The present paper thoroughly explores second-best efficient allocations in an adverse selection insurance economy. We start from a natural extension of the classical model, assuming less than perfect risk perceptions. We propose first and second welfare theorems, by means of which we describe efficiencyenhancing policies. Notions of weak and strong adverse selection are promising for interpreti...

A 29 year old black female with delayed development and multiple congenital anomalies showing a duplication of 14(q31----qter) is presented. Although clinical features associated with partial duplication of the distal long arm of chromosome 14 are variable, there are some features which are distinctive of this chromosomal abnormality. The clinical findings of 14 cases with duplication distal 14...

Fused in sarcoma (FUS) is mutated in both sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and familial ALS patients. The mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration are not fully understood, but FUS redistributes from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in affected motor neurons, where it triggers endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Ataxin-2 is a polyglutamine protein which normally contains 22 repeats, but e...
