description: Frailty is common in older adults and has a substantial impact on patient outcomes and service use. Information to support service planning, including prevalence in middle-aged adults and patterns of frailty progression at population level, is scarce. This paper presents a system dynamics model describing the dynamics of frailty and ageing within a population of patients aged ≥50, based on linked data for 2.2 million patients from primary care practices in England. The purpose of the model is to estimate the incidence and prevalence of frailty in an ageing population over time. The model was developed in consultation with stakeholders (patients, carers, clinicians, and commissioners) and validated against another large dataset (1.38 million patients) from Wales. It was then scaled up to the population of England, using Office for National Statistics projections (to 2027). The baseline results, subject to the assumption that the frailty transition parameters remain constant over this period, suggest that the number of people living with frailty will increase as the population ages, and that those with mild-moderate frailty are likely to have the greatest impact on demand. This paper focuses on model development and validation, highlighting the benefits and challenges of using large routine health datasets.

description: Orconectes saxatilis Bouchard and Bouchard, 1976: Kiamichi Crayfish
General charateristics. Adults rarely exceed 60 mm in total length. The carapace has no cervical spines or tubercles and the areola is open. The rostrum has a central depression and marginal spines. Chelae have two subserrate rows of small tubercles along the mesial margin. In form I males, gonopods terminate in two processes which reach the base of the first pair of pereiopods when the abdomen is flexed. In females, the annulus ventralis is symmetrical with the cephalic half divided by a medial trough (Bouchard & Bouchard, 1976).
Life coloration. The background color is uniformly olive-brown to reddish brown. The posterior margin of the carapace has a prominent dark band (Figure 69). The tail fan has a faint red margin, and the ventral side is mainly white.
Similar species. In its restricted range, O. saxatilis may be confused with similar sized individuals of O. palmeri longimanus and O. tenuis. It differs from these two species in the length of the gonopods of the form I males, which reach the base of the first pair of pereiopods when abdomen is flexed. Furthermore, O. saxatilis lacks cervical spines, which are present in the other two species.
Distribution and habitat. Orconectes saxatilis is only known from the upper 45 km of the Kiamichi River in Oklahoma. Our ecological niche model confirms the highly endemic nature of O. saxatilis ’ distribution. Suitable environmental conditions may be available just south of the Kiamichi River, but due to the mountainous terrain it is unlikely O. saxatilis can disperse to this area (Figure 70). When adequate stream flow is present, the species is mainly found in riffle areas containing cobble and gravel substrates (Jones & Bergey, 2007). As water recedes, O. saxatilis will move to the nearest pool habitat or dig shallow burrows under large rocks as it is a tertiary burrower (Bouchard & Bouchard, 1976).
Life history. Form I males and females with glair (a white substance excreted before eggs are laid) were collected in September and October suggesting that reproduction occurs in the fall (Jones & Bergey, 2007). Ovigerous females were collected in March. We have collected form II males and females throughout the year.
Syntopic species. Orconectes palmeri longimanus and Procambarus tenuis.
Conservation status. AFS: Endangered; Heritage Rank: Critically Imperiled (G1); IUCN: Least Vulnerable; ODWC: Tier 1.
Additional resources. Taylor et al. (2007).

description: To estimate the cost-utility of duloxetine compared with that of a placebo, common traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) from a Chinese healthcare perspective. A Markov model was constructed. The costs and utility inputs were obtained from the database and published literature. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was the main model outputs. Subgroup analyses were also conducted for patients at high risk of gastrointestinal (GI) or cardiovascular (CV) AEs. Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed. The model estimated an ICER of $3409.21/QALY for duloxetine compared with etoricoxib, with duloxetine dominating other active treatment strategies in patients at a low risk of GI and CV AEs. The ICER for duloxetine over etoricoxib was $322.21/QALY in patients at high risk of GI and CV AEs. These results were consistent with the sensitivity analyses; 53.64% and 53.93% of the patients were willing to use duloxetine comparing with etoricoxib, for which the thresholds were 1.0 and 3.0 per capita gross domestic product (GDP), respectively. Duloxetine is a valuable option for patients with OA; however, uncertainties exist in the model, and these suggestions can be adopted with caution.

