The literature on labor politics explains cooperation among unions, employers and state representatives in new democracies as a function of alliances between politically infl uential unions and left governments. This article introduces an original dataset of labor agreements in new democracies (1994–2004). Using Boolean analysis, it shows that while left governments are typically associated wit...

Vallin, Mortality and Causes of Death in 20th-Century Ukraine, Demographic Research Monographs, DOI 10.1007/978-94-007-2433-4_3, © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012 In 20 years, from one census to the next, the population of Ukraine went from 30.9 million inhabitants in 1939 (RAN 1992 ) to 41.9 million in 1959 (TsSU 1962 ) . However, this steep population growth is merel...

OBJECTIVE To review the treatment choices of women with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) at a single tertiary centre. DESIGN Retrospective review. PATIENTS Women with CAIS identified from our database. RESULTS The study group comprised 141 women with CAIS. Eleven percent (16/141) of women had gonads in situ, 3 of whom were under workup for gonadectomy. The age of gonadectom...

The aims of this phase III study were to assess the efficacy and safety of telaprevir in combination with peginterferon alfa-2b (PEG-IFN) and ribavirin (RBV) for difficult-to-treat patients who had not achieved sustained virological response (SVR) to prior regimens in Japan. The subjects were 109 relapsers (median age of 57.0 years) and 32 nonresponders (median age of 57.5 years) with hepatitis...

Unsaturated fatty acids are ligands of PPAR-g , which up-regulates genes involved in fatty acid transport and TAG synthesis and the insulin-sensitising adipokine adiponectin, which activates fatty acid b-oxidation via PPAR-a action in liver. We investigated the effect of dietary fatty acid interaction with PPARG, PPARA and ADIPOQ gene variants on plasma lipid and adiponectin concentrations in t...

Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions for massive hemorrhage induce systemic ischemic-reperfusion and influence the disposition and pharmacological activity of drugs as a result of a reduction in the level of expression and activity of cytochrome P450s (P450). It was reported that, when organ-preserving solutions are exposed to carbon monoxide (CO), the treatment was effective in suppressing the po...
