The Evaluation of Grazing Environment Condition : The Scales, the Slopes and the Ground Condition of Grazing Pasture

In a present paper, we reviewed some of the welfare concerns about grazing condition. It was thought that the largest scale of the grazing environment had to consider the range where the animal moved. On the other hand, the smallest scale of grazing environment might be needed to consider the inter-individual distance of animals. The slope of grazing environment might be considered advantageous because of the exercise provided. However, high sloping areas seem to be avoided as resting area and the sloping pasture with little resting area is not a good choice when trying to provide an adequate environment. The ground conditions of crowding area should be controlled by the location of amenities. We thought that the standards for cattle management should include ample evaluation of grazing environment and these information would be necessary to determine appropriate standards for grazing environment

Association between the size of healthcare facilities and the intensity of hypertension therapy: a cross-sectional comparison of prescription data from insurance claims data

Hypertension is a heterogeneous disease for which role sharing in treatment between specialized facilities and small clinics is needed for efficient healthcare provision. However, the Japanese healthcare system has a "free access" attribute; therefore, nobody can control treatment resource allocation. We aimed to describe the current situation of role sharing by comparing antihypertensive therapies among different types of medical facilities. We analyzed 1% sampled Japanese medical insurance claims data related to outpatient care as of October 2014. We divided the target patients into four groups according to the size of the facilities that issued the insurance claim for them. Among these groups, we compared the number of antihypertensive drugs and proportion of difficult-to-treat hypertensive cases and performed a stratified analysis. The proportion of patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus receiving renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASis) as the first-choice drug was also compared. We identified 3465, 1797, 2323, and 34, 734 claims issued from large, medium-sized, small hospitals, and clinics, respectively. The mean number of hypertensive drugs was 1.96, 1.87, 1.81, and 1.69, respectively, and the proportion of difficult-to-treat hypertensive cases was 18.9, 17.0, 14.3, and 12.0%, respectively, with both showing significant differences. Stratified analysis showed similar results. The proportion of patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus receiving RAASis as the first-choice drug was higher in large hospitals than in clinics. In conclusion, facility size is positively associated with the number of antihypertensive drugs and proportions of difficult-to-treat hypertensive cases. This finding describes the current role sharing situation of hypertension therapy in the Japanese healthcare system with a "free-access" attribute
