should begin at birth. The best results are obtained when children are treated in a special clinic with orthopaedic surgeon, nursing staff, and physiotherapists to supervise the patients' care. Stretching and strapping with early elongation of the tendocalcaneus when necessary has proved to be the most successful method of treatment. In our clinic 206 children have been seen with clubfoot and 327 feet with severe or moderately severe deformity have been treated with stretching and strapping from birth. Of these, 136 feet needed tendocalcaneus lengthening at 3 months. Two subsequently had a medial release operation, two tibialis anterior transfer, and two had calcaneocuboid arthrodesis. The results are sufficiently encouraging for us to reassure parents who have children born with this condition that a successful outcome without further surgical intervention is highly probable. If recourse to further operative treatment is necessary the results become progressively less satisfactory as the skeleton of the foot becomes more mature. References

Where did the doctors go? A study of retention and migration of provisionally licensed international medical graduates practising in Newfoundland and Labrador between 1995 and 2006.
INTRODUCTION More than any other Canadian province, Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) relies on provisionally licensed international medical graduates (PLIMGs) to provide primary health care, particularly in rural communities. However, turnover among PLIMGs is high, and this is expensive and disruptive to the populations they serve. METHODS We developed and analyzed a database that allowed us to...
متن کاملA contribution to approximate analytical evaluation of Fourier series via an Applied Analysis standpoint; an application in turbulence spectrum of eddies
In the present paper, we shall attempt to make a contribution to approximate analytical evaluation of the harmonic decomposition of an arbitrary continuous function. The basic assumption is that the class of functions that we investigate here, except the verification of Dirichlet's principles, is concurrently able to be expanded in Taylor's representation, over a particular interval of their do...

The Automorphism Group of a Lie Group
Introduction. The group A (G) of all continuous and open automorphisms of a locally compact topological group G may be regarded as a topological group, the topology being defined in the usual fashion from the compact and the open subsets of G (see §1). In general, this topological structure of A(G) is somewhat pathological. For instance, if G is the discretely topologized additive group of an i...
