"Elevator Music": More Than It Seems

"The musically aware hostess no longer allows the butler, or her husband, to sling records on to the turntable in a haphazard way.

Stereotype Threat Spillover: Why Stereotype Threat Is More Useful for Organizations Than It Seems

Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy: More Complex than it Appears

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) has been classified as an autosomal dominant myopathy, linked to rearrangements in an array of 3.3 kb tandemly repeated DNA elements (D4Z4) located at the 4q subtelomere (4q35). For the last 20 years, the diagnosis of FSHD has been confirmed in clinical practice by the detection of one D4Z4 allele with a reduced number (≤8) of repeats at 4q35. Altho...

Using Critiquing for Improving Medical Protocols: Harder than It Seems

Medical protocols are widely recognised to provide clinicians with high-quality and up-to-date recommendations. A critical condition for this is of course that the protocols themselves are of high quality. In this paper we investigate the use of critiquing for improving the quality of medical protocols. We constructed a detailed formal model of the jaundice protocol of the American Association ...
