Why have child pedestrian death rates fallen?

Pedestrian injuries are a leading cause of childhood mortality and disability. Over the past two decades in Britain child pedestrian death rates have fallen despite large increases in traffic volume. In this paper Roberts examines the likely reasons for this decline. He argues that neither prevention programmes nor improvements in medical care are a plausible explanation and that the decline is...

Sodium intake, RAAS-blockade and progressive renal disease.

Pharmacological blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) by angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers is the current standard treatment to prevent progressive renal function loss in patients with chronic kidney disease. Yet in many patients the renal protective effect of RAAS-blockade is incomplete. Short-term clinical studies have demonstrated...

Concerns Surrounding the Introduction of RFID

RFID technology has received a lot of attention when it comes to technical proposals on how to maintain user privacy. Yet, few insights have been gained on what people really fear when they interact with the technology. Is it the flow of information between objects and unnoticed readers? Or do people fear the exchange of fine grained and individually attributable RFID data after collection? Is ...