description: Abstract

This paper is designed to identify the impact of linguistics in the teaching of spoken English. The current study uses a fundamentally educational-linguistic approach as it has a basic framework in English language teaching (ELT). The study us a descriptive research and it uses the critical bibliographic literature review and the qualitative methods, In this study, the researcher focuses on secondary data, notably content analysis to come up with viable outcomes. This study will assess linguistics in the teaching of spoken English using a qualitative approach. It's fair to assume that linguistics is the biggest topic in the minds of English teachers. Linguistics is important when learning English, especially in the ELT context. Linguistics has a significant impact on English teaching. The history of the teaching of spoken English is intertwined with a variety of linguistic disciplines. In the field of linguistics, teachers are better able to convey not just the meaning and historical context of words and languages, but also their contemporary relevance. More and more, linguistics is being used in the classroom, and it's often in interdisciplinary ways. Not only do language instructors use it, but so do educators in fields like sociology, anthropology, and children's development. Understanding the rules and regulations of language, both written and spoken, and the context in which words are used is what linguistics is all about. The study of idioms and regional languages is another area that linguistics helps students with. Additionally, it helps students find the origins of expressions that have changed throughout time but may no longer have any real significance.

description: Macromolecules can gain special properties by adopting knotted conformations, but engineering knotted macromolecules is a challenging task. Here we surprisingly observed that knotting can be very effectively produced in active polymers. When one end of an actively reptative polymer is anchored, it can undergo continual self-knotting as a result of intermittent giant conformation fluctuations and the outward reptative motion. Once a knot is formed, it migrates to the anchored point due to a non-equilibrium ratchet effect. Moreover, when the active polymer is grafted on the end of a passive polymer, it can function as a self-propelling soft needle to either transfer its own knots to the passive polymer or directly braid knots on the passive polymer. We further show that these active needles can create inter-molecular bridging knots between two passive polymers. Our finding highlights the non-equilibrium effects in modifying the dynamic pathways of polymer systems, which have potential applications in macromolecular topology engineering, e.g., manipulating topological states of proteins and nucleic acids, as well as macromolecular braiding.

description: Philippipalpus Corpuz-Raros, 1978
Type species. Philippipalpus agohoi Corpuz-Raros, 1978, by original designation.
Diagnosis. All life stages: dorsal opisthosoma with 10 pairs of lanceolate to weakly palmate setae; c2, d2 and f2 absent; setae e 2 in marginal position, aligned with c3, d3, e3, and f3; setae h2 similar in size and form to other dorsal setae; palps 5-segmented, palp setal formula 0, 0, 0, 2, 3(1); immature stages with anterior margin of prodorsum smoothly rounded, without projections/notches; ventral plate absent; 3 pairs of pseudanal setae (ps1–3) on weakly developed membranous anal plates. Adult female: gnathosoma usually completely concealed by prodorsum; anterior margin of prodorsum with deep medial notch, forming 1 pair of broad fleshy lobes each bearing setae v2 (usually inserted beneath a fold); genital plate weakly developed, membranous; metapodal plates not developed; coxae I without 1c; trochanters I–IV 0-0-1-0 (v ′ absent on tr I–IV; l ′ present on tr III); femora I–IV 3-3 -2-1; genua 1-1-0-0 (d present on ge I–II); tibiae 4-4-2-2 (seta d absent ti III–IV); tarsi I–IV without tc′′. Solenidia of male similar in thickness and length to those of female.
Remarks. Smiley et al. (1996) and Mesa et al. (2009) described the genus with setae d2 present and e2 absent; however we feel that d2 is in fact absent and e2 is present on the margin, as in most of the related tegopalpine genera (Beard et al. 2013).
Species of Philippipalpus are morphologically similar to species in the genera Tegopalpus and Chaudhripalpus, as all three genera have dorsal setae c2 absent and three pairs of ps setae present (ps1–3). Philippipalpus can be separated from both these genera by the presence of dorsal setae e2 (absent in both Tegopalpus and Chaudhripalpus). Species of Philippipalpus are separated here using subtle differences in ornamentation, striation and measurements, unlike the other genera of Tegopalpinae. We feel that because each new species of Philippipalpus presented here occupies a single host species, and no other species of flat mite in this subfamily inhabits more than one species of she-oak, it is evidence to support their separation at the species level. Nevertheless, we acknowledge further collecting from a greater geographical range is warranted to test the validity of these species.
Philippipalpus is unusual in lacking both setae v ′ on all trochanters (l ′ present on tr III) and d on tibiae III–IV.

