چکیده
On October 1, 2013 the reporting of diagnoses and procedures in the U.S. will transition from the clinical modification of the ninth revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9-CM) to the tenth revision (ICD-10). The impact of conversion to ICD-10 on Medicare MS-DRG payments to hospitals was estimated using 2009 Medicare data. A minimal hospital payment increase of 0.05 percent was found using the ICD-10 version of MS-DRGs. In contrast, a modest hospital payment decrease of 0.38 percent was found when ICD-10 data was mapped backed to ICD-9-CM and the ICD-9-CM version of MS-DRGs was used.

The primary transcript of the ribosomal repeating unit in yeast
Endgroup analysis of 37S ribosomal precursor RNA from Saccharomyces carlsbergensis has revealed that the major 5' endgroup is ppA-Up, with a molar yield of 0.8. This shows that most, if not all, 37S RNA molecules have preserved a transcriptional initiation sequence. Analysis of the 3' terminus of 37S RNA has shown the presence of a uridine rich oligonucleotide, tentatively identified as U6-8-A-...

Asymptotically risk-efficient sequential point estimation of regular functionals of distribution functions based on U-statistics is considered under appropriate regularity conditions. Some auxiliary results on U-statistics are also considered in this context. fu~S Subject Classification: 62L12, 62LlS, 62G99.

In spite of concerted efforts by many investigators, the function of the pineal gland remains an enigma.

متن کاملHuman leukocyte interferon preparation blocks granulopoietic differentiation.
Since interferon administration in the treatment of some malignant conditions has been reported to cause leukopenia, we studied the effects of human leukocyte interferon preparation (HLIF) on myelopoiesis in vitro. The continual presence of HLIF in semisolid agar cultures caused a progressive decline in colony and a rise in cluster incidence with increasing concentrations of interferon. The tot...
متن کاملOn Pseudo - Random Arrays *
An arrays of O's and l's has the u v horizontal window property if every nonzero view is seen once when a u v window is moved horizontally across the array. We study the problem of constructing an array which, for a given m, has the u x v horizontal window property for all factorizations rn uv. Using maximal linear shift register sequences for the rows we are able to construct such arrays of si...
