Greater probability of extreme precipitation under 1.5 °C and 2 °C warming limits over East-Central Asia
Abstract East-Central Asia is one of the most vulnerable and sensitive regions to climate change, and the variability of extreme precipitation attracts great attention due to the large population and the importance of its economy. Here, three special runs with the Community Earth System Model (CESM) are used to project the changes in representative extreme precipitation indices (Rx1day, Rx5day, R95p, SDII) over East-Central Asia under the 1.5 °C and 2 °C Paris Agreement limits....

Ensemble perception without attention depends upon attentional control settings
Abstract People are able to rapidly extract summary statistical information about common patterns, or ensembles, that may exist in a scene, such as repeated textures or colors. Here we examined the extent to which such an ensemble perception can occur in the absence of focal visual attention using a method that has some advantages over methods previously used to study the issue. In particular, we assessed the extent to which ensembles can be processed without attention by measuring...

Fenestrated Repair Improves Perioperative Outcomes but Lacks a Hospital Volume Association for Complex Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (cAAAs) have traditionally been treated with an open surgical repair (OSR). Over the past decade, fenestrated endovascular graft repair (FEVAR) has emerged as a viable option. Hospital procedural volume to outcome relationship for OSR of cAAAs has been well established but the impact of procedural volume on FEVAR outcomes remains undefined. This study investigates the outcomes of OSR and FEVAR for the treatment of cAAAs and examines the hospital volume-outcome relationship...

A scoping review of the rationale and evidence for cost-effective analysis of fenestrated-branched endovascular repair for intact complex aortic aneurysms.
Cost-effectiveness analysis of new interventions is increasingly required by policy makers. For intact complex aortic aneurysms (CAA), fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair (F-BEVAR) offers a minimally invasive alternative option for patients who are physically ineligible for open surgical repair (OSR). Thus, F-BEVAR is increasingly used, but whether it represents a cost-effective treatment option remains unknown.

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Immediate Access Arteriovenous Grafts Versus Standard Grafts for Hemodialysis
Immediate access arteriovenous grafts (IAAVGs), or early cannulation arteriovenous grafts, are more expensive than standard grafts (sAVGs) but can be used immediately after placement, reducing the need for a tunneled dialysis catheter (TDC). We hypothesized that a decrease in TDC-related complications would make IAAVGs a cost-effective alternative to sAVGs.

Financial viability of endovascular aortic repair in the modern era: a single center experience
In the current era of cost containment, the financial impact of high-cost procedures such as endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) remains an area of intensive interest. Prior reports suggest slim to negative operating margins with EVAR, prompting widespread initiatives to reduce cost and improve reimbursement. In 2015, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced the reclassification of EVAR to more specific diagnosis-related group (DRG) coding and predicted an overall increase in...
