Sire selection and genetic improvement of dairy cattle assuming pure market competition.

Breeding companies and farmers rely on selection indices to identify sires they expect to improve production system profitability. Such indices combine estimates of genetic merit for individual traits with corresponding economic values that are fixed based on circumstances at a particular time. Perfect market competition has also been proposed as an economic basis to value alternative sires.

Protection Against Nephropathy in Diabetes with Atorvastatin (PANDA): a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial of high- vs. low-dose atorvastatin(1).

Aims: To compare the renal effects of low- vs. high-dose atorvastatin in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and optimally managed early renal disease.

Methods: We compared the 2-year progression of nephropathy in a double-blind randomized controlled trial of atorvastatin 80 mg/day (n = 60) vs.
