European Management Studies

In recent years, spending on health care has increased. It is caused by ageing of the Polish population, and the use of more sophisticated, but more expensive, treatment and diagnostic techniques. For these reasons, management, both at the central and regional levels, has become increasingly difficult. Pharmacoeconomic evaluation is one of the tools in proper management of drugs. It is defined as the comparative analysis of alternative courses of action in terms of their costs and consequences. The aim of the study was to investigate potential role of pharmacoeconomic evaluation in decision making and management in health care in Poland …

Tsc2 Modulates Actin Cytoskeleton And Focal Adhesion Through Tsc1-Binding Domain And The Rac1 Gtpase, Elena Goncharova, Dmitry Goncharov, Daniel J. Noonan, Vera P Krymskaya Dec 2004

Tsc2 Modulates Actin Cytoskeleton And Focal Adhesion Through Tsc1-Binding Domain And The Rac1 Gtpase, Elena Goncharova, Dmitry Goncharov, Daniel J. Noonan, Vera P Krymskaya

Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry Faculty Publications

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) 1 and TSC2 are thought to be involved in protein translational regulation and cell growth, and loss of their function is a cause of TSC and lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). However, TSC1 also activates Rho and regulates cell adhesion. We found that TSC2 modulates actin dynamics and cell adhesion and the TSC1-binding domain (TSC2-HBD) is essential for this function of TSC2. Expression of TSC2 or TSC2-HBD in TSC2-/- cells promoted Rac1 activation, inhibition of Rho, stress fiber disassembly, and focal adhesion remodeling. The down-regulation of TSC1 with TSC1 siRNA in TSC2-/- cells activated Rac1 and induced loss of …

Acetylcholine: Ii. Nicotinic Receptors, Joyce Besheer, Rick A. Bevins Dec 2004

Acetylcholine: Ii. Nicotinic Receptors, Joyce Besheer, Rick A. Bevins

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

The nicotinic cholinergic system has been widely implicated in mediating learning and/or memory processes in human and nonhuman animals. This chapter highlights various areas of basic research in which stimulation or blockade of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) has been shown to affect an animals performance in a variety of tasks thought to measure learning and memory. For example, under certain conditions, stimulation of nAChRs by nicotine (or other nAChRs agonists) can enhance working memory of primates as measured in a delayed matching-to-sample task. Attentional processes are also improved in rats as indexed by a five-choice serial reaction time task. Further, …

Interdependent Assembly Of Specific Regulatory Lipids And Membrane Fusion Proteins Into The Vertex Ring Domain Of Docked Vacuoles, Rutilio A. Fratti, Youngsoo Jun, Alexey J. Merz, Nathan Margolis, William Wickner Dec 2004

Interdependent Assembly Of Specific Regulatory Lipids And Membrane Fusion Proteins Into The Vertex Ring Domain Of Docked Vacuoles, Rutilio A. Fratti, Youngsoo Jun, Alexey J. Merz, Nathan Margolis, William Wickner

Dartmouth Scholarship

Membrane microdomains are assembled by lipid partitioning (e.g., rafts) or by protein-protein interactions (e.g., coated vesicles). During docking, yeast vacuoles assemble "vertex" ring-shaped microdomains around the periphery of their apposed membranes. Vertices are selectively enriched in the Rab GTPase Ypt7p, the homotypic fusion and vacuole protein sorting complex (HOPS)-VpsC Rab effector complex, SNAREs, and actin. Membrane fusion initiates at vertex microdomains. We now find that the "regulatory lipids" ergosterol, diacylglycerol and 3- and 4-phosphoinositides accumulate at vertices in a mutually interdependent manner. Regulatory lipids are also required for the vertex enrichment of SNAREs, Ypt7p, and HOPS. Conversely, SNAREs and actin …

Systemy Refundacji I Metody Regulowania Cen Leków, Katarzyna Nędzi Dec 2004

Systemy Refundacji I Metody Regulowania Cen Leków, Katarzyna Nędzi

European Management Studies

Because of the increasing expenditure on health care, the great majority of countries are looking for methods of reducing treatment costs. Health authorities apply a number of instruments to control prices of pharmaceuticals and their reimbursement in order to ensure the availability of adequate supplies of medicinal products at a reasonable cost, which largely depends on the specificity of medicines that improve people's health and save their lives. The paper presents methods of limiting expenditure on medicines as well as examples of national policies on price setting and reimbursement systems. It also demonstrates how European Union approaches the issues regarding …

Analiza Ekonomiczna W Ochronie Zdrowia - Ograniczenie Kosztów Czy Zwiększenie Opłacalności?, Joanna Lis

Economic assessment in health-care sector is an analysis of two or more alternative therapeutic programmes in respect of their costs and outcomes. Pharmacoeconomics is an economic assessment of pharmaceutical products, i.e. drugs. The aim of the pharmacoeconomic analysis is to supply information useful for the decision-making process concerning the rational allocation of health sector's expenditures. The economic analysis precisely describes the additional value of a particular treatment program for the society and presents arguments that help to choose the optimal one as well. Utilisation of economic analyses results in health sector decision making allows increasing the profitability of treatment, which …

European Management Studies

The health-care systems functioning in the EU countries have emerged as results of varying long- and short-term conditions of political, cultural, social, and economic nature. All these factors have led to the situation in which there is a multitude of organisational and financial methods applied to health care in these countries. Despite the increase of migratory movements within the so-called common market, which brings about the need for a more intensive and regulated exchange of technology and information about the organisation of health care in each country to regulate the movement of medical personnel and patients, the organisation and financing …

Farmakoekonomika Jako Narzędzie Zarządzania Zasobami Ochrony Zdrowia, Marcin Czech

European Management Studies

According to WHO, proper evaluation of health-care programmes needs to take into consideration not only their efficacy and safety, but also their cost-effectiveness. Scarcity of resources in health-care systems triggered the necessity of economic assessment of medical procedures. Following international examples, economic evaluation of health-care programmes is starting to play an increasing role in Poland. Applying the broadest view, economic evaluation is defined as the comparative analysis of alternative courses of action in terms of their costs and consequences. This definition includes economic evaluation of prescribed drugs, summarised by the term pharmacoeconomics (from Greek "pharmacon" - drug, and Greek "oikonomia" …

The Quandary Of Serving Multiple Masters: An Institutional Exploratory Analysis Of Publishing In Business Law, Robert S. Rubin, John R. Olson, Laura Hartman, James A. Belohlav

ExpressO

Notwithstanding published articles on the nature and quality of research and scholarship in practically every other business discipline, to date there has been little systematic evaluation of relevant journals in the business law discipline. This deficiency is due, in part, to the fact that business law may still be described as a developing discipline. Thus, the focus of this article is on delineating the nature of research and scholarship within the business law discipline. Specifically, the publishing practices of business law faculty from academic institutions that were members of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International), the …
