Medicare: a strategy for quality assurance.
This paper has outlined a strategy proposed by an IOM study committee for a quality review and assurance program for Medicare. The committee intended that such a program respond to several major issues, including: the burdens of harm of poor quality of care (poor performance of clinicians in both technical and interpersonal ways, unnecessary and inappropriate services, and lack of needed and ap...
متن کاملStable Isotope Sourcing Using Sampling
Stable isotope mixing models are used to estimate proportional contributions of sources to a mixture, such as in the analysis of animal diets, plant nutrient use, geochemistry, pollution, and forensics. We describe an algorithm implemented as SISUS software for providing a user-specified number of probabilistic exact solutions derived quickly from the extended mixing model. Our method outperfor...
متن کاملStable Isotope Application in Animal Nutrition Science
The application of stable isotope analysis (SIA) has become a standard scientific approach in Agricultural and Ecological researches and, more in general, in several disciplines such as biology, botany, zoology, organic chemistry, climatology, and nutrition. The main objectives of this paper are (1) to provide a simple definition of stable isotopes and (2) to illustrate analytical measurement m...

متن کاملMeasurement of exogenous gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) in urine using isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS)
Aim: The objective of the study was to check if gas chromatography/combustion/isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC/C/IRMS) is a suitable method to differentiate between endogenous and exogenous GHB in urine. Methods: In the presented study, a controlled and monitored administration of 2.25 g GHB (Xyrem) to one participant was carried out. Spot urine samples were collected once before administrat...
