Medicaid prescription cap policies and acute care use and mortality among enrollees with opioid use disorder.

Background: Twelve state Medicaid programs limit the monthly number of covered prescriptions. Such cap policies may force enrollees to forego essential medications with important health consequences. We aimed to determine the impact of cap policies on acute care use and all-cause mortality among enrollees with opioid use disorder (OUD).

Cardiovascular Health at the Intersection of Race and Gender in Medicare Fee for Service.

Importance: Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people have significantly higher rates of cardiovascular-related conditions than cisgender people, and Black and Hispanic people have higher rates of cardiovascular-related conditions than non-Hispanic White people. However, little is known about the prevalence of cardiovascular-related conditions among racial and ethnic subgroups of TGD people.

Objective: To compare the prevalence of cardiovascular-related conditions across racial and ethnic groups for TGD and cisgender people using quantitative intersectional methods.

The genome sequence of the banded centipede, Leach, 1814.

We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of (banded centipede; Arthropoda; Chilopoda; Lithobiomorpha; Lithobiidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1,766.49 megabases and 1,768.

Obstacle crossing behaviour in transfemoral prosthesis users: The effect of prosthetic componentry.

Background: Functionally advanced prosthetic ankle-foot and knee components have separately been shown to positively affect obstacle crossing in individuals with a transfemoral amputation. It is unknown, however, what effect combining functionally advanced components has on transfemoral prosthesis users' obstacle-crossing strategies. The study aimed to assess how different knee and ankle-foot prosthetic components influence obstacle-crossing strategies in unilateral transfemoral prosthesis users.

Measuring the impact of The Australian National Placement Evaluation Centre to enhance nursing and midwifery student clinical placements: A multimodal evaluation.

Aim: To evaluate the early impact of the Centre.

Background: The educational quality of nursing and midwifery student clinical placement learning varies. The National Placement Evaluation Centre has a pivotal role in quality improvement by systematically collecting student and supervisor feedback on placement experiences.
