OBJECTIVES: To determine how Medicaid prescription drug policies differ by state, and to assess how these policies affect pharmacies and the drug therapies available to Medicaid patients with HIV infection or tuberculosis. EVALUATION PROCESS: The state affiliates of the American Pharmaceutical Association (APhA) were surveyed to learn how state Medicaid policies impact the provision of prescription drugs to Medicaid patients within their state. The survey focused on Medicaid payment level incentives, Medicaid payments compared with private payments, Medicaid utilization policies, and incentives and disincentives in each state's Medicaid payment system. RESULTS: Approximately two-thirds of the APhA affiliates reported that the Medicaid payment levels in their states for drugs used to treat HIV-related illnesses were at least moderately below private payment levels; in 11 states these Medicaid payments were substantially below those of private payers. Many APhA affiliates responding to the survey stated that the Medicaid program in their state limited the number of reimbursed drugs that Medicaid patients can receive. Eight APhA affiliates reporting that these utilization limits created restrictions on the ability of Medicaid patients with AIDS and HIV-related infections to receive needed medications. CONCLUSIONS: With Medicaid programs becoming the major payers of AIDS-related healthcare, federal policies should standardize Medicaid coverage, payment, and utilization policies for prescription drugs needed by Medicaid recipients with HIV-related conditions. This would enable Medicaid patients to receive necessary and adequate drug therapies regardless of their state of residence. These federally mandated policies also would require an increased federal role in fimancing this expanded Medicaid drug coverage.

State Construction

In the nineteen twenties a group of graduates from the Colegio de San Nicolás and the Universidad Michoacana in Morelia, the capital city of the state of Michoacán, drafted a program for the economic and social development of the countryside that, in the next decade, influenced federal policies and ideas about health care. This article examines the ideas and efforts of two Morelian physicians, Jesús Díaz Barriga (1891-1971) and Enrique Arreguín Vélez (1907-1989) who, during the 1920s and early 1930s, developed an incipient system of rural health in Michoacán. In 1935 they organized the First Congreso of Rural Hygiene, an event which they hoped would launch a state-managed system of rural health, and eventually the socialization of medicine in Mexico.

Great Advance

Research is one of the substantive functions of Higher Education Institutions. For the promotion, development and strengthening of research, it is necessary the participation of academics, the promotion strategies on the part of the institutions and the investment of the state and federal governments. At the Autonomous University of Nayarit there is a great advance in indicators according to international rankings. From this arises, the need to inquire about the actions that are carried out to achieve it. In this work, the objective is to make known which are the strategies implemented by the institution and analyze the total investment in the last five years. For which a comparison is made of the two main sources of financing: Extraordinary Funds and Patronage Resources. It concludes in a reflection on the institutional strategies applied by the Autonomous University of Nayarit, the behavior of the resources provided by both sources of financing mentioned, and the institutional and federal policies.

Molecular Skeleton

Various authors have emphasized the spatial information resident in an electron micrograph taken with adequately coherent radiation. In view of the completion of at least one such instrument, this opportunity is taken to summarize the state of the art of processing such micrographs. We use the usual symbols for the aberration coefficients, and supplement these with £ and 6 for the transverse coherence length and the fractional energy spread respectively. He also assume a weak, biologically interesting sample, with principal interest lying in the molecular skeleton remaining after obvious hydrogen loss and other radiation damage has occurred.
