Healthcare technology: is it cost efficient?

A solution containing 0.05% Lipovenös® appears clear to the eye and therefore it is perfectly possible that our centrifuged emulsions contained approximately 10 mg/dl triglycerides as suggested. Consequently, a part of a “direct lipid effect” may still be present even in the centrifuged emulsions. It should be noted, however, that Nadrowitz et al. used Lipofundin® and Intralipid® in their exper...

Efficient Public Sector Downsizing

Most downsizing operations exhibit high financial returns, but their economic returns crucially depend on their design. After briefly comparing public sector employment across countries, this paper analyzes the optimal design of downsizing operations from a microeconomic perspective. It first discusses how to identify redundant workers when individual productivity is observable, as is often the...

In addition to the central postural program, multiple sensory modalities are involved in the organization and control of human erect posture. Numerous studies have focused on the specific role of vestibular,1,2 visual3,4 or muscular5,6 sensory information, but little is known about the role of cutaneous information from the soles. Because they are at the boundary between the body and the ground...
