Calculating incidence rates and prevalence proportions: not as simple as it seems

Granuloma annulare: not as simple as it seems.

Data sharing: not as simple as it seems

In recent years there has been a major change on the part of funders, particularly in North America, so that data sharing is now considered to be the norm rather than the exception. We believe that data sharing is a good idea. However, we also believe that it is inappropriate to prescribe exactly when or how researchers should preserve and share data, since these issues are highly specific to e...

[Reducing asthma treatment: is it as simple as it seems?].

El objetivo máximo en el tratamiento del asma es alcanzar el control total de la enfermedad con el menor riesgo de efectos adversos. Las diferentes guías y consensos nacionales e internacionales, comparten un mismo mensaje en relación al tratamiento: controlar el asma con la menor dosis posible y eficaz de fármacos, referido generalmente al uso de corticoides inhalados (CI).1-4 Las distintas es...

It's not as simple as it seems: continuous positive airway pressure and cheyne-stokes respiration.

Accessible online at: www.karger.com/res In this issue of Respiration, Yasuma [1] reports on 5 cases of congestive heart failure and Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) treated with low levels of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for at least 1 year. The CPAP ameliorated the CSR and improved left ventricular ejection fractions. This confirms previous observations and establishes that quite...

The Recognition Heuristic: Fast and frugal, but not as simple as it seems

Two experiments examine the use of the recognition heuristic which states that, in the absence of other information, individuals make judgments on the basis on recognition alone. This has been shown to be adaptive (Borges, Goldstein, Ortmann & Gigerenzer, 1999) and in Experiment 1 we demonstrate that the heuristic is reliably employed when participants are placed under time pressure. Experiment...
