Uremic Sarcopenia: Clinical Evidence and Basic Experimental Approach

Basic, Applied and Experimental Knowledge and Productivity: Further Evidence

Analyzing a novel dataset we find significantly positive effects of basic, and applied and experimental knowledge stocks on domestic output and productivity for a panel of 10 OECD countries. This letter updates the work of, among others, Mansfield (1980), Griliches (1986) and Adams (1990), at an international setting. JEL Classification: F12: F2: O3.

Compression therapy: clinical and experimental evidence.

AIM A review is given on the different tools of compression therapy and their mode of action. METHODS Interface pressure and stiffness of compression devices, alone or in combination can be measured in vivo. Hemodynamic effects have been demonstrated by measuring venous volume and flow velocity using MRI, Duplex and radioisotopes, venous reflux and venous pumping function using plethysmograph...
