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...

The role of clopidogrel in disruption of platelet aggregation is well known. The variability in clopidogrel response is a well-documented phenomenon and has been widely addressed through pharmacogenomics. CYP2C19 has been considered as genetic predictor of clopidogrel response. Owing to the inter-individual variations, CPIC (Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium) had issued guidel...

To estimate HCV seroprevalence in subpopulations of women delivering live-born infants in the North Thames region in England in 2012, an unlinked anonymous (UA) cross-sectional survey of neonatal dried blood spot samples was conducted. Data were available from 31467 samples from live-born infants received by the North Thames screening laboratory. Thirty neonatal samples had HCV antibodies, corr...

Calorie restriction (CR) enhances immune response and prolongs life span in animals. However, information on the applicability of these results to humans is limited. T-cell function declines with age. We examined effects of CR on T-cell function in humans. Forty-six overweight, nonobese participants aged 20-42 years were randomly assigned to 30% or 10% CR group for 6 months. Delayed-type hypers...

BACKGROUND Synthetic colloids are often used during fluid resuscitation and affect coagulation. OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of an isotonic crystalloid and synthetic colloid on coagulation in healthy dogs and dogs with systemic inflammation. ANIMALS Sixteen adult purpose-bred Beagles. METHODS Randomized, placebo-controlled, blinded study. Dogs were randomized into one of two groups re...
