Participants: Medicare beneficiaries of two Medicare Part D plans who had completed a previous telephone interview for a larger project of medication therapy management quality improvement.
Intervention: Self-reported mail survey.
Main outcome measures: Responses to survey items assessing beneficiaries’ perceived importance of proposed Evofosfamide factors affecting their decision to receive CMRs and items evaluating patients’ experiences with pharmacist-provided CMRs if they had one in the previous year.
Results: The valid response rate was 33.4% (238 of 713). Among the proposed factors, “”knowing
the out-of-pocket cost”" (4.12 +/- 1.28 [mean +/- SD]) and “”conductingin the usual pharmacy”" (4.01 +/- 1.37) were most important in making a decision to get a CMR. Factors rated significantly more important by those who had versus had not received a CMR included “”usual pharmacy,”" “”receiving medication list,”" “”physician’s support,”" and “”pharmacists discuss changes with physicians.”" About one-third (30.6%) of respondents reported having pharmacist-provided CMRs within the previous year. Most respondents
Selonsertib believed that having CMRs was important for their health (90.6%) and were satisfied with the results of CMRs (94.7%).
Conclusion: Patients preferred their usual pharmacy or convenient places to have a CMR. Also, a collaborative pharmacist-physician working relationship would be helpful in providing CMRs. Patients who received CMRs expressed a positive attitude toward and satisfaction with pharmacist-provided services.”
“Magnetic properties, magnetoresistance (MR), and spin-transfer switching of magnetic tunnel junctions
having a structure AP24534 clinical trial of Co60Fe20B20 3 nm/MgO 1 nm/(Co75Fe25)(80-X)Cr(V)(X)B-20 2 nm (X=0-25) were investigated. Magnetization of the (Co-Fe)-(Cr, V)-B free layer decreased from 1.2 T before substitution to 0.6 T at Cr of 10% (0.8 T at V of 10%). The MR ratio and a resistance-area product (RA) before substitution were, respectively, about 130% and about 2 Omega mu m(2). The MR ratio decreased to 80% at Cr of 10% and 40% at V of 10%. The RA values were almost independent of the composition. The intrinsic switching current density (J(c0)) decreased from 15 to 8 MA/cm(2) at Cr of 10% and 12 MA/cm(2) for V of 10%. Upon the further increase in Cr and V, stable switching was difficult to observe. In summary, J(c0) decreased to half in the case of Cr, but the effect was small for V.
