But Harvard orthopedic surgeon George Theodore, who helped conduct the Dornier study, claims that the failed studies are flawed because they used low-energy shock-wave pulses that were below the threshold needed to have a heel-healing effect, unlike the successful FDA studies that used higher energies.
The news, which was seen as a sign of how devastating the credit crisis has been, even for those with assets once considered relatively low-risk, sent shock waves across the European market.
It meets the highest standards of resistance to dust, sand, shock, vibrations, low pressure, high and low temperature, rain and long-term moisture.
If low inflation persists alongside very low unemployment, the new-economy shock can be declared the winner.
Proponents also point to a recent study published in JAMA, which found that high-energy shock waves were better than low-energy waves in treating patients with shoulder tendinitis resulting from calcium deposits.
Thanks to their generally low production costs and freakishly devoted audiences, many of these shock fests are goldmines, especially for smaller studios looking to build a rep.
Paul Dales, an economist at the forecasting firm Capital Economics, said the job market appeared to have stabilized at a low level of growth, suggesting it would take a further shock to push the economy back into recession.
During this shock, both countries strengthened their regimes and were able to achieve low levels of inflation, similar to levels in industrial countries.
The G-Shock GB6900 Bluetooth watch and the ThinkPad Tablet 2 with Windows 8 both represent relatively low-risk plays for the venerable brands.
Other highlights include proven sixth-generation HDD technology, 1TB capacity, the industry's highest shock tolerance, a halogen-free design for an eco-friendly footprint, and low power consumption for sturdy unplugged notebook performance.

In a correction, housing prices are likely to revert to the mean, economists say, potentially a big shock to home owners and investors who have grown accustomed to double-digit increases in property values and low interest rates that have allowed them to refinance and unlock more of the equity in their homes.
