hyosun kim’s report “trouble spots in online direct to consumer prescription drug promotion: a content analysis of fda warning letters”aims to teach marketers how to avoid breaching current food and drug administration (fda) guidelines in their online drug promotion. while kim hopes to minimise the potential for online promotion to misinform consumers and the study is carefully conducted, teach...

Since usage of digital video is wide spread nowadays, quality considerations have become essential, and industry demand for video quality measurement is rising. This proposal provides a method of perceptual quality assessment in H.264 standard encoder using objective modeling. For this purpose, quality impairments are calculated and a model is developed to compute the perceptual video quality m...

Electroenchephalography (EEG) recordings collected with developmental populations present particular challenges from a data processing perspective. These EEGs have a high degree of artifact contamination and often short recording lengths. As both sample sizes and EEG channel densities increase, traditional processing approaches like manual data rejection are becoming unsustainable. Moreover, su...

OBJECTIVE To examine the possible effects of discrimination by sex and race on the career patterns of doctors up to six years after qualifying. DESIGN Postal questionnaire follow up survey. PARTICIPANTS 1572 Doctors who graduated from five British medical schools in 1981, 1983, and 1985, including 587 women and 131 doctors from ethnic minorities.

This unit describes how to use the genome annotation and curation tools MAKER and MAKER-P to annotate protein-coding and noncoding RNA genes in newly assembled genomes, update/combine legacy annotations in light of new evidence, add quality metrics to annotations from other pipelines, and map existing annotations to a new assembly. MAKER and MAKER-P can rapidly annotate genomes of any size, and...

ISSN: 1572-3763 As a graduate student, I have often been advised to choose a method that is able to tackle the research question I am asking. Yet, this choice is “something that reaches into the assumptions about reality that we bring to our work” (Crotty 1998, 2). In other words, this choice is not only a simple, rational act o...

OBJECTIVE To investigate characteristics of clinical trials and results on safety and effectiveness reported in US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) documents for recently approved high risk cardiovascular devices compared with the characteristics and results reported in peer reviewed publications. DESIGN A search of the publicly available FDA database was performed for all cardiovascular de...

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) creates the climate for the development of new drugs and clinical research. A 30 year struggle to bring drugs to the market more rapidly culminated in the 1992 Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA). While drug review times have shortened, concerns about drug safety possibly associated with more rapid reviews have led FDA and Congress to tighten safety req...
