DES HAUSSES RÉCENTES DE LA TOXICOMANIE CHEZ LES ADOLESCENTS attirent l’attention sur des programmes scolaires d’éducation sur les drogues. On a remis en question l’efficacité des programmes classiques, et des chercheurs préconisent de nouvelles méthodes fondées sur les principes de la réduction du préjudice. Une stratégie de réduction du préjudice reconnaît qu’il est irréaliste d’essayer de pré...

A prospective study of unexpected, difficult laryngoscopy was carried out. During a 7-month period, all general surgery patients in whom the trachea was intubated were assessed; only those with obvious neck pathology were excluded. Ease or difficulty of laryngoscopy was graded by a standard method. There were no grade 4 cases and no failed intubations in a total of 1387 cases. There were signif...

The paper aims to examine the trends and evolution of ecotourism research in last 20 years, highlighting co-citations, collaborations, emerging themes. A total 1387 ecotourism-related from Web Science (WoS) database 1991 2021 were analyzed some bibliometric analyses using CiteSpace V software. WoS was scanned terms “ecotourism” “eco-tourism.” While scanning, “Hospitality, Leisure, Sport, Touris...

This paper revisits two recent studies that estimate the dynamic response of real wages to aggregate demand shocks. Using identical empirical techniques—structural VARs with long-run identifying restrictions—and similar post-war data, [Gamber and Joutz 83 (1993) 1387] and [Spencer 36 (1998) 120] report contradictory findings. After careful examination, I conclude that the reason for this puzzli...

We analyzed the molecular mutations of eight known Japanese glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) variants with unique biochemical properties. Three of them were caused by novel missense mutations: G6PD Musashino by 185 C-->T, G6PD Asahikawa by 695 G-->A, and G6PD Kamiube by 1387 C-->T. Predicted amino acid substitutions causing asymptomatic variants G6PD Musashino (62 Pro-->Phe) and G6PD Ka...

Metrics such as relative hazards and relative risks do not account for the prevalence of a marker over time and its relation to whether and when an outcome occurs. Uncommon markers that have good predictive values and common markers that are poorly predictive may not be (clinically) useful in predicting disease and other health outcomes. Recent work by Little et al. (Am J Epidemiol. 2011;173(12...
