Nonadherence, clinical inertia, or therapeutic inertia?
in which certain therapies have adequate, even overwhelming if not unequivocal, evidence of effectiveness.5 Clinical inertia occurs, for example, when the patient fails to attain a biomarker goal (e.g., blood pressure less than 140/90 millimeters of mercury [mm Hg]) due at least in part to failure to intensify pharmacotherapy through upward dosing and/or addition of drugs to the therapeutic reg...
متن کاملAgainst inertia
In this paper I question the Inertial Theory of language change put forward by Longobardi (2001), which claims that syntactic change does not arise unless caused and that any such change must originate as an ‘interface phenomenon’. It is shown that these two claims and the contention that ‘syntax, by itself, is diachronically completely inert’ (Longobardi, 2001:278), if construed as a substanti...

Moral inertia is manifested in scenarios with a particular causal structure: deflection scenarios, where a threatening or benefiting process is diverted from a group of people to another. I explain why the deflection structure is essential for moral inerti...
متن کاملDynamic Competition with Consumer Inertia Dynamic Competition with Consumer Inertia
We study a framework where two duopolists compete repeatedly in prices and where chosen prices potentially affect future market shares, but certainly do not affect current sales. This assumption of consumer inertia causes (noncooperative) coordination on high prices only to be possible as an equilibrium for low values of the discount factor. In particular, high discount factors increase opportu...
