BACKGROUND Clopidogrel loading has mostly been studied in clopidogrel-naïve patients. Whether clopidogrel-treated patients readmitted for an acute coronary syndrome or percutaneous coronary intervention can benefit from a new load of clopidogrel and at what dose remain unknown. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of 3 different strategies of administration of a loading dose of 900 mg clopidogrel...

Estimates of numerical magnitude in young children and Amazon indigene have been observed to follow Fechner’s Law, with estimates increasing logarithmically with actual value. Two models have been proposed to account for this data. The logarithmic model depicts numeric magnitudes as scaled logarithmically with constant Gaussian variability, whereas the accumulator model depicts them as scaled l...
