The Advantages of Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy
Tice, Alan D. 대한화학요법학회 2002 대한화학요법학회지 Vol.20 No.2
Outpatient Parenteral Animicrobial Therapy (OPAT) is a way to provide intravenous antobiotic therapy that can save money as well as improve patient lives. Programs can be developed to treat patients with serious infections with shorter courses of hospital care or entirely outside the hospital. With OPAT, it is possible to give IV therapy in a hospital clinic, a doctors office, an infusion clinic, or in the patients home.
Financial Sector Growth and Annuitization: Evidence from the United States

We investigate a plausible explanation for the annuitization puzzle, whereby individuals do not annuitize their retirement savings even when rational choice theory suggests that annuitization is a sure way to address longevity risk. Our main purpose is to evaluate the role of a growing local financial sector in promoting annuitization. We assume that annuity benefit payments reflect the effort of the population to protect against longevity risk. Using a unique, U.S. state-level annual dataset for the years 1970-2013, we test whether the development of the financial sector is related to the aggregate decision of a state’s population in the decision to annuitize. We find that there is a strong positive relationship between the share of compensation in a state’s financial sector and the level of annuity payments in a state. The results are robust to four empirical specifications and support our suggestion that the development of a financial sector is a consideration in the state population’s decision to annuitize.

Purpose: Combined medial tibiofemoral and symptomatic patellofemoral osteoarthritis is not amenable to unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR). Total knee replacement (TKR) is an invasive option in younger adults with high functional demands. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcome of patients who have undergone UKR, bicompartmental knee replacement (BKR) and TKR up to 2 years post-operatively. Materials and methods: This prospective study comprised 133 subjects including 30 patients in the medial UKR group, 53 patients in the BKR group (combined medial UKR with patellofemoral joint replacement) and 50 patients in the TKR group. All subjects were evaluated using the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and the Western Ontario and MacMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Patients in each group were assessed using both scoring systems pre-operatively and 6 months, 1 year and 2 years post-operatively. Results: Significant improvement of OKS was found at 6 months compared to baseline for UKR (22.7 to 38.1, p = 0.046), BKR (22.6 to 36.8, p < 0.001) and TKR (16.6 to 34.5, p < 0.001). Significant improvement was also found for the WOMAC sub-scores for all three groups during this time period. After 6 months, there was no further statistically significant improvement in either outcome score in any of the groups up to the 2-year follow-up results. There was no significant difference in either outcome score post-operatively between the three groups. Conclusion: The magnitude of clinical improvement following knee replacement is greatest at 6 months; thereafter, only modest improvements continue to occur. This study also found no significant differences of outcomes at 2 years after surgery among UKR, BKR and TKR. BKR is a good alternative option for combined symptomatic medial and patellofemoral arthritis of the knee.
