Basic patterns in national health expenditureRameez Rameez
This document summarizes research on national health expenditures. It finds that total health spending as a percentage of GDP rises with country income from 2-9%. Some countries spend less than needed to provide basic services. Most health spending is publicly financed through taxes, social health insurance, or private insurance. Out-of-pocket spending decreases as income rises. The author concludes that in poor countries, total health spending is too low and out-of-pocket costs are catastrophic for some households, so public subsidies are needed to expand insurance coverage to the poor.

Africa is the second largest continent, covering over 30 million square kilometers, which is about 2.5 times the size of the United States. It has a population of over 1 billion people spread across many countries, including Ghana, Niger, Burkina Faso, and South Africa. The continent experiences high levels of poverty and economic inequality between countries exploiting natural resources, like the uranium mining in Niger, and the population. Skin color variation across populations is explained by differing levels of the pigment melanin, with darker-skinned African populations generally having the highest amounts.
Google periodically updates its PageRank algorithm which causes fluctuations in websites' reported PageRanks. This causes anxiety among some webmasters who rely on high PageRank for traffic and revenue. Experienced webmasters know the displayed PageRank is a snapshot and that establishing quality backlinks over time is a more effective strategy for increasing PageRank than short-term gains.

This document summarizes the results of a survey of 250 users of Alibaba's Taobao Marketplace and Taobao Mall sites. The survey asked questions about perceptions of non-cash payments systems in China, internet access costs, and the effectiveness of using the Alibaba sites for marketing new and used products. Most respondents indicated China's non-cash payment systems are inadequate and internet access costs are high. However, most also said the Alibaba sites were very effective for marketing. Further analysis is needed to understand these seemingly paradoxical results.
Acetaminophen toxicity can cause liver damage and failure if too much is ingested. It is metabolized in the liver and toxic metabolites can accumulate if pathways are saturated from overdose. Treatment involves assessing risk using a nomogram plotting acetaminophen levels drawn 4 hours after ingestion. N-acetylcysteine is given if above the risk line to replenish glutathione and prevent toxicity. It is administered orally or intravenously in a multi-dose regimen over days. Outcomes depend on prompt treatment to prevent liver failure and possible need for transplant.
