Abstract:

A central implication of life-cycle models is that agents smooth consumption. We review the empirical evidence on smoothing at frequencies from within the year up to across a lifetime. We find that life-cycle models--particular those which incorporate realistic features of markets and goods--have more empirical successes than failures. We also show that some apparent deviations from theoretical predictions imply very small welfare losses for agents. Finally, we emphasize that the coherence of life-cycle models imposes an important discipline when incorporating new features into models.

Abstract:

Searching for the optimal saving strategy is often tied with the life-cycle strategies where only the age of a saver is considered for setting the allocation profile between equities and bonds. Our article contributes to the debate by looking at the performance and adequacy risks arising from applying age-based saving strategies for savers in funded pension schemes. As many studies have proven the shift of the risk onto savers in defined contribution pension schemes under various saving strategies, we contribute to the debate by providing simulations of expected accumulated savings via funded

The main controversy in the area of lipid management today is related to the usefulness of �non-statin� agents to maximize cardiovascular risk reduction in particular patient types, such as those with diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Abstract:

Saving and investment behaviour is crucial for all individuals to guarantee their welfare during work-life and retirement. We introduce a deep reinforcement learning model in which agents learn optimal portfolio allocation and saving strategies suitable for their heterogeneous profiles. The environment is calibrated with occupation- and age-dependent income dynamics. The research focuses on heterogeneous income trajectories dependent on agents’ profiles and incorporates the parameterisation of agents’ behaviours. The model provides a new flexible methodology to estimate lifetime consumption an

Abstract:

This paper explores how retirement timing, together with life-cycle saving and human capital investment in children, responds to rising longevity in a recursive model with altruistic agents. We find that rising longevity raises the retirement age. If initial life expectancy is not too high, rising longevity also raises human capital investment in children and the saving rate. Through these channels, rising longevity can be conducive to long-run economic growth. A binding mandatory retirement age reduces human capital investment and the growth rate, raises the saving rate, and reduces welfare.

Abstract:

Medications that affect the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) form the mainstay of current heart failure (HF) therapy in patients with reduced ejection fraction. Concerns about the risk of hyperkalaemia have created a significant barrier to optimal RAAS inhibitor therapy in patients with HF, however, and many patients are discontinuing or receiving suboptimal doses of these lifesaving therapies. This has serious health and economic implications due to adverse renal and cardiovascular events. There is therefore an important unmet need for novel therapeutic options for the long-term ma

Raising the normal retirement age by two years increases labor supply by 2.8 percent and the capital stock by 12.6 percent, showing that both margins of adjustment are critical.

Abstract:

Background: A rare but serious complication of heart valve replacement, prosthetic valve thrombosis carries significant risks of morbidity and mortality. Effective management depends on prompt diagnosis and the appropriate treatment, often involving fibrinolytic agents. Protocols using slower infusion rates and lower doses of these agents have led to improved therapy outcomes.Clinical case: We report a case of a 56-year-old man admitted to the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kaunas Clinics due to mechanical mitral valve prosthesis thrombosis complicated by a respiratory failure and at

With increased development of unmanned aerial vehicle technology and its application during humanitarian response to emergencies, the issue of smart navigation as a better alternative to manual operators is becoming increasingly significant. In response to a SmartAmerica initiative to design life-saving cyber-physical systems, a prototype Smart Emergency Response System (SERS) was developed in 2013–2014 to coordinate futuristic disaster response by cyber agents including ground and aerial telerobots and biobots. A more immediate application of the SERS system is simulation of quadcopter respon

Although the transformation of the energy model is a global problem, cities take on a leading role in the process as they are important consumers of energy resources. For years, local authorities have been implementing various energy saving initiatives. The transport and equipment renovation sectors, as well as the residential renovation sector, are the focus of the objectives of local strategies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In this article we analyse the role of local government in the energy transition, its relationship with other public–private territorial agents, and the invol

SummaryTwo oral antiplatelet agents have been recently introduced for acute coronary syndromes indication providing alternatives for dual therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel.

Despite declared benefits over clopidogrel, including hypothetical cost saving advantages, in real life, the clinical utilisation of both agents is small. Generic clopidogrel, and price differences are claimed as major obstacles to prevent broader prasugrel and ticagrelor use. However, these economic difficulties are ba

Haemorrhage control during surgery and following traumatic injury remains a critical, life-saving challenge. Cellulose products are already employed in commercially available haemostatic dressings. This work explores sourcing cellulose from sugarcane trash pulp to produce micro- and nanosized fibres with hydroxyl, carboxylic acid, and trimethylamine functional groups, resulting in either positive or negative surface charges. This paper assesses the influence of these fibres on multiple blood clotting parameters in both dispersed solutions and dry gauze applications. In vitro blood clotting stu

Abstract:

Mandibular arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare lesions which can present with life-threatening haemorrhage. Endovascular embolisation can be life saving for these patients. We discuss a patient of mandibular AVM, who initially presented with reports of massive oral bleeding. The lesion was only partially embolised via transarterial route, as the nidus could not be penetrated completely. In view of rebleeding within 72 hours from the same site, a second embolisation procedure was done via combined, transarterial and transvenous approaches. Coils and onyx were used as embolising agents.

For cancers of reproductive system in women, fertility preservation is complex. Fertility is also affected by therapies, however prevention is possible. Radiotherapy affects gonads, uterus, and subsequent pregnancy outcomes in all ages. However, degree and damage depend on dose, irradiation field, and age at the time of exposure. Ovarian transposition is considered if ovarian involvement is unlikely. Gonadotoxic effects of chemotherapy are related to agent's type, cumulative doses, age, and ovarian reserve.

Abstract:

Cerebral vein thrombosis has been well recognized for nearly two centuries. However, therapeutic options for the condition are limited due to lack of large randomized trials. The various modalities reportedly used include antiplatelets, anticoagulation, fibrinolysis, and mechanical thrombectomy. Of these, antiplatelets are the least studied, and there are only anecdotal reports of aspirin use. Anticoagulation is the most widely used and accepted modality with favorable outcomes documented in two randomized controlled trials. Various fibrinolytic agents have also been tried.
