Abstract Severe COVID-19 patients develop acute respiratory distress syndrome that may progress to failure. These also cytokine storm syndrome, and organ dysfunctions, which is a clinical picture resembles sepsis. Considering neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been described as an important factors of tissue damage in sepsis, we investigated whether NETs would be produced participate the lung damage. A cohort 32 hospitalized with confirmed diagnosis respective healthy controls were...

We study the relationship between cognitive ability and risk aversion under real hypothetical choice conditions.Our experimental results suggest that statistical is sensitive to incentive conditions of problems used elicit preferences.Individuals in upper tail distribution are willing take more risks.However, this holds only when choices involve payoffs.When monetary incentives, correlation not significant.Results robust using alternative measures ability.

Several studies report that the brain evaluates prospects and executes decisions as outcome of two types mental processes: one described slow reflective other fast intuitive. We investigate how these processes affect risk-taking behaviour in a one-shot decision by using time pressure to establish an intuitive response. observe constraints do not change risk attitudes. Furthermore, it is only when subjects are given ample decide instructed reflect they show well-documented shift preferences...

Background/Aims: HFE mutations are associated with over 80% of cases Hereditary Hemochromatosis (HH), an iron‐overload disease in which the liver is most frequently affected organ. Research on has traditionally focused its interaction transferrin receptor. Recent studies suggested a more complex function for this non‐classical MHC‐I protein. The aim study was to examine how and two common affect expression selected genes hepatocyte‐like cell line. Methods: Gene analyzed HepG2 cells...

This paper investigates the efficacy of a punishment mechanism in promoting cooperative behaviour public goods game when enforcement is risky. Experimental studies have found that sanctioning system can induce individuals to adopt deemed socially acceptable such games. Our experiment qualifies this result by showing only promote if subjects perceive as high-probability event. supports view systems people comply with social norms enhance efficiency are sufficiently credible.

Purpose This study aims to examine the effects of prior small-scale changes wealth on subsequent risky choices. Design/methodology/approach The paper opted for a laboratory experiment in which subjects perform two sequences tasks. In between these sets, author transfers money real randomly selected half subjects. Data choices before and after transfer are used estimate risk attitudes analyze whether affected risk. Findings finds that gain does not change subjects' preferences – neither...
