2015; 114: 7–8. The ATLANTIC study demonstrated that administration of the potent P2Y12 antagonist ticagrelor shortly before primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of STEMI did not improve reperfusion of the culprit artery before the procedure (primary objective) but was safe (1). The prespecified secondary endpoint of post-procedural definite stent thrombosis was reduced significantl...

The recently published Administration of Ticagrelor in the Cath Lab or in the Ambulance for New ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction to Open the Coronary Artery (ATLANTIC) trial concluded that prehospital administration of ticagrelor in patients with acute STEMI appeared to be safe but did not improve pre-PCI coronary reperfusion. The ATLANTIC data fully support the PLATO Angiographic Substudy de...

The sonic aspects of Plato’s analogy of the cave is taken as a starting point for thought experiments to investigate the objective nature of sound, and the idea of quasiPlatonic forms in music. Sounds are found to be objects in a way that sights or appearances are not, and it is only in the presence of technology that they become artificial. When recognition, control and communication about sou...

Abstract In Metaphysics A 6, Aristotle claims that Plato only recognises formal and material causes. Yet, in various dialogues, seems to use distinguish efficient final causes too. Consequently, Harold Cherniss accuses of being an unfair, forgetful, or careless reader Plato. Since then, scholars have tried defend Aristotle’s exegetical skills. I offer textual evidence arguments show their effor...

In each of Plato's major cosmological works, the Timaeus , the Statesman myth and the Philebus , he asserts that the body of the whole universe is alive and possesses a single WorldSoul which extends throughout it. I wish to offer a new interpretation of the role of the World-Soul which gives the World-Soul a special function in the economy of the Platonic cosmology and which explains why Plato...

Tasks performed on machine translation (MT) output are associated with input text types such as genre and topic. Predictive Linguistic Assessments of Translation Output, or PLATO, MT Evaluation (MTE) explores a predictive relationship between linguistic metrics and the information processing tasks reliably performable on output. PLATO assigns a linguistic signature, which cuts across the task-b...

Friedrich Solmsen’s path-breaking study of Hesiod’s influence on Plato focused on ‘motifs’ common to the two authors. Concerned to bring out the ‘threads of continuity’ in their ethical thought, Solmsen explicitly set aside the evidence of quotation, explaining that ‘[b]y and large, Plato is moving on a level of thought on which direct contact with the Hesiodic legacy could serve little purpose...
