Medicare Patients Don’t Need More Information —They Need Someone to Act
The American healthcare system has a default answer for patients who struggle to access care: give them more information. More pamphlets, more portals, more educational resources explaining how benefits work, how to find a specialist, how to appeal a denied claim. The assumption is intuitive and well-intentioned: if patients simply understood the system better, they would use it more effectively. However, for most Medicare patients, that assumption is wrong. The barrier to care isn’t knowledge.
SH2B3 (Lnk) Mutations in Myeloid Neoplasms: Morphologic Spectrum, Co‐Mutation Patterns, and Clinical Correlates
SH2B3 is located on chromosome 12q24.12 and encodes the SH2 domain-containing lymphocyte adaptor protein (lymphoid nodal cell kinase; Lnk) that regulates cytokine signaling, including those mediated by wild-type or mutant MPL and JAK2 [1-5]. In other words, Lnk also functions as a negative regulator of myeloproliferation [6]. In 2010, we described the presence of SH2B3 exon 2 mutations (E208X and A215V) in 2 of 8 patients with idiopathic erythrocytosis [7].

We compared the acute effects of breathing at either RF and RF + 1 breaths per minute on muscle sympathetic nervous activity (MSNA) and baroreflex function.
