Predicting healthcare expenditure by multimorbidity groups

Objectives

This article has two main purposes. Firstly, to model the integrated healthcare expenditure for the entire population of a health district in Spain, according to multimorbidity, using Clinical Risk Groups (CRG). Secondly, to show how the predictive model is applied to the allocation of health budgets.

玉米/鹰嘴豆间作条件下不同施磷量对灌耕灰钙土无机磷组分的影响--测试文章

在甘肃引黄灌区的灌耕灰钙土区域,通过玉米/鹰嘴豆间作种植,采用蒋柏藩、顾益初石灰性土壤无机磷分级方法研究了施磷水平和间作种植方式对玉米、鹰嘴豆土壤无机磷素形态的影响。结果表明：研究区各无机磷形态含量顺序为O-P＞Ca₁₀-P＞Ca₈-P＞Al-P＞Fe-P＞Ca₂-P,施磷能够显著提高玉米和鹰嘴豆土壤中Ca₂-P、Ca₈-P、Al-P和Fe-P的含量,O-P和Ca₁₀-P的含量不随施磷量增加发生显著性变化;与单作相比,间作种植对鹰嘴豆土壤带各无机磷组分含量没有显著影响,但间作玉米种植带土壤各组分无机磷含量均低于单作土壤,其中不施磷肥处理下Fe-P、施纯磷 40 kg·hm^-2处理下Al-P及施纯磷 80 kg·hm^-2处理下Ca₁₀-P的含量显著低于单作土壤。     

Characteristics and sputum conversion of tuberculosis (TB) patients in Kalutara,Sri Lanka

Background

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious bacterial disease; remains as one of the important public health problem affecting every part of the world. Substantial number of TB cases are reported from Sri Lanka every year irrespective of its strong preventive health system.
