Congenital combined bleeding disorders (CBDs) are extremely rare disorders which mainly occur in regions with a high rate of consanguineous marriage. These disorders can present with a variety of symptoms ranging from mucocutaneous bleeding to life-threatening episodes. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence and clinical course of Iranian patients with congenital CBDs. This study is conducted on 450 patients with CBDs who were referred to the Iranian Comprehensive Hemophilia Care Center (ICHCC) between 2010 and 2020. All these patients were diagnosed through evaluation of past medical history and coagulation laboratory investigation. Out of 450 patients, 33 were entered in this study. Having excluded cases with factor (F) V and FVIII deficiency, as well as those with hereditary combined Vitamin K dependent clotting factor deficiency (VKCFD), We found the most common CBDs to be FV-FVII deficiency (n 6, 18.1%), together with FVII and FX deficiency (n 6, 18.1%). Fisogatinib inhibitor The most common reason for referral of these patients to ICHCC was postoperative bleeding (14.3%). The mean of The International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis-Bleeding Assessment Tool (ISTH-BAT) and condensed MCMDM-1VWD bleeding assessment tool were 9.6 ± 4.79 and 9.1 ± 4.87, respectively (P less then 0.005). In 10 females of reproductive age, the mean of Pictorial Bleeding Assessment Chart (PBAC) score was 649.3 ± 554. Among all patients, 23 (69.7%) received on-demand replacement therapy, whereas 5 patients (15.1%) received prophylaxis. In Iran, the coinheritance of bleeding disorders is surprisingly higher than expected. Moreover, patients with congenital CBDs may experience serious bleeding manifestations.The U.S. encompasses a heterogenous mix of people and health disparities exist for various subpopulations, such as minorities, women, people with limited English proficiency, those with low socioeconomic status, and other underserved groups. Differences in health outcomes arise in part due to inequalities and injustices rooted in biological, social, and structural factors. Because the origins of health disparities are multifactorial, the approaches to reduce, or even eliminate them, must be multifactorial as well. The social and behavioral sciences are well poised to address the myriad and complex factors that affect health outcomes, including those at the individual level (eg, individuals' behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs), the neighborhood level (eg, housing), the community level (eg, cultural values and norms), and the policy level (eg, public policies that influence healthcare funding and access to healthcare resources and educational materials). In addition, the social and behavioral sciences (1) help equip government agencies with the perspectives and tools needed to promote health equity and (2) contribute to rigorous, evidence-based solutions for public health issues, such as disparities found in childhood vaccination rates, childhood obesity, tobacco use, and access to health information technology. The FDA, in particular, actively conducts social and behavioral sciences research to guide the Agency's efforts to advance and support health equity.Background Osteosarcoma (OS) is a common malignant bone cancer and usually occurs in adolescents and children. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play essential roles in tumor development and progression. This study aimed to explore the function and molecular basis of circ_0016347 in OS progression. Materials and Methods The levels of circ_0016347, miR-1225-3p, and ether à go-go 1 (KCNH1) were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction or western blot assay. Cell proliferation was assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and colony formation assay. Cell migration and invasion were evaluated by transwell assay. Glucose consumption and lactate production were detected by glucose detection and lactic acid detection kits. The levels of Ki-67, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), and hexokinase-2 (HK2) were examined by western blot assay. The interaction among circ_0016347, miR-1225-3p, and KCNH1 was validated by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Xenograft assay was conducted to analyze tumor growth in vivo. Results Circ_0016347 and KCNH1 were upregulated, while miR-1225-3p was downregulated in OS tissues or cells. Circ_0016347 and KCNH1 promoted proliferation, migration, invasion, and glycolysis of OS cells. Circ_0016347 regulated OS progression by modulating KCNH1. Circ_0016347 was a sponge of miR-1225-3p, and miR-1225-3p targeted KCNH1. Circ_0016347 regulated KCNH1 expression via sponging miR-1225-3p. Moreover, silencing of circ_0016347 inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Conclusion Circ_0016347 contributed to OS progression through the miR-1225-3p/KCNH1 axis, which might provide a promising biomarker for OS therapy.Reducing the cost of care while enhancing its quality and experience are essential components to success in value-based care. Because emergency department (ED) and hospital settings represent high-cost environments, the authors sought to reduce their unnecessary use by deploying a novel care delivery service that offers mobile, on-demand care for high-acuity conditions in patient homes. This study is a retrospective quality improvement evaluation of the initial year of the mobile acute care model in a health system with a substantial penetration of value-based care. Although all patients were eligible for mobile services as clinically indicated, those in accountable care organizations were prioritized by the care management teams. A variety of operational, clinical, and financial metrics were assessed to determine the program's performance and value. There were 3436 patient encounters during the study period, a utilization rate of 71% that trended upward throughout the year. Of these visits, 44% involved patients in value-based payment models; 80% of these represented patients in Medicare risk agreements. Throughout the year, progressively improving operational and clinical performance were observed, as were consistently high patient satisfaction scores. An estimated 63.8% of total mobile visits resulted in ED avoidance; 21.6% were emergency medical transport avoidant; 14.1% led to avoided hospital observation or inpatient stays. Patients were highly satisfied with the service. In-home mobile care for high-acuity illness can prevent unnecessary ED and hospital use for some patients and is associated with high patient satisfaction. Acute mobile care is a useful component of a value-based care strategy.
