that candidates should be increasingly likely to announce below their true quality as their political skill increases. The most skilled candidates are the most likely to under-report quality. This result suggests implications for how potential supporters, or more broadly, employers might structure the candidate

Many older adults have multiple chronic conditionsthat often require several drugs to prevent or treat symptoms and to maintain functional status (1). Subopti-mal prescribing makes these patient-centered goals difficult to achieve. Although some believe that under- or overpre-scribing is the most common type of suboptimal prescrib-ing, occurring in up to 50 % of older adults, evidence sug-gests that up to 92 % of older adults receive 1 or more inappropriate medications (2, 3). Of concern is that inap-propriate prescribing increases the risk for negative health outcomes, such as adverse drug reactions and increased use of health services (1, 3). In 2006, the National Committee for Quality Assur-ance (NCQA) released quality indicators based on a subset of updated explicit criteria for inappropriate prescribing commonly referred to as the Beers criteria (4). Two types of criteria were implemented as quality indicators: 42 High-Risk Medications in the Elderly (Drugs to Avoid in the Elderly), also commonly referred to as “drugs to

For the study region we derive emissions of 144–216 Mg/yr for July 2008–July 2010, which are 60–140 % higher than the official

The prevalence of mis-reporting of gravidity was 7.9%. Factors influencing the risk of under-reporting gravidity were: previous experience of a still

Vascular torsion in a renal allograft after placement in the retroperitoneum is rare and has only been reported twice in the literature. It is an extrinsically mediated process that occurs at the vascular pedicle resulting in graft compromise and potential loss. Rapid diagnosis and immediate

Growing fox populations in Europe, especially in urban zones, have drawn attention to a potential increased risk for humans (7–9). In 2001, AE reporting became mandatory in Germany (10).

Objective: With the use of an objective measure of EI from doubly labeled water (DLW) this report examined multiple potential underreporting correlates. Methods: Adolescents from 2 studies (study 1, n = 91; mean age: 18.4 6 0.58 y; 100 % female

Sixty-seven (32.8 percent) reported experiencing 109 occupational exposures (OEs) to blood or other potentially
