Bioequivalence: tried and tested

Two drug products are considered bioequivalent 'if their bio-availabilities ... are similar to such a degree that their effects, with respect to both efficacy and safety, will essentially be the same'. 1 The bioequivalence of two drug products is generally demonstrated through a clinical study in healthy volunteers, the so-called bioequivalence study. If bioequivalence is shown for two drug pro...

SuDS — innovation or a tried and tested practice ?

There are many obstacles to the implementation of sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) in England and Wales as a viable alternative to conventional pipe systems. However, in Scotland these obstacles have been largely overcome and many SuDS schemes have been successfully implemented over the past decade. This paper will review SuDS in Scotland and compare the structure of the water companies nort...

Physics. Is quantum mechanics tried, true, wildly successful, and wrong?

Antony Valentini has never been happy with quantum mechanics. Sure, it’s the most powerful and accurate scientific theory ever devised. Yes, its bizarre predictions about the behavior of atoms and all other particles have been confirmed many times over with multi-decimalplace exactitude. True, technologies derived from quantum mechanics may account for 30% of the gross national product of the U...

Hospitalist faculty members often fill roles not typically held by other academic faculty, maintain heavy clinical workloads, and participate in nontraditional activities. Because of these differences, there is concern about how academic hospitalists may fare in the promotions process. OBJECTIVE To determine factors cri...
