New pulmonary therapies directed at targets other than CFTR
No full textOur current understanding of the pathogenesis of cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease stresses the importance of the physical and chemical properties of the airway surface liquid (ASL). In particular, the loss of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel function in CF reduces the volume and fluidity of the ASL, thus impairing mucociliary clearance and innate antimicrobial mechanisms. Besides direct approaches to restoring mutant CFTR function, alternative therapeutic strategies may also be considered to correct the basic defect of impaired salt and water transport. Such alternative strategies are focused on the restoration of mucociliary transport by (1) reducing sodium and fluid absorption by inhibiting the ENaC channel; (2) activating alternative chloride channels; and (3) increasing airway surface hydration with osmotic agents. Therapeutic approaches directed at targets other than CFTR are attractive because they are potentially useful to all patients irrespective of their genotype. Clinical trials are underway to test the efficacy of these approaches
The Political Development of F. Scott Fitzgerald
No full textThe image of the frivolous playboy clings to F. Scott Fitzgerald's reputation like a barnacle on a ship. He helped build the image himself, of course, but ita's a false one, or partially false at any rate. Most of the time Fitzgerald was a serious, committed artist. Yet people persist in thinking of him as an artist in spite of himself, a Pooh Bear of remarkable talent but lamentably little brain.</jats:p

Valuing health care using willingness to pay: a comparison of the payment card and dichotomous choice methods
No full textThis paper compares willingness to pay (WTP) estimates generated from the dichotomous choice (DC) and payment card (PC) approaches. In a split-sample WTP experiment concerned with allocating scarce health care resources across three health care interventions, the DC approach is shown consistently to generate larger welfare estimates than the PC. Observed difference between PC and DC experiments cannot be explained by the inclusion of non-demanders or methods of statistical analysis but may be partly explained by "yea-saying". No evidence of range bias or mid-point bias was found with PC responses. Data were also collected on respondents' ordinal rankings of the three interventions and person-trade-offs (PTOs). Neither of these approaches converged with WTP. Future work must address the decision heuristics individuals employ when responding to valuation experiments.</p
