The Individual

Recent electoral research has claimed that individuals in the United States are self–segregating along political lines. In this paper, I use the Twin Cities, Minnesota, metropolitan area as a case study to test for the presence of political segregation through statistical and spatial analyses of electoral data from 1992 to 2012. I find that while segregation by partisan voting at the individual level is comparatively low, it has increased during the study period, and there exists substantial spatial clustering in voting patterns at aggregate levels. These distinct electoral divides between central city and exurb suggest spatial sorting of the electorate in the metropolitan area.

West Nile virus is a new challenge for transplant programs worldwide. It is a mosquito-borne disease, which has become increasingly prevalent in North America since it was first recognized in New York in 1999. A review of a case study and the literature shows that the morbidity and mortality associated with West Nile virus infection and transplant recipients are alarmingly high. Treatment options are limited because of transplant programs' limited experience in working with this virus. Transplant programs must develop action plans for education on West Nile virus and its prevention to decrease the risk of infection among their transplant recipients.
