BACKGROUND Evidence suggests that an early interventional strategy for patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) can improve health outcomes but also increase costs when compared with a conservative strategy. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of an early interventional strategy in different risk groups from a UK health-service perspec...

introduction: medical tourism as one of the dimensions of tourism is helping in sustainable development and dynamics of the economy. considering the low cost and high income of the industry and its role on strengthening country health structures, many developing countries focused their attention on the industrial sector and planning for it. the purpose of this research was to investigate effect...

Market characteristics, including intrinsic demand and customer sensitivity on price and product performance level, are distinct at different markets. Comparisons of various product development strategies in one market or two geographically separated markets are conducted for three classes of products: development intensive products (DIPs) with constant unit cost, marginal cost-intensive produc...

background: helicobacter pylori may cause many gastrointestinal problems in developing countries such as iran. we aimed to analyze the cost- effectiveness and cost- utility of the test-and-treat and empirical treatment strategies in managing helicobacter pylori infection.            methods: this was a markov based economic evaluation. effectiveness was defined as the symptoms free numbers and ...

Using information in-the-world as external memory may be a low-cost alternative to internal memory: storage is free, and retrieval is often quick (involving a saccade) and reliable. However, when the cost of accessing external information increases, in-the-head storage and retrieval may become the least-cost solution. We employ the rational analysis framework (Anderson, 1990) to study the effec...

Obstacle detection is one of the most important stages in the obstacle avoidance system. This work is focused to explain the operation of a designed and implemented for the overall detection of objects with low computational cost strategy. This strategy of low computational cost is based on performing a spatial segmentation of the information obtained by the SONAR and determine the minimum dist...
