This article addresses whether the use of Medicare home health services differs systematically for rural and urban beneficiaries. It draws on Medicare data bases from 1983, 1985, and 1987, including the Health Insurance Skeleton Write-Off (HISKEW) files and the Home Health Agency (HHA) 40-percent Bill Skeleton files. It presents background information on rural and urban beneficiaries and contra...

Uteroplacental insufficiency causes intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), which is associated with adult onset diseases such as hypertension. Previous studies demonstrate that growth retardation in humans and rats decreases glomeruli number; however, the molecular mechanisms responsible for this reduction are unknown. Apoptosis plays a key role in renal organogenesis. We therefore hypothesize...

To explore the role of DNA methylation in maintaining dosage compensation of X chromosome-linked genes and in regulating the transcriptional activity of "housekeeping" genes, we characterized DNA methylation of active, inactive, and derepressed alleles at the locus for hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) on the human X chromosome. The methylation of Hpa II and Hha I sites in HPRT alle...

Pain is often undertreated and underreported in the elderly. Many of these individuals receive home healthcare services for management of their conditions. Home healthcare agencies (HHAs) have outcome measures that are publicly reported. The purpose of this project was to implement an evidence-based (EB) guideline bundle to improve the outcome measure "Improvement in Pain Interfering With Activ...

A full length, double-stranded ovalbumin complementary DNA (cDNA) was synthesized in vitro and used to assay the action of 35 restriction endonucleases upon this DNA sequence. Some 22 enzymes, Bal I, BamHl, Blu I and its isoschizomerXho I, Ppu 1,Xba I, Tag I, Sal I, Bgl I, Bgl II, Kpn I, Sst II, Hue II, Hpa I, Hap II, Hha I, Hind11 and its isoschizomer HincII, Hind111 and its isoschizomer Hsu I...

3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, ecstasy) is a synthetic recreational drug of abuse that produces long-term toxicity associated with the degeneration of serotonergic nerve terminals. In various animal models, direct administration of MDMA into the brain fails to reproduce the serotonergic neurotoxicity, implying a requirement for the systemic metabolism and bioactivation of MDMA. Catech...

background: toxoplasma gondii , the obligate, intracellular parasite afflicts human in diverse ways such as ingestion of tissue cysts in undercooked meat. the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and genotyping of toxoplasma isolated from meat samples being consumed in east azerbaijan, northwest of iran. methods: overall, 150 samples including chicken, beef and lamb meat were collecte...

Saturation hybridisation with labelled single—copy UTA shows that polysomal poly(A)+ HHA of rat liver and of a minimus—deviation rat hepatcma cell—line (HTC) have similar total complexities and that few sequenoes are specific to either coil-type. Hybridisation kinetios of polygonal olKls with tenplate and heterologous oell RHAB indioate that • proportion of liver messengers are at greatly reduc...
