Abstract
Several recent papers find evidence that global health aid is being diverted to reserves, education, military, or other sectors, and is displacing government spending. This is suggested to occur because ministers of finance have competing, possibly corrupt, priorities and deprive the...

Abstract
Broad adoption of interventions that prove effective in randomized clinical trials or comparative effectiveness research may depend to a great extent on their costs and cost-effectiveness (CE).

We retrospectively studied 345 adult candidates for de novo HTx. Group U (n = 160) comprised patients primarily listed in urgent status without VAD. Group VAD-45 (n = 167) comprised patients with int...

We investigate the population dynamics of a consumer dependent on two resources, one fixed, the other renewable. Emerging from this structure is a situation of alternative attractors that remain qualitatively robust over a significant range of parameter values. However, a dramatic change in basins o...

The 2006 change in UNOS organ allocation policy resulted in an increase in Status 1A transplants, graft ischemic time and procurement costs, and a decrease in Status 2 transplants, but no effect on mortality on the waiting list within our center.

Abstract
We found people view it as less fair to distribute resources equally when the allocated resource invokes the market by being a medium of exchange than when the allocated resource is a good that holds value in use. These differences in fairness can be attributed to being a medium of exchange, and not...
