STUDY OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of a pilot pharmacist-managed medication reconciliation program on mortality and use of health care services in patients discharged to home from a skilled nursing facility (SNF). DESIGN Quasi-experimental, controlled trial. SETTING Health maintenance organization (HMO). PATIENTS Five hundred twenty-one HMO members. INTERVENTION Patients were assigned...

Abstract The fields of viral ecology and evolution are rapidly expanding, motivated in part by concerns around emerging zoonoses. One consequence is the proliferation host–virus association data, which underpin macroecology zoonotic risk prediction but remain fragmented across numerous data portals. In present article, we propose that synthesis a central challenge to characterize global virome ...

This paper discusses the state of the art in data reconciliation and instrumentation upgrade. In the field of data reconciliation, several new directions of research and recommendations for software vendors as well as practitioners are made. In the case of the emerging field of instrumentation upgrade, aside from also pinpointing research and development directions, practical economical aspects...

background: the measurement data regarding the influent and effluent of wastewater treatment plant (wwtp) provides a general overview, demonstrating an overall performance of wwtp. nevertheless, these data do not provide the suitable operational information for the optimization of individual units involved in a wwtp. a full-scale evolution of wwtp was carried out in this study via a reconciled ...

Duplication-Transfer-Loss (DTL) reconciliation is a powerful and increasingly popular technique for studying the evolution of microbial gene families. DTL reconciliation requires the use of rooted gene trees to perform the reconciliation with the species tree, and the standard technique for rooting gene trees is to assign a root that results in minimum reconciliation cost across all rootings of...
