Europeans are left to their own devices.
Slick and efficient or opaque and patchy—these are two of the views about the European medical device regulatory system expressed during a recent US Congress debate. But unlike the case with, say, consumer drug advertising, the devices industry argues that conditions are more favourable in Europe. “European regs are driven by one key goal: innovation,” one industry report suggests. And another ...
متن کاملAre people adapted to their own glasses?
Negative lenses, either in the form of glasses or contact lenses, can correct nearsightedness. Unlike contact lenses, glasses do not only correct, but also induce optic distortions. In the scientific literature, it has often been assumed that people who wear corrective glasses instantaneously account for these distortions when they put their glasses on. We tested this assumption and found that,...
متن کاملAre coral reefs victims of their own past success?
As one of the most prolific and widespread reef builders, the staghorn coral Acropora holds a disproportionately large role in how coral reefs will respond to accelerating anthropogenic change. We show that although Acropora has a diverse history extended over the past 50 million years, it was not a dominant reef builder until the onset of high-amplitude glacioeustatic sea-level fluctuations 1....
متن کاملPhylogenetic networks that are their own fold-ups
Phylogenetic networks are becoming of increasing interest to evolutionary biologists due to their ability to capture complex non-treelike evolutionary processes. From a combinatorial point of view, such networks are certain types of rooted directed acyclic graphs whose of leaves are labelled by, for example, species. A number of mathematically interesting classes of phylogenetic networks are kn...
متن کاملSmart pumps are not smart on their own.
Smart pumps that turn on in a standard mode (i.e., without any dose-checking), or that default to a standard mode, can also discourage compliance because it takes extra effort to switch the pump to the dose-checking mode and to access the library. Smart pumps that call for extra ef fort are more desirable than pumps that turn on in the standard mode because humans can always defeat technology i...
