We show that financial intermediation in a costly state verification model has a cost not yet analyzed: it allows for the existence of multiple equilibria, some of which are characterized by borrowers defaulting on their loans because they expect other borrowers to do the same (i.e. bad equilibria arise due to strategic complementarities in entrepreneurs’ actions). We propose two mechanisms that fully implement the desired equilibrium allocation.

Identification of women and clinical definition differs between countries. This study investigated differences in tPTL and effectiveness of vaginal progesterone to prevent preterm birth (PTB) between two countries. Secondary analysis of a RCT from Argentina and Switzerland comparing vaginal progesterone to placebo in women with tPTL (n=379). Cox proportional hazards analysis was performed to compare placebo groups of both countries and to compare progesterone to placebo within each country. We adjusted for baseline differences. Iatrogenic onset of labor or pregnancy beyond gestational age of interest was censored. Swiss and Argentinian women were different on baseline. Risks for delivery <14 days and PTB < 34 and < 37 weeks were increased in Argentina compared to Switzerland, HR 3.3 (95%CI 0.62 to 18), 54 (95%CI 5.1 to 569) and 3.1 (95%CI 1.1 to 8.4). In Switzerland, progesterone increased the risk for delivery...

The aim of this study was to determine the association among nutritional status, salivary flow rate and caries risk in preschoolers. The study comprised 60 children aged 3 to 6 years attending kindergartens in areas immediately adjacent to Buenos Aires City, Argentina. Body weight and height of the children were determined. Body mass index was calculated and the population was classified anthropometrically according to the WHO 2007 (WHO Anthro. Program). Caries risk was determined. Saliva was collected in sterile graduated widemouth containers, without stimulation and without food restrictions. Salivary flow rate (SFR) was determined. Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson's test. It was found that 56.7% (IC95%: 37.7-74.0) of anthropometrically adequate children (Ad) and 37.0% (IC95%: 20.1-57.5) of overweight and obese children (OW/Ob) had caries...

We investigate the relationship between PPI and SBP in decompensated cirrhotic patients in a large nationwide prospective study. Seven hundred seventy patients with a diagnosis of decompensated cirrhosis were admitted consecutively in 23 hospitals in Argentina from March 2011 to April 2012; the patients were carefully investigated for PPI consumption in the previous 3 months. In total, 251 patients were excluded because of active gastrointestinal hemorrhage, antibiotic use during the previous 2 weeks, HIV(+) status and 20 immunosuppressive therapy. Two hundred twenty-six out of 519 patients (43.5%) had received PPI therapy within the last 3 months. In 135 patients, PPIs were administered for longer than 2 weeks. A bacterial infection was shown in 255 patients (49.1%). SBP was diagnosed in 95 patients out of 394 patients with ascites (24.7%). There was no significant difference in the rate of PPI consumption between the infected and the non-infected patients (44.3% vs. 42.8%) or between the SBP patients and the patients with ascites without SBP (46% vs. 42%). In the SBP patients, the duration of PPI administration did not influence the rate of SBP occurrence. The type of bacteria and the origin of SBP infection were similar in the patients with and without PPI. In the current large, multicenter, prospective study, PPI therapy, specifically evaluated at admission of consecutive cirrhotic patients, was not associated with a higher risk of SBP.