description: Atopic dermatitis (AD) imposes a hidden burden through its negative effects on quality of life and productivity. We aim to estimate this hidden burden in adults and adolescents in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. We created a burden of disease model to quantify AD’s hidden burden. Humanistic burden was calculated by estimating the monetary value of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) lost, using prevalence data from the Global Burden of Disease study, and gross domestic product (GDP) per capita for each country. Indirect economic burden was estimated based on productivity loss from absenteeism and presenteeism, adjusted for labor force participation and unemployment rates. Total hidden burden was determined by combining productivity losses and QALYs lost. QALY loss due to AD ranged from 1,832 to 58,596 annually in CEE countries, equating to 38 million to approximately 1 billion Euros per country. Productivity losses ranged from 3.6 to 148.9 million Euros annually. The total hidden burden of AD represents 0.11% to 0.43% of the GDP. Our estimates reflect significant differences in population sizes, prevalence, and economic strength among CEE countries. Adjusting findings to country-specific GDP provided insights into AD’s true hidden burden, offering valuable information for decision-making. Atopic dermatitis (AD), commonly known as eczema, is a widespread skin condition causing itchiness and discomfort. While it’s well-known that treating eczema costs money and affects patients’ health, there’s more to its impact than meets the eye. Our study closely examined eczema’s ‘hidden’ effects in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, such as its impact on work ability and life enjoyment. We found that eczema’s impact is not just about the direct costs of treatment. It also includes how the condition leads to lost workdays and reduced productivity, and more importantly, how it lowers the quality of life for those who have it. This part of eczema’s impact, which isn’t always easy to see or measure, can be just as significant. Our research is important because it shows that when health officials and policymakers think about how to deal with eczema, they need to consider these hidden effects too. Different countries in Central and Eastern Europe experience these effects in varying degrees. By understanding this, healthcare systems can make better decisions about where to put their healthcare resources. For example, they might decide to invest more in treatments or support that can improve the quality of life for people with eczema. In summary, our study highlights the need to look at the full picture of eczema’s impact. This includes not only the costs of treatment but also how it affects people’s lives in ways that are not always immediately obvious.

description: In Japan, medical expenses for COVID-19 treatment transitioned from full public funding support to out-of-pocket (OOP) payment by patients plus partial public support in October 2023, and public support fully ended in March 2024. This study evaluated the clinical and economic impacts of initiating OOP payments. To assess the impact on prescription rates, we compared the prescription rates of antivirals from the 4-month pre- to post-OOP payment initiation period using a claims database. Subsequently, a budget impact model assessed the impacts of a hypothetical decline in the prescription rates on COVID-19-related hospitalizations, deaths, and direct medical costs for antiviral prescription and hospitalization. The antiviral prescription rate per 100 patients decreased from 17.5 for the pre-OOP payment initiation period to 11.5 for the post-OOP payment initiation period, that is, a change of − 34.3%. With prescription rate decreases of 40%, 60%, and 80%, the hospitalizations would increase annually by 22,533 (3.3%), 33800 (5.0%), and 45,066 (6.6%), respectively. The total costs would increase by JPY9.5 billion (USD67.3 million; 0.7%), JPY14.3 billion (USD100.9 million; 1.0%), and JPY19.0 billion (USD134.5 million; 1.3%), respectively. Higher OOP payment decreased the antiviral prescription rate, potentially leading to clinical and economic loss.

