Chapter 6 - Government intervention, in this chapter you will learn: The effect of a price ceiling or a price floor on the equilibrium price and quantity, the effect of a tax or a subsidy on the equilibrium price and quantity, how elasticity and time period influence the impact of a market intervent[r]
Equilibrium analysis 967tion of an equilibrium problem and then investigates the manner in which this theoretical solution works out ‘practically’ in the corresponding market.8 Second, we observe when going over Walras’ list of assets that very considerable emphasis is placed up[r]

Optimizing patient selection is a necessary step to design better clinical trials. ‘Life expectancy’ is a frequent inclusion criterion in phase II trial protocols, a measure that is subjective and often difficult to estimate. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with early death[r]
The purpose of this phase II study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of weekly irinotecan and capecitabine (wXELIRI) treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, specifically the rate of severe diarrhea.

gel filtered. The fractions containing the reduced dimer werepooled and air oxidized. The amount of the MxM form inthe isolated sample at this stage was 85%. Aliquots werethen separately incubated at 4 °Cand37°C, and the extentof the swapping was assessed as previously described.Figure[r]
Cancer is a major public health issue and represents a significant economic burden to health care systems worldwide. The objective of this analysis was to estimate phase-specific, 5-year and lifetime net costs for the 21 most prevalent cancer sites, and remaining tumour sites combined, in Ontario, C[r]
This paper describes about a study protocol of phase I/II multicenter prospective clinical trial evaluating the feasibility and efficacy of the hybrid of intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy (HBT) for locally advanced uterine cervical cancer patients.
Despite all benefit provided by established therapies prognosis of gastric cancer remains poor. Targeted inhibition of platelet derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) by imatinib may influence tumor growth and amplify chemotherapeutic effects.
This phase II bridging study assessed the safety and efficacy of nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine (Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Clinical Trial [MPACT] regimen) in Chinese patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer (MPC).

Source and sink activity measured after anthesis in six poplar rice cultivars. The experiment was laid in randomized block design with six cultivars MTU-1001, MTU1010, MTU-7029, BPT-2231, BPT-3291 and BPT-5204 replicated four times. After anthesis, top three leaves separately, top three internodes c[r]
of DAPI fluorescence of a nucleus was measured using aUG 306-380 excitation filter and a LP 410 barrier filter(Zeiss, Jena, Germany). The position of the cell in referenceto the x- and y-axes of the scanning stage was recorded usinga microcomputer (PC-9801UX, NEC, Tokyo, Japan). Sec-ond,[r]
Biliary tract cancer (BTC) is a dismal disease, even after curative intent surgery. We conducted this prospective, non-randomized phase II study to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of cisplatin and gemcitabine as adjuvant treatment in patients with resected BTC.
Nintedanib is a potent, oral angiokinase inhibitor that targets VEGF, PDGF and FGF signalling, as well as RET and Flt3. The maximum tolerated dose of nintedanib was evaluated in a phase I study of treatment-refractory patients with advanced solid tumours.
Our aim was to investigate the expression of c-Met in advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in four phase II trials who had tumor tissues from archival in our center and analyze the correlations between c-Met expression and clinical features.
Patients with advanced endocrine cancers, such as adrenocortical carcinoma and medullary thyroid carcinoma, have few well-validated therapeutic options. Pre-clinical studies have suggested potential activity of imatinib in these tumors. We therefore sought to establish a safe, novel treatment regime[r]
Cigarette smoke extract promoted EBV replication, in- duced the expression of the immediate-early transcrip- tional activators Zta and Rta, and increased transcriptional expression levels of BFRF3 and gp350 in the lytic phase [3]. CDK4 is a member of the cyclin-dependen[r]
The phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) pathway is the most commonly activated pathway in cancers due to mutations at multiple nodes and loss of PTEN. Furthermore, in endometrial cancer (EC), PI3K and RAS/RAF/ MEK/MAPK (RAS/MAPK herein) pathway mutations frequently co-exist.
