Measuring mortality reductions in cancer screening trials.
Randomized trials involving large numbers of people and long follow-up have helped measure the mortality reductions achievable by screening for cancer. However, in many of these trials, the reported reductions have been modest. Part of the reason is the inappropriate way the reductions have been calculated. Analyses have largely ignored the fact that there is a time window in the first several ...
متن کاملMeasuring the Value of Mortality Risk Reductions in Turkey
The willingness to pay (WTP) for mortality risk reduction from four causes (lung cancer, other type of cancer, respiratory disease, traffic accident) are estimated using random parameter logit model with data from choice experiment for three regions in Turkey. The value of statistical life (VSL) estimated for Afsin-Elbistan, Kutahya-Tavsanli, Ankara and the pooled case are found as 0.56, 0.35, ...
متن کاملReductions in cortical activity during priming.
Priming is a nonconscious form of memory in which an encounter with a stimulus influences the subsequent identification, production or classification of the same or a related stimulus. Neuroimaging studies have revealed that behavioral priming is typically accompanied by reduced activity in several cortical regions. We review recent studies that have concerned two key issues. First, specificity...
متن کاملSubstantial potential for reductions in coronary heart disease mortality in the UK through changes in risk factor levels.
STUDY OBJECTIVE The UK government called for a 40% reduction in cardiovascular disease mortality in those aged under 75 by 2010. This paper examines the potential for cardiovascular risk factor changes to reduce coronary heart disease deaths in Scotland, and then extrapolates the findings to the UK population. DESIGN Secondary analysis of published data using a previously validated mortality ...
متن کاملPostexercise hypotension is mediated by reductions in sympathetic nerve activity.
Mean arterial pressure (MAP), the product of cardiac output (CO) and total peripheral resistance (TPR), is reduced below preexercise levels after a single bout of mild to moderate dynamic exercise. Thus acute, dynamic exercise may be used as a safe, therapeutic approach to reduce MAP. However, the mechanisms responsible for the postexercise hypotension (PEH) are unknown. We tested the hypothesi...
