D rug development is indispensable to deal effectively with disease [1]. However, two dilemmas emerge from clinical research devoted to this goal. First, new drugs are the source of a huge economy ruled not by the standards of the medical profession, but by the rules of business and the market [2]. Second, although the testing and the medical community's " blessing " of a new drug lie entirely ...

Elicitation of information structure from speech is a crucial step in automatic speech understanding. In terms of both production and perception, we consider intonational phrase to be the basic meaningful unit of information structure in speech. The current paper presents a method of detecting these units in speech by processing both the recorded speech and its textual representation. Using syn...

Designing a global pricing strategy for a new pharmaceutical product has become increasingly difficult as geographic reference pricing and parallel trade have introduced global price interdependencies between different nations. What may have been an optimal pricing strategy in a single country may no longer be optimal when considering the international ramifications of this price. The prices se...

Over the course of the last decade, atypical antipsychotic medications (olanzapine, quetiapine, and risperidone) have become first-line choices for acute and maintenance treatment for schizophrenia. In numerous cases, these antipsychotics have replaced typical neuroleptics, which are associated with a high incidence of adverse effects, particularly parkinsonism and tardive dyskinesia.

There is a trend in single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) that small and dedicated imaging systems are becoming popular. For example, many companies are developing small dedicated cardiac SPECT systems with different designs. These dedicated systems have a smaller field of view (FOV) than a full-size clinical system. Thus data truncation has become the norm rather than the exceptio...
