Roy equation analysis of ππ scattering May 30 , 2000

We analyze the Roy equations for the lowest partial waves of elastic ππ scattering. In the first part of the paper, we review the mathematical properties of these equations as well as their phenomenological applications. In particular, the experimental situation concerning the contributions from intermediate energies and the evaluation of the driving terms are discussed in detail. We then demon...

Prevention Patient Outcomes Research Team (PORT) indicates that racial differences exist in treatment of patients at risk for stroke. Black patients hospitalized with transient ischemic attacks (TIAs, also called mini strokes) are significantly less likely than comparable white patients to receive diagnostic testing and surgery to prevent stroke and to have a neurologist as their attending phys...

QuickScan Reviews in Urology, May 30 2009

Objective: To assess the effect of annual prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and digital rectal examination (DRE) screening in American men aged 55 to 74 years on prostate cancer mortality. Methods: Randomized, controlled trial comparing annual PSA screening for 6 years and annual DRE for 4 years to "usual care" at 10 U.S. centers. PSA >4.0 ng/mL prompted referral for diagnosis. Results: 76,693 me...
