Gray markets are unauthorized channels of distribution for a supplier’s authentic products. This paper studies a distribution channel that consists of a supplier who offers all-unit quantity discounts for batch orders to enjoy cost savings, and a reseller who may divert some goods to the gray markets. Our analysis shows the impact of gray markets depends on the reseller’s batch inventory holdin...

OBJECTIVE To compare the investigator assessment of patient risk for prescription opioid misuse, abuse, and diversion with patient self-reports of these activities in a population with chronic pain. METHODS As a secondary objective of an open-label, multicenter, primary care-based clinical study to evaluate the success of converting opioid-experienced patients with chronic pain to morphine su...

Orthotopic neobladder substitution represents an important step in the evolution of urinary diversion. It is now considered the diversion of choice for themajority of patients, bothmale and female, who undergo cystectomy and is the procedurewith which other types of diversion must be compared. Nevertheless, in the preoperative setting, all options for urinary diversion should be explained compr...

OBJECTIVE To present our experience in surgical management of urolithiasis in patients after urinary diversion. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty patients with urolithiasis after urinary diversion received intervention. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, percutaneous based antegrade ureteroscopy with semi-rigid or flexible ureteroscope, transurethral reservoir lithotripsy, percutaneous pouch lithotripsy...

Incident-induced congestion is a major source of delay and frustration for drivers in large urban areas. Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) have been proposed within the framework of Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) to address one component of the incident-induced congestion problem: diversion of drivers to alternate routes. To fully utilize the potential of ATIS, transporta...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Flow-diverting approaches to intracranial aneurysm treatment had many promising early results, but recent apparently successful treatments have been complicated by later aneurysm hemorrhage. We analyzed 7 cases of aneurysms treated with flow diversion to explore the possible rupture mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS CFD analysis of pre- and posttreatment conditions was ...

The high utilization level of emergency departments in hospitals across the United States has resulted in the serious and persistent problem of ambulance diversion. This problem is magnified by the cascading effect it has on neighboring hospitals, delays in emergency care, and the potential for patients’ clinical deterioration. We provide a predictive tool that would give advance warning to hos...

Stricture of the proximal urethra following treatment for prostate cancer occurs in an estimated 1-8% of patients. Following prostatectomy, urethral reconstruction is feasible in many patients. However, in those patients with prior radiation therapy (RT), failed reconstruction, refractory incontinence or multiple comorbidities, reconstruction may not be feasible. The purpose of this article is ...

BACKGROUND High-grade stenosis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) may result in flow diversion to the external carotid artery (ECA) and its branches. Head and facial pain secondary to flow-diversion to ECA and increase in regional blood flow are under-recognized and unreported. DESIGN/METHODS We report a patient with high-grade ICA stenosis and recurrent ipsilateral headaches that resolved ...