description: Cyano-substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (CN-PAHs) may contribute to the emission detected in the 7 - 9 $μ$m (1430 - 1100 cm$^{-1}$) and 11 - 15 $μ$m (900 - 670 cm$^{-1}$) regions of astronomical IR spectra. Anharmonic quantum chemical computations of 17 CN-PAH isomers for 4 small PAHs and Benzene reveal strong, broad absorption features across the entire 300 - 6200 cm$^{-1}$ (33 - 1.6 $μ$m) frequency range. In particular, when a FWHM of 15 cm$^{-1}$ is applied, the composite CN-PAH spectrum is almost indistinguishable from the unsubstituted-PAH spectrum. At high resolution, however, the infrared absorption spectra reveal unique, identifiable features of CN-PAHs in the 700 - 950, 1100 - 1300, 2000 - 2500, and 3400 - 3600 cm$^{-1}$ ranges. The in-plane and out-of-plane CH bending vibrational frequencies of CN-PAHs are shifted when comparing isomers and to their unsubstituted counterparts, making their differentiation in mixed laboratory experiments possible. The overall aromatic CH stretch fundamental (2950 - 3200 cm$^{-1}$) and first overtone (5950 - 6200 cm$^{-1}$) regions are relatively unaffected by the cyano-substitution, with changes only to the breadth and intensity of the bands. Detailed spectroscopic data on the normal mode components of each state reported herein provide the means to directly assign future laboratory spectra and to guide direct IR observations of astronomical regions with, e.g., JWST.

description: Procambarus curdi Reimer, 1975: Red River Burrowing Crayfish
General charateristics. Adults rarely exceed 100 mm in total length. The carapace is ovate with reduced or no cervical spines and the areola is open. The rostrum is lacking lateral spines and has a short acumen with a troughlike depression. Chelae are subcylindrical, long, and the mesial surface of palm has tubercles. In form I males, gonopods reach the base of the third pereiopods and terminate in four terminal processes. Central projection is corneous, subtriangular, and flattened lateromesially. In females, annulus ventralis is subovate, and the cephalic half has a broad V-shaped trough (Reimer, 1975).
Life coloration. Background color olive-green to light bluish gray. Highlights of red are present on the tail, cervical groove, and on chelae (Figure 77). Chelae usually are a lighter gray or with a blue tint. Two rows of darker blotches run longitudinally on the dorsal side of abdomen. Ventral side is whitish.
Similar species. In Oklahoma, P. curdi closely resembles P. simulans. Procambarus curdi can be differentiated from P. simulans by the caudal process of the gonopod, which is flattened lateromesially rather than cephalocaudally as in P. simulans (Reimer, 1975).
Distribution and habitat. Procambarus curdi occurs in the Red River drainage of southeastern Oklahoma and southwestern Arkansas, as well as the Brazos River drainage in Texas (Johnson & Johnson, 2008). Procambarus curdi generally occurs in semi-permanent water bodies such as ditches, backwater pools, and intermittent streams. It can also be found in open water during the juvenile release period. Procambarus curdi will burrow when water sources start to recede. In Oklahoma, P. curdi is found in the southeastern counties along the Red River. Our ecological niche model indicates that P. curdi is mainly confined to the Red River drainage, although one area just north of the Ouachita Mountains may provide suitable environmental condition conditions (Figure 78).
Life history. Procambarus curdi appears to be a secondary burrower as the majority of collections known were from burrows located on the bank of streams or rivers (Reimer, 1975). Males (form I and II) and females have been collected year round from burrows. To our knowledge no ovigerous females or females with young have been collected in Oklahoma. Procambarus curdi is more active and leaves burrows on warm humid nights usually after rain events.
Syntopic species. Procambarus simulans.
Conservation status. AFS: Currently Stable; Heritage Rank: Widespread (G5); IUCN: Least Concern; ODWC: Not Listed.

description: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of first-line sintilimab plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) from the perspective of the Chinese health service system. A partitioned survival model was constructed to simulate quality-adjusted life years and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios over a patient’s lifetime based on a phase III clinical trial. Sintilimab plus chemotherapy increased by 0.316 QALY and 0.285 QALY with the additional cost of $5692 and $5269, which led to the ICER of $18000/QALY and $18519/QALY gained in the overall population and the patients with CPS ≥ 10, respectively. Compared with chemotherapy alone, sintilimab may be a cost-effective first-line treatment choice for locally advanced or metastatic ESCC.

