness. Ang-1 is a Tie2 agonist and promotes endothelial stabilization and quiesc...

متن کاملCholecystostomy does not prevent gallstone ileus: a case report
INTRODUCTION Gallstone ileus following cholecystostomy has been reported once, in a patient with acute cholecystitis, where symptoms of small intestinal obstruction had developed one day after surgery. We report a case of gallstone ileus eight months following a cholecystostomy, which might deter the diagnosis. This is the only such reported case in medical literature according to our knowledge...
متن کاملEstimating Unobserved Individual Heterogeneity through Pairwise Comparisons
This paper proposes a new methodology to study environments with unobserved agent heterogeneity. We focus on the settings where the heterogeneous factor takes values from an unknown finite set, and the economic model yields testable implications in the form of pairwise inequalities. The method produces a consistent classification of economic agents according to their unobserved types. The paper...
