The Benefits of Psychological Surgery: John Scoffern's Satire on Isaac Baker Brown
In her study of mutilating surgical operations on women, Ann Dally drew attention to a pamphlet, The London Surgical Home, by John Scoffern, concerning the activities of the London obstetrician, Dr Isaac Baker Brown. As is now well known, Brown was the leader of a short-lived vogue for treating nervous diseases in women (especially epilepsy, catalepsy and hysteria), thought to be caused by ‘‘pe...
متن کاملMR imaging features of acquired Brown syndrome.
Brown syndrome describes the inability of a patient to perform an upward gaze while the eye is adducted due to an abnormality of the superior oblique tendon sheath complex. Use of CT in diagnosing the condition has been reported; however, the use of MR imaging has not. We describe a unique case of Brown syndrome in which the initial CT findings were normal, but MR imaging revealed the abnormali...
متن کاملA tight Analysis of Brown-Baker-Katseff Sequences for Online Strip Packing
We study certain adversary sequences for online strip packing which were first designed and investigated by Brown, Baker and Katseff (Acta Inform. 18:207– 225) and determine the optimal competitive ratio for packing such Brown-BakerKatseff sequences online. As a byproduct of our result, we get a new lower bound of ρ ≥ 3/2 +√33/6 ≈ 2.457 for the competitive ratio of online strip packing.
متن کاملAB - compacta Isaac
We define a compactum X to be AB-compact if the cofinality of the character χ(x, Y ) is countable whenever x ∈ Y and Y ⊂ X. It is a natural open question if every AB-compactum is necessarily first countable. We strengthen several results from [Arhangel’skii and Buzyakova, Convergence in compacta and linear Lindelöfness, Comment. Math. Univ. Carolin. 39 (1998), no. 1, 159–166] by proving the fol...
متن کاملSuperior oblique tendon sheath syndrome (Brown syndrome): MR findings.
Multiplanar capability and improved tissue characterization have made MR an important technique for study of the orbit . We report a case of a patient with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and vertical diplopia in whom Brown syndrome was diagnosed clinically [1] . MR clearly showed the fibrotic nature of the affected superior oblique tendon caused by chronic inflammation. To our knowledge, this is...
