Overview: Risk Regulation in Europe.Includes supplementary material: .The publication aims to familiarize students of public policy with the precautionary principle, which plays a vital role in the European Union’s approach toward regulating risks. The precautionary principle contends that policy makers should refrain from actions having a suspected risk of causing harm to the public and/or the environment. However, the precautionary principle only provides guidance to policy makers but does not prescribe specific policy responses. Therefore, there should be variation in the way the principle

Overview: Die "Klosterneuburger Schlaganfall-Datenbank" zeigt die Bedeutung eines prospektiven Registers von Schlaganfallpatienten für Klinik und Forschung. In einer fallkontrollierten Studie wird das Risikoprofil des zerebralen Insults untersucht und das unterschiedlich hohe relative Risiko einzelner kardialer und vaskulärer Faktoren erhoben. Als wichtigstes klinisches Kriterium des Insults wird die Ätiologie angesehen. Dabei zeigt sich, daß bei routinemäßiger Anwendung von Computertomographie und Neurosonologie lediglich zwei von drei Schlaganfällen ätiologisch geklärt werden können. Von all
