Specifically, we focus on the role of imperfect information and bounded rationality for the real business cycle, growth, and money.

BACKGROUND Combination metronomic topotecan plus pazopanib is active against preclinical models of gynecological cancer. Both agents are substrates for ATP-binding cassette family transporters so there is an increased likelihood for pharmacokinetic (PK) drug-drug interactions. PATIENTS AND METHODS PK analyses of topotecan were performed during three cycles of a phase I dose-escalation study o...

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth most common cancer and the second most frequent cause of cancer-related deaths, accounting for 10.4% of cancer deaths worldwide. Despite the improvements, estimated cure rates for patients with advanced stages remain poor, and in the metastatic setting, chemotherapy is the mainstay of palliative therapy and results in objective response rates (ORRs) of only 20-...

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive brain tumor in the adult human, with an average survival of 16 months. A small population of cells within the GBM termed cancer-initiating cells is responsible for the initiation and maintenance of the tumor mass. The traditional glioblastoma cancer cells, grown with serum containing media, display increased rate of genomic instability events...

The current study was done to investigate the preclinical safety and toxicology of Althaea officinalis extract as naturopathic medicine in common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Specimens were treated with 0 (control), 2.5, 5 and 10 g of marshmallow extract for 45 days. Plasma biochemical parameters were measured after 15 and 45 days. Total protein, albumin and globulin levels (p < /em>>0.05). During t...