description: Recently, the IMmotion151 trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and found that this combination led to longer progression-free survival. However, no studies have evaluated the cost-effectiveness of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. We constructed a Markov model to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, using costs and utilities from the published studies. We set the willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold at $150,000. One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed to ensure that our results were robust. We performed a threshold analysis to explore a more appropriate price for atezolizumab. Our results found that although atezolizumab plus bevacizumab provided more quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), its incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was $1,640,532/QALY, well above the WTP threshold. One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analysis results confirmed the robust of this conclusion. Based on the threshold analysis, for atezolizumab plus bevacizumab to be cost-effective, the price of them would need to be reduced by 46.3% or more. From the perspective of US payers, atezolizumab plus bevacizumab is not cost-effective for mRCC patients. To make this combination cost-effective in the future, the price of atezolizumab and bevacizumab needs to be reduced.

description: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) imposes a significant financial burden on health-care systems. This study aims to determine the cost-of-illness (COI) for MS in Jordan, a country where data on the economic impact of MS are scarce. Data were collected for one year, annual COI was estimated using a cross-sectional snowball sampling design. Eligible patients completed a self-reported questionnaire to provide sociodemographic, physician visit, and diagnostic and laboratory test data. Indirect costs were estimated using an adjusted Human Capital Approach. This study included 383 patients, (73% females, 61% between 26-45). Eighty % took disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), and 40% had relapses in that year. One-third use non-DMTs and equipment for assistance. The average annual cost per patient was $11,719 (direct costs=$11,252, indirect costs=$467). The total annual cost for all participants was $748,299. The estimated cost of non-DMT, medical tools, diagnostic tests, and hospitalization per patient was $53, 51, 99, and 235 respectively. High costs of DMTs state the necessity of resource optimization in Jordan public healthcare facilities. Such findings yield policy-informing actionable insights, suggesting strategic investments in more cost-effective DMTs with potential improvement in accessibility and reduction in the overall economic burden faced by both patients and governments.

description: Procambarus dupratzi Penn, 1953: Southwestern Creek Crayfish
General charateristics. Adults rarely exceed 100 mm in total length. As a member of the subgenus Pennides, P. dupratzi is the only known crayfish in Oklahoma to have two cervical spines. The rostrum is rather long with prominent lateral spines. Chelae are narrow and cylindrical. Fingers are approximately the same length as the palm. In form I males, the mesial process is slender and directed approximately 90° to shaft. The caudal knob is poorly developed and pentastyle is absent (Walls, 2009). In females, the annulus ventralis has median sinus and is partially covered by tubercles on anterior end (Penn, 1953).
Life coloration. The background color olive drab to brown. There is a darker brown band at the posterior edge of the carapace that extends forward along the lower edge of the carapace. Black stripes run longitudinally along the outer edges of the abdomen (Figure 79). Fingers are usually orange at the tips. The ventral side is light brown to white.
Similar species. No other species resembles P. dupratzi, as this species is the only Procambarus species in Oklahoma to have two cervical spines.
Distribution and habitat. Procambarus dupratzi has a disjunct distribution and occurs in southeastern Oklahoma and southwestern Arkansas as well as southeast Texas and southwestern Louisiana. In Oklahoma, P. dupratzi was collected in three tributaries of the Little River in McCurtain County (Jones & Bergey, 2005). Our ecological niche model indicated that suitable environmental conditions may also exist further north into the Ouachita and Boston Mountains (Figure 80). Procambarus dupratzi typically inhabits relatively cool streams with clear and sometimes tannin stained water and is a tertiary burrower. We have collected in microhabitats with emergent aquatic vegetation, leaf litter, and other debris which has been found in other surveys (Walls, 2009).
Life history. In Louisiana, form I males have been found year round (Walls, 2009). In Oklahoma, this species was collected in January, May, October, and November. To our knowledge, no form I males, ovigerous females or females with young have been collected in Oklahoma, as this species was only discovered recently during survey work conducted within the state (Jones & Bergey, 2005).
Syntopic species. Cambarus ludovicianus and Orconectes palmeri longimanus.
Conservation status. AFS: Currently Stable; Heritage Rank: Widespread (G5); IUCN: Least Concern; ODWC: Not Listed.
