We study extensive form games where players might not be able to foresee the possible consequences of their actions and try to exploit the opponents’ believed weaknesses in order to improve upon the final outcome. We build upon existing models of games with limited foresight, endowing players with the ability of higher-order reasoning, and proposing a novel solution concept to address intuition...

OBJECTIVE Most children do not meet the recommended intake of vegetables. Variety was identified as a potential factor to increase children's intake of these foods, as it was shown that variety was effective in improving meal composition in adults. Because younger children are suggested to be more responsive to internal satiation signals than to external food-related cues compared with adults, ...

There is increasing recognition at both the international and national level of the disease burden attributed to psychiatric disorders, yet little is known about how much of this burden is or could be averted by current or scaled-up implementation of effective interventions. In addition, little is known about the costs and cost-effectiveness of such interventions in most regions of the world, e...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY By the expression of several growth factors from activated thrombocytes, the application of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) stimulates angiogenesis and regeneration thus stimulating recovery through cell differentiation. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of PRP injection on patients who had undergone surgery for fracture and in whom delayed union or nonunion had been dete...

SEE PAGE 1102 L eft main coronary artery disease (CAD) (stenosis $50%) is found in 5% to 7% of patients undergoing coronary angiography and is associated with poor prognosis because occlusion of the left main coronary artery compromises blood flow to about 75% of the left ventricle (1). Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery has been the standard of care because of its significant survival...

Screening is the basic practice in cancer prevention for cervical cancer. In the gynecology field, there are several alternative techniques for screening for pre-cancerous lesions for cervical cancer, including the Pap smear, visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA), human papilloma virus (HPV) DNA testing and combined Pap smear and VIA. In this work, the author focused on cost effectiveness an...
