Suicides in psychiatric in-patients: what are we doing wrong?

Given the uncontested role of psychiatric illnesses in both fatal and non-fatal suicidal behaviours, efforts are continuously made in improving mental health care provision. In cases of severe mental disorder, when intensified treatment protocols and continuous supervision are required due to individual's impaired emotional, cognitive and social functioning (including danger to self and others)...

Problems with both criticisms are discussed. A conception of testability is described that avoids the defects in Karl Popper's falsifiability criterion. Although ID comes in multiple forms, which call for different critic...

What is wrong with intelligent design?

While a great deal of abuse has been directed at intelligent design theory (ID), its starting point is a fact about biological organisms that cries out for explanation, namely “specified complexity” (SC). Advocates of ID deploy three kind of argument from specified complexity to the existence of a designer: an eliminative argument, an inductive argument, and an inference to the best explanation...

Neonatal pressure support ventilation: are we doing what we think we are doing?

Assisted modes of mechanical ventilation, including synchronous intermittent mandatory ventilation, pressure support ventilation (PSV), continuous mandatory ventilation, neurally adjusted ventilatory assist, and volume guarantee ventilation, are widely used in neonates, infants, and small children to achieve improved short-term and long-term outcomes.1-3 Specifically, evidence is accumulating t...
