Adult Medicaid enrollees are more likely to have mental health disorders (MHDs) than privately insured patients and also have high rates of emergency department (ED) visits for ambulatory care-sensitive conditions (ACSCs). We aimed to evaluate the association of MHD and insurance type with ED admissions for ACSC in the United States. ⋯ Among all ED admissions, patients covered by Medicaid are more likely to be admitted for an ACSC when compared with those covered by private insurance, with a larger association being present among patients with MHD comorbidities.

NLRP3 inflammasome activation is recently reported to be linked to the pathogenesis of sepsis. Artemisinin is shown to play beneficial effects in sepsis. However, the impacts of artemisinin on burn sepsis have not been investigated. This study is designed to investigate the role of artemisinin in burn sepsis and the involvement of NLRP3 inflammasome activation. ⋯ Artemisinin protects mice from burn sepsis by attenuating the inflammatory response and alleviating inflammatory infiltration in vital organs, likely through inhibiting the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome.
