Different Methods to Define Utility Functions Yield Similar Results but Engage Different Neural Processes
Although the concept of utility is fundamental to many economic theories, up to now a generally accepted method determining a subject's utility function is not available. We investigated two methods that are used in economic sciences for describing utility functions by using response-locked event-related potentials in order to assess their neural underpinnings. For determining the certainty equ...

متن کاملTEG® and ROTEM® in trauma: similar test but different results?
INTRODUCTION Transfusion in trauma is often empiric or based on traditional lab tests. Viscoelastic tests such as thromboelastography (TEG®) and rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM®) have been proposed as superior to traditional lab tests. Due to the similarities between the two tests, general opinion seems to consider them equivalent with interchangeable interpretations. However, it is not cl...
متن کاملReportTwo different hematocrit detection methods : Different methods , different results ?
BACKGROUND: Less is known about the influence of hematocrit detection methodology on transfusion triggers. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to compare two different hematocrit-assessing methods. In a total of 50 critically ill patients hematocrit was analyzed using (1) blood gas analyzer (ABLflex 800) and (2) the central laboratory method (ADVIA(R) 2120) and compared. FINDINGS: Bland...
متن کاملEfficacy of antidepressants: similar but different.
Fountoulakis & Moller (2010) have re-analysed the Kirsch et al. (2008) meta-analysis of newer antidepressants and reached quite different conclusions to the original study. In particular they highlight that both venlafaxine and paroxetine exceed the NICE criteria for ‘clinical significance’ of 3 points on the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) and that the Kirsch et al. analysis undere...
