P face at least a month’s worth of Medicare payment reductions if Congress doesn’t reconcile on the provisions of a spending bill by the end of January. “Physicians once again have been penalized by a Medicare reimbursement formula that might negatively impact our ability to care for our patients,” said Dr. W. Michael Alberts, FCCP, President of the American College of Chest Physicians. “The ti...

Will jams get worse when slow cars move over ?

– Motivated by an analogy with traffic, we simulate two species of particles ('vehicles'), moving stochastically in opposite directions on a two-lane ring road. Each species prefers one lane over the other, controlled by a parameter 0 ≤ b ≤ 1 such that b = 0 corresponds to random lane choice and b = 1 to perfect 'laning'. We find that the system displays one large cluster ('jam') whose size inc...

Move it on over: getting proteins across biological membranes.

The translocation of proteins across membranes is a central problem in biology. Regardless of the system in question, delivering proteins across a given membrane relies on many of the same basic themes. At the same time, however, each membrane translocation system, be it signal-gated or signal-assembled, makes use of components unique to that system. The latest findings on protein translocation...
