The Impact of Nurse Practitioner Full Practice Authority on Chronic Condition-Related Readmissions and Emergency Department Visits in the United States
BACKGROUND: Chronic conditions affect over 60% of US adults and drive nearly 90% of the nation's $4.9 trillion in annual health care costs. Nurse practitioners (NPs), particularly in Full Practice Authority (FPA) states, may be critical to improving outcomes and reducing health care burdens. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether nurse practitioner FPA reduces hospital readmissions and emergency department visits related to chronic conditions across the…
Recruitment Techniques Used for Clinical Trials and the Potential Impact of Nudges
While clinical trials are essential to improving public health, little research has examined the range of recruitment techniques used or whether they involve behavioral nudges. Behavioral nudges have been defined as "any aspect of the choice architecture [the manner in which options are presented] that alters people's behavior in a predictable way without forbidding any options or significantly changing their economic incentives"; these may influ…
The Haves, the Have‐nots, and the Will‐nots
What if science enabled us to live an extended lifespan? Well, not us, but people in the future, and perhaps not everybody in the future, at least not at first. Should we allow and encourage science to develop this capability, or should we try to prevent or inhibit it? John Davis's book New Methuselahs: The Ethics of Life Extension is a thorough exploration of these questions. He presents the arguments for and against developing this capacity, an…

Biogerontology, "Anti-Aging Medicine," and the Challenges of Human Enhancement
Eric T. Juengst, Robert H. Binstock, Maxwell Mehlman, Stephen G. Post, Peter Whitehouse, Biogerontology, "Anti-Aging Medicine," and the Challenges of Human Enhancement, The Hastings Center Report, Vol. 33, No. 4 (Jul. - Aug., 2003), pp. 21-30
Enhancing Cognition in the Intellectually Intact
As science learns more about how the brain works, and fails to work, the possibility for developing "cognition enhancers" becomes more plausible. And the demand for drugs that can help us think faster, remember more, and focus more keenly has already been demonstrated by the market success of drugs like Ritalin, which tames the attention span, and Prozac, which ups the competitive edge. The new drug Aricept, which improves memory, most likely wil…
United States Restrictions on Exports to South Africa
Since 1964 the United States has restricted military exports to the Republic of South Africa and to Namibia in compliance with a voluntary arms embargo established by the United Nations. In 1977 the United Nations, with United States support, made this ban mandatory. Shortly thereafter, the Department of Commerce significantly broadened U.S. export restrictions by prohibiting all exports—not merely arms and other military equipment—that the expor…
