Consumption in Retirement: Recent Developments

In this paper, I survey the recent literature on the behavior of consumption as households transition to retirement. A large literature has emerged showing a “retirement consumption puzzle”a sharp decline in expenditures as households transition into retirement. However, after aggregating the results of the literature, I show that the “retirement consumption puzzle” is a misnomer. The only cate...

Phytoestrogens: recent developments

Phytoestrogens are polyphenolic non-steroidal plant compounds with estrogen like activity exerted through estrogen receptors. These receptors are distributed in several tissues such as male and female reproductive systems, bones, cardiovascular and central nervous systems. These natural phenolic compounds include isoflavonoids, flavonoids, lignans and stilbenes. Isoflavonoids are the most studi...

Independent measurement of oxygen consumption and oxygen delivery.

This experiment investigated the relationship between oxygen consumption and oxygen delivery (cardiac output X arterial oxygen content) in an acute canine model. Previous studies investigating this relationship have largely utilized methods in which oxygen consumption and oxygen delivery were each calculated using the same measured variables resulting in mathematical coupling of variables. In t...
