Can We Count on Global Health Estimates?

This week PLoS Medicine publishes a cluster of articles discussing the current state of global health estimates and debating the way into the future [1–5]. Estimates of global health indicators— which give insight into death and disease rates, document advances in health and development, and help policymakers monitor progress—are a necessary evil. They are absolutely essential to improving glob...

A 17 year experience of inappropriate shock therapy in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators: are we getting any better?

I mplantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are standard treatment for both secondary and primary prevention in patients with malignant ventricular arrhythmias. 2 Inappropriate shock therapy (IST) occurs in a significant proportion of ICD patients, despite newer generation devices and algorithms specifically employed to try and eliminate this. The frequency of IST in patients implanted with...

The Number Domain— Can We Count on Parietal Cortex?

Does the primate brain contain a dedicated and localized neural circuitry for processing generic numerical information? The human parietal cortex, particularly the intraparietal sulcus (IPS), has long been implicated in processing symbolic (verbal) number information. If the IPS is indeed the site of generic numerical processing, however, its neurons should also encode nonsymbolic numerosity in...
