4. Testing the consumption-based CAPM using the stochastic discount factor
Abstract This article investigates the problem of optimal intertemporal consumption in the CCAPM setup from a new empirical perspective. The econometric analysis is based on use of the equality between the stochastic discount factor (SDF) and the marginal rate of intertemporal substitution of consumption, which in the CCAPM is equivalent to the Euler equatio

8. Does mismatch negativity have utility for NMDA receptor drug development in depression?
Rapid antidepressant effects associated with ketamine have shifted the landscape for the development of therapeutics to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) from a monoaminergic to glutamatergic model. Treatment with ketamine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, may be effective, but has many non-glutamatergic targets, and clinical and logis

9. Effectiveness of galvanic vestibular evoked myogenic potential for evaluation of Meniere’s disease
Abstract Objectives: Although the cause of Meniere’s disease (MD) is not fully understood, endolymphatic hydrops is widely believed to be responsible for MD. Previous studies have used Air-Conducted Sound (ACS)-induced Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMPs) to evaluate otolithic function in patients with MD. However, the use of Galvanic Vestibular

10. Stress fractures
ABSTRACT Stress fractures (SF) represent 10%-20% of all injuries in sport medicine. An SF occurs when abnormal and repetitive loading is applied on normal bone: The body cannot adapt quickly enough, leading to microdamage and fracture. The etiology is multifactorial with numerous risk factors involved. Diagnosis of SF can be achieved by identifying intrinsic
