Factors associated with delays in discharge for trauma patients at an urban county hospital by Tasce Bongiovanni, Christopher Cai, Karla Lindquist

“…Having private insurance or Medicare (compared with public insurance) and discharge against medical advice or absent without leave (compared with home discharge) were associated with reduced likelihood of delays in discharge after all medical needs were met.Discussion These results suggest that policymakers interested in reducing non-medical hospital stays should focus on addressing structural determinants of health, such as lack of housing, bottlenecks at postacute care disposition destinations and lack of adequate insurance.Level of evidence Epidemiological, Level III…”

The thermal expansion of monticellite and olivine by G. Hovis, M. Tribaudino

“…Kroll physical and Fei empirical models have been used to describe the volume and axial thermal expansion of both minerals. High-temperature structural data for these minerals show that the Ca-occupied M2 polyhedron in monticellite expands less than the Mg-occupied site in forsterite, resulting in comparatively lower expansion along the <span class="inline-formula"><i>b</i></span> crystallographic axis. …”
