ELLIOTT III , JAMES JOHN . Resilient Iterative Linear Solvers Running Through Errors

ELLIOTT III, JAMES JOHN. Resilient Iterative Linear Solvers Running Through Errors. (Under the direction of Frank Mueller.) Future extreme-scale computer systems may expose incorrect behavior to applications, in order to save energy or increase performance. However, resilience research struggles to come up with useful abstract programming models for reasoning about faults in applications. This ...

John H. Packard's primary ether anesthesia.

ETHER has long been known to cause a short period of analgesia before inducing unconsciousness and surgical anesthesia. In 1794, Thomas Beddoes had already provided relief with a short inhalation of ether for a young woman suffering from a painful mastitis John Snow also alluded to that initial analgesic stage in his 1847 book on ether.

Background. Postpartum thyroiditis (PPT), characterized by transient hyperthyroidism and transient hypothyroidism, occurs in 5–9% of women. It is accompanied by the presence of circulating antithyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) which have been associated with an increase in depressive symptomatology compared with TPOAbnegative women.

John H. Laragh, MD: Clinician-Scientist

John Laragh is an outstanding clinician-scientist who discovered that renin, a mostly forgotten kidney hormone, causes essential hypertension1,2 and its complications.3 This discovery led to two new classes of drugs, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, which revolutionized the treatment of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and kidney disease...
