The Increasing Importance of Quality of Life

The U.S. population has been migrating to places with high perceived quality of life. With homothetic preferences, such migration can follow from the increased demand for amenities that accompanies broad-based technological progress. Under the baseline calibration of a general equilibrium model, a place with amenities for which individuals would initially pay five percent of their income grows ...

The Increasing Importance of Gene-Based Analyses.

In recent years, genome and exome sequencing studies have implicated a plethora of new disease genes with rare causal variants. Here, I review 150 exome sequencing studies that claim to have discovered that a disease can be caused by different rare variants in the same gene, and I determine whether their methods followed the current best-practice guidelines in the interpretation of their data. ...

1 . The Increasing Importance of Learning

Increasingly, learning is happening outside of formal classroom instruction. As a consequence, learners need to make multiple decisions, such as what to study, when to study, and how to study, and computer-based technologies offer multiple options and opportunities for how to manage one’s own learning. Knowing how to learn effectively has never been more important, not only during the years of ...

The Relationship between Metabolic Disorders and Helminth Diseases

Les auteurs passent en revu les perturbations du metabolisme general et particulier et en tirent les consequences d'ordre pathologique et therapeutique. 

the laboratory diagnosis of inherited metabolic disorders

diagnosing inherited metabolic disorders is a joint effort of both clinical and laboratory disciplines. various aspects of metabolite, enzyme and mutation analysis will be discussed based on the experience of the metabolic section of the erasmus university medical centre. where should laboratory diagnosis start from? metabolite, enzyme or dna level? the emphasis will be on enzyme analysis of th...
