“…Opening clinics in more deprived areas may provide a lifeline for individuals living in these areas. A major barrier to opening such clinics is the financial reality of reduced compensation for Medicaid patients compared with Medicare or privately insured patients . A potential policy solution is expanding Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital programs to support clinic growth by reducing the compensation gap or increasing Medicaid rates nationally to meet federal Medicare levels.…”

ImportanceKnown social risk factors associated with poor visual and systemic health in the US include segregation, income inequality, and persistent poverty.ObjectiveTo investigate the association of vision difficulty, including blindness, in neighborhoods with measures of inequity (Theil H index, Gini index, and persistent poverty).Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cross-sectional study used data from the 2012-2016 American Community Survey and 2010 US census tracts as well as Theil H index, Gini index, and persistent poverty measures from PolicyMap. Data analysis was completed in July 2023.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe main outcome was the number of census tract residents reporting vision difficulty and blindness (VDB) and the association with the Theil H index, Gini index, or persistent poverty, assessed using logistic regression.ResultsIn total, 73 198 census tracts were analyzed. For every 0.1-unit increase in Theil H index and Gini index, there was an increased odds of VDB after controlling for census tract–level median age, the percentage of the population that identified as female sex, the percentage of the population that identified as a member of a racial or ethnic minority group, state, and population size (Theil H index: odds ratio [OR], 1.14 [95% CI, 1.14-1.14; P &lt; .001]; Gini index: OR, 1.15 [95% CI, 1.15-1.15; P &lt; .001]). Persistent poverty was associated with an increased odds of VDB after controlling for census tract–level median age, the percentage of the population that identified as female sex, the percentage of the population that identified as a member of a racial or ethnic minority group, state, and population size compared with nonpersistent poverty (OR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.35-1.36; P &lt; .001).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cross-sectional study, residential measures of inequity through segregation, income inequality, or persistent poverty were associated with a greater number of residents living with VDB. It is essential to understand and address how neighborhood characteristics can impact rates of VDB.

The study of meandering patterns created by geophysical flows is important for a number of fundamental and applied research topics, including stream and wetland restoration, land management, infrastructure design, oil exploration and production, carbon sequestration, flood-hazard mitigation, and planetary paleoenvironmental reconstructions. This volume, Meandering Streamflows: Patterns and Processes across Landscapes and Scales , contains 13 papers that present field, laboratory, and numerical investigations of meandering channels found in distinct environmental and geological contexts, and focus on how the interactions of different autogenic and allogenic processes, both in the horizontal and the vertical dimension, affect meander kinematics and the resulting morphology, sedimentology, and stratigraphic architecture. In this introductory chapter, we offer an overview of the evolution of scientific research on meandering streams over time, aiming to review and discuss meandering patterns in both fluvial and non-fluvial settings. Additionally, we present a new compilation of data on meander morphological features, drawn from both existing literature and novel sources, encompassing over 8000 meander bends discovered across a diverse array of environments.
