Cardiac report cards: how can they be made better?
When hospitaland surgeon-specific coronary artery bypass graft surgery death rates were first publicly released in 1991 in New York State, many clinicians reacted with anger and outright hostility.1 Over time, as more jurisdictions adopted the concept of public reporting of outcomes in the form of report cards, the view has shifted to gradual recognition and acceptance that cardiac report cards...
متن کاملCan more efficient use be made of x ray examinations in the accident and emergency department?

While casualty officers were in post referrals for x ray examination did not become more selective, but skills in interpreting films improved. Overall, 4.9% of trauma radiographs were misinterpreted, but this fell from 7.1% to 2.9% during ten...
متن کاملPlant Breeding: Surprisingly, Less Sex Is Better
Introduction of apomixis, asexual reproduction through seeds, into crop species has the potential to dramatically transform plant breeding. A new study demonstrates that traits can be stably transferred between generations in newly produced apomictic lines, and heralds a breeding revolution needed to increase food production for the growing planet.
متن کاملPartial-order verification in SPIN can be more efficient
Partial-order reduction methods form a collection of state exploration techniques set to relieve the stateexplosion problem in concurrent program verification. One such method is implemented in the verification tool SPIN. Its use often reduces significantly the memory and time needed for verifying local and termination properties of concurrent programs and, moreover, for verifying that concurre...
