Economic analysis has so far said little about how an individual's cognitive skills (CS) are related to the economic preferences in different choice domains, such as risk taking or saving, and domains each other. Using a sample of 1,000 trainee truckers we report three findings. First, there is strong significant relationship between CS preferences. Individuals with better more patient, both short- long-run. Better also associated greater willingness take calculated risks. Second, predict...
Controversy still exists regarding the best endovascular treatment strategy for patients with symptomatic disease of superficial femoral artery. There are conflicting data benefits artery stenting and role primary compared balloon angioplasty provisional stent implantation.A total 206 from 24 centers in United States Europe obstructive lesions proximal popliteal intermittent claudication were randomized to implantation nitinol stents or percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. The mean lesion...
Abstract Explanations of poverty, growth and development depend on the assumptions made about individual preferences willingness to engage in strategic behaviour. Economic experiments, especially those conducted field, have begun paint a picture economic agents developing communities that is at variance with traditional portrait. We review this growing literature an eye towards preference-related experiments field. also offer lessons what economists might learn from experiments. conclude by...
PurposeTo evaluate longer outcomes of primary nitinol stenting for the treatment femoropopliteal lesions up to 15 cm long after these stents were found have superior short-term patency vs. balloon angioplasty. MethodsTwo hundred and six patients (143 men; mean age 67 years) with intermittent claudication due superficial femoral proximal popliteal artery randomized (2:1) or angioplasty at 24 US European centers followed 3 years. In that time, died, 20 withdrew consent, 10 lost follow-up,...
In addition to showing that student measures of social preference, a concern for outcomes achieved by other reference agents, are quite different from those obtained in the field with participants who face dilemmas their daily lives, we find links between preferences our and productivity at work. We also stock evolves endogenously respect how widely team production is utilized. Because link preference strong, provide reason wider economics profession take notice preferences.

Bypass grafting to arteries of the lower leg has become standard surgical management advanced peripheral vascular disease. Its success depends on identifying suitable distal vessels. Preoperative preparation includes imaging leg, usually by conventional contrast arteriography. An alternative procedure, magnetic resonance (MR) angiography, been successfully employed in patients with various cardiovascular diseases, but its possible value disease received little attention.
Background and Purpose — Bone formation dystrophic calcification are present in carotid endarterectomy plaques. The clinical significance of these findings is unknown. purpose this study was to determine whether bone extensive associated with stable plaques protective against ischemic vascular events. Methods Carotid were collected from 142 patients (94 men) stenosis. specimens evaluated for lamellar formation, calcifications, inflammatory infiltrates, neovascularization, histological type...
The objectives of this study were to develop and show the efficacy a breath-hold ultrafast three-dimensional (3D) spoiled gradient-echo (SPGR) gadolinium-enhanced MR angiographic technique for imaging aorta renal other visceral arteries abdomen; compare 3D SPGR with two-dimensional (2D) time-of-flight (TOF) non-breath-hold in same patients.We prospectively studied abdominal 68 times 63 consecutive patients 2D TOF angiography. Thirty-two had contrast angiography (n = 23) and/or surgery 24)...
The exact significance of collateral endoleaks is unknown and a topic great debate. Because this uncertainty, some physicians choose to watch wait while others aggressively treat these leaks. purpose investigation was the evaluation efficacy two techniques used in treatment that occur after endovascular aneurysm repair.Patients with 33 angiographically proven type 2 underwent either transarterial inferior mesenteric artery embolization (n = 20) or direct translumbar 13) during an 18-month...

Tournaments can elicit more effort but sabotage may attenuate the effect of competition. Because it is hard to separate and ability, evidence on tournaments thin. There even less because these acts often consist subjective peer evaluation or “office politics.” We discuss real experiments in which quality adjusted output office politics are compared under piece rates find that increase only absence politics. Competitors subvert each other tournaments, as a result, workers produce they expect...
