Article truncated after 150 words. The Associated Press is reporting that Republicans' faith in science is falling as Democrats rely on it even more, with a trust gap in science and medicine widening substantially during the COVID-19 pandemic, new survey data shows (Figure 1) (1). Overall, 48% of Americans say they have \"a great deal\" of confidence in the scientific community, the 2021 General Social Survey data shows. Sixty-four percent of Democrats say that, compared with roughly half as many Republicans, 34%. The gap was much smaller in 2018, when 51% of Democrats and 42% of Republicans had high confidence. It's the largest gap in nearly five decades of polling by the General Social Survey, a widely respected trend survey conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago that has been measuring confidence in institutions since 1972.

Here, we report the first case in which Nd:YAG laser (1064nm) laser ablation bronchoscopy was used to treat CP with tracheal involvement. Our patient is a 71-year-old male with a history of CP refractory to medical therapy affecting his trachea who presented to the emergency department with dyspnea. He ultimately underwent bronchoscopy with Nd: YAG laser (1064nm) laser ablation, which resulted in a temporary alleviation of his respiratory symptoms. A repeat laser ablation was planned in hopes of prolonging the patient’s remission, but due to interval changes in the patient’s airway anatomy, it was deemed unsafe. While our patient’s uniquely advanced disease was not amenable to further laser-mediated intervention, it is possible that patients with less advanced disease may experience better outcomes with similar therapy. This case shows the promise laser ablation could hold for patients with tracheal cicatricial pemphigoid.","PeriodicalId":87365,"journal":{"name":"Southwest journal of pulmonary & critical care","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43100231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A 37-year-old woman complaining of chest pain and cough underwent resection of a mediastinal foregut duplication cyst complicated by a 10-day hospitalization with a prolonged air leak. Seven years later, she presented with worsening cough and shortness of breath, complaining of similar symptoms intermittently in the 7 years between her surgery and presentation. Chest CT showed a hyperattenuating lesion obstructing the medial basal segmental airways, with bronchoscopy revealing suture and a pledget obstructing the medial basal segmental right lower lobe bronchus. The pledget and suture were successfully removed. Repeat bronchoscopy several months later showed no residual airway foreign body, although medial basal subsegmental bronchial stenosis prevented advancement of the bronchoscope distally; this finding correlated with the CT impression of airway stenosis or occlusion in this region on the follow up CT. Bronchogenic cysts result from abnormal lung budding and development of the ventral foregut during the first trimester (1).

State regulatory boards that regulate professionals such as doctors, nurses, psychologists, etc. are often appointed by politicians and headed by lawyers. Under this category has been most Medical Boards and their parent organization the Federation of State Medical Boards. Although they claim to be protecting the public, they seem more concerned with identifying “disruptive” physicians and blacklisting them through the National Practitioner Data Bank (1). However, in July the Federation issued a warning to physicians against propagating COVID-19 vaccine misinformation and disinformation citing a \"dramatic increase\" by physicians (2). The statement gave some hope that the Federation was striving to maintain some degree of professional standards by saying that spreading disinformation to the public was dangerous because physicians enjoy a high degree of public credibility.

This results in unnecessary health care costs and antibiotic usage. Thus, this study seeks to determine the coverage of the Valley fever diagnostic test as provided by Arizona insurance companies to increase early diagnosis rates. Methods Through scripted messaging and telephone communications, we contacted 40 health insurance companies in Arizona about their coverage of CPT 86635 (antibody diagnostic assay for Coccidioides) without prior authorization under all plan types provided in both primary and urgent care settings. If prior authorization was required, we discussed the coverage of ICD-10 codes J18.9 (pneumonia, unspecified organism), J18.1 (lobar pneumonia, unspecified organism), or L52 (erythema nodosum). Results Of the 40 health insurance companies contacted, 25 did not answer our inquiries, most requiring member-specific information to share coverage data. The remaining 15 companies covered Valley fever testing, of which 4 required prior authorization for the ICD-10 codes of interest. Of these 15 companies, 14 provided coverage in primary and urgent care settings, and 13 provided coverage for all available plans. Conclusion All payers that provided information covered Valley Fever testing. Most of the insurance companies that were unable to answer our inquiry likely cover Valley fever testing, but were unable to share information with third party inquiries. Obtaining general coverage information is difficult, which can potentially impact patient care.","PeriodicalId":87365,"journal":{"name":"Southwest journal of pulmonary & critical care","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43075879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We thought a follow-up to our original brief review of COVID-19 in February, 2020 might be useful. As we write this in early December 2021, we again caution that this area is rapidly changing and what is true today will likely be outdated tomorrow. We again borrowed heavily from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) CDC website and the NIH website which have extensive discussions over numerous pages covering COVID-19. Our hope is to condense those recommendations. We do not discuss inpatient care in any detail. COVID-19 Variants The initial steps of coronavirus infection involve the specific binding of the coronavirus spike (S) protein to the cellular entry receptors which are normally on a cell. These include human aminopeptidase N (APN; HCoV-229E), angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2; HCoV-NL63, SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2) and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4; MERS-CoV).
