Health Law: Cases, Materials and Problems

For more than two decades, Health Law: Cases, Materials and Problems has defined the field of health law, providing a balanced overview of law as it affects patients, professionals, institutions, and entities that deliver and finance U.S. health care. The 7th Edition of Health Law comprehensively reviews the provisions of the Affordable Care Act with topics such as the oversight of quality (including the latest developments in patient safety), cost control (including consumer-directed health care), guarantees of adequate access to services, exempt-organization tax issues, transactions and relationships among health care professionals and providers, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), and malpractice litigation. The Supreme Court decision in National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius is carefully edited to present all the issues in the case.Written without a policy bias to fairly reflect all viewpoints, the book considers legal and ethical issues involving death, human reproduction, medical treatment decision making, and medical research. It also explores the government\u27s efforts to control costs and expand access through Medicare and Medicaid and examines government attempts to police anticompetitive activities, fraud, and abuse. Using carefully edited primary materials and effective classroom-tested problems, the book exposes students to the core issues in health law using the most recent judicial and statutory materials.https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/law_facbookdisplay/1168/thumbnail.jp

Studies on the cellular site of action of macrophage RNA-antigen complexes

Nonadherent spleen cell populations exposed in vitro to ribonucleic acid-rich preparations from mouse macrophages that had been incubated with human [gamma]-globulin (RNA : HGG) were able to produce specific antibody, as measured by rosette-forming cells, in lethally irradiated (800 R), reconstituted, syngeneic mice. Exposure of the RNA to anti-HGG serum abrogated its ability to initiate antibody synthesis, as did monospecific anti-human [gamma] chain and anti-human [kappa] chain serum. Normal rabbit serum, anti-bovine albumin serum, anti-human [mu] chain or anti-human [lambda] chain serum, when substituted for anti-HGG serum had no effect. Thus, the presence of both [gamma] heavy chains and [kappa] light chains of the antigen in the RNA moiety was indicated. Although both an adherent and a nonadherent cell were required by HGG to stimulate rosetteforming cells in irradiated mice, the need for the adherent cell was eliminated when RNA : HGG was substituted for HGG. In addition, anti-[theta]-treated bone marrow cells exposed to the RNA : HGG were capable of rosette-cell formation, suggesting that RNA attachment converted a T cell-dependent antigen to a T cell-independent antigen.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/21865/1/0000269.pd
