nurse wage rates for 252 labor markets are constructed. Contrary to predictions from the monopsony
model, no positive relationship exists between relative nursing wages and hospital density or market size.
Nor is support found for the presence of monopsony power based on evidence on union wage premiums,
slopes of experience profiles, or the mix of RN to total hospital employment.]]> http://pdfcast.org/pdf/monopsony-power-and-relative-wages-in-the-labor-market-for-nurses Mon, 08 Mar 2010 06:17:19 -0500 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/monopsony-power-and-relative-wages-in-the-labor-market-for-nurses Health & Fitness tourniquet deflation during epidural anaesthesia in patients received oral clonidine premedication. 40 otherwise healthy patients undergoing
lower extremity orthopaedic surgery were randomly assigned into two groups: those receiving approximately 5 mgkg-1 of oral clonidine
1 hour before anaesthesia (clonidine group; n = 20) and those receiving no premedication (control group; n = 20). After epidural
anaesthesia, a tourniquet was applied for approximately 60 minutes to each patient. Electrocardiogram, arterial blood pressure and
consumption of butorphanol for tourniquet pain were monitored. In clonidine group mean arterial blood pressure decreased from
87±7 mmHg at baseline to 65±10 mmHg after tourniquet deflation (P<0.05). The peak reduction of mean arterial blood pressure
in the clonidine group was significantly lower than in the control group. We conclude that oral clonidine premedication exacerbated
the reduction in mean arterial blood pressure following tourniquet deflation, probably by inhibiting noradrenaline release.

One such list has been developed for Australia (Australia Commonwealth
Department of Health, Housing and Community Services). Its use serves to reduce the variability in
study results which are due to differences in unit prices and costs used by investigators. We have
attempted to fill that gap with the development of the present list, which is based on 1992/3 fiscal year
data.
The present list is quite comprehensive, and covers community as well as institutional services. It
attempts to estimate "full costs". including overhead. Although the standard method is currently to include
all costs, including overhead (Drummond, Stoddart and Torrance, 1987), this issue is somewhat
controversial. If some costs are truly fixed, the inclusion of these costs may reflect more an allocation
decision than a real movement of resources.]]> http://pdfcast.org/pdf/an-alberta-standard-cost-list-for-health-economics-evaluations Mon, 01 Mar 2010 22:53:27 -0500 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/an-alberta-standard-cost-list-for-health-economics-evaluations Health & Fitness http://pdfcast.org/pdf/direct-costs-of-osteoporosis-and-hip-fracture-an-analysis-for-the-mexican-social-insurance-health-care-system Wed, 24 Feb 2010 07:22:03 -0500 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/direct-costs-of-osteoporosis-and-hip-fracture-an-analysis-for-the-mexican-social-insurance-health-care-system Health & Fitness http://pdfcast.org/pdf/direct-cost-of-care-for-patients-with-schizophrenia-treated-with-haloperidol-in-an-emergency-unit Wed, 24 Feb 2010 07:18:48 -0500 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/direct-cost-of-care-for-patients-with-schizophrenia-treated-with-haloperidol-in-an-emergency-unit Health & Fitness http://pdfcast.org/pdf/direct-costs-of-opioid-abuse-in-an-insured-population-in-the-united-states Wed, 24 Feb 2010 07:11:47 -0500 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/direct-costs-of-opioid-abuse-in-an-insured-population-in-the-united-states Health & Fitness http://pdfcast.org/pdf/methods-for-the-costing-component-of-the-multi-country-evaluation-of-imci Tue, 23 Feb 2010 21:34:01 -0500 http://pdfcast.org/pdf/methods-for-the-costing-component-of-the-multi-country-evaluation-of-imci Health & Fitness substances and physical agents, e.g. asbestos, lead, silica dust, organic
solvents, sewer gases, welding fumes, radiation, noise and vibration.
Excessive exposures to these substances/agents may result in acute
injury, chronic illness, permanent disability or even death. Loss of
concentration at work and fatigue arising from poor health conditions
may increase the risk of accidents.
Construction work is featured by high labour turnover, constantly
changing work environment and conditions on site, and different types
of work being carried out simultaneously by several contractors.
These features would further increase the health risks of workers.
