Current findings from research on structured abstracts: an update

Structured abstracts.

Structured abstracts are those that describe a study using specified content headings. In structured abstracts essential information is concisely reported using content headings (e.g. hypothesis or objective, study design, setting, participants, intervention, results, conclusions). The use of specified content headings rather than the paragraph format was suggested by the Ad Hoc Working Group f...

Abstracts from the Current Literature

Rafferty S. Considerations for integrating fitness into dance training. J Dance Med Sci. 2010;14(2):45-9. In recent years it has frequently been suggested that dancers may not be sufficiently prepared for the demands of dance, and that the typical dance technique class by itself is not challenging enough to produce fit dancers. While a technique class can focus on muscular endurance, flexibilit...

Current Pharmacologic Approaches in Painful Bladder Research: An Update

The symptoms of interstitial cystitis (IC)/bladder pain syndrome (BPS) may have multiple causes and involve many contributing factors. Traditional treatments (intravesical instillations) have had a primary focus on the bladder as origin of symptoms without adequately considering the potential influence of other local (pelvic) or systemic factors. Systemic pharmacological treatments have had mod...

Design Diversity: an Update from Research on Reliability Modelling

Diversity between redundant subsystems is, in various forms, a common design approach for improving system dependability. Its value in the case of software-based systems is still controversial. This paper gives an overview of reliability modelling work we carried out in recent projects on design diversity, presented in the context of previous knowledge and practice. These results provide additi...
