Demystifying Spasticity: Reply to Dietz.

REPLY: I was glad to read Dr. Volker Dietz’s recent letter to the editor (Dietz 2007) comparing his work on spasticity in humans to my studies of spasticity in the sacral spinal rat (Bennett et al. 2004). His comments highlight many of the confusions that have shrouded the study of spasticity and give me a chance to clear the air on this topic. The first confusion relates to the complexity of s...

The Heinz fellowships 1960-80.

This paper celebrates a 25th birthday, a record of learning and teaching across the Commonwealth. It began in 1959, when Philip Evans (secretary, British Paediatric Association 1954-59) and Reginald Lightwood (Head of University Department of Paediatrics, St Mary's Medical School, London), convinced that paediatric teaching exchanges would improve child health within the Commonwealth, sought th...

Extensions of Heinz - Kato - Furuta

Reprints available directly from the publisher Photocopying permitted by license only (C) 1999 OPA (Overseas Publishers Association) N.V. In our preceding note, we discussed a generalized Schwarz inequality, an improvement of the Heinz-Kato-Furuta inequality and an inequality related to the Furuta inequality. In succession, we give further discussions on them from the viewpoint of the covarianc...

Foliations and Chern-Heinz inequalities

We extend the Chern-Heinz inequalities about mean curvature and scalar curvature of graphs of C2-functions to leaves of transversally oriented codimension one C2-foliations of Riemannian manifolds. That extends partially Salavessa’s work on mean curvature of graphs and generalize results of Barbosa-Kenmotsu-Oshikiri [3] and Barbosa-GomesSilveira [2] about foliations of 3-dimensional Riemannian ...
