Why are cel ls so tense? C ells might be able to rapidly adjust their stiffness by contracting myosin motors, according to a new cytoskeleton model from Daisuke Mizuno, Christoph Schmidt (Georg-August-Universität, Göttingen, Germany), and colleagues. Cells adjust their rigidity when they interact with the extracellular matrix, for example, and when an external force acts on them. To mimic cytos...

Privilege and confidentiality are central to the physician–patient relationship. These concepts are protected by law in almost all jurisdictions (1,2). Breaches of confidentiality have long been considered unethical and, in many situations, actionable. In this regard, physicians have been governed by their standards of practice, by the regulations of their professional colleges, and in many jur...

Access control administration is a huge task. Administration tools should assist the administrator in ensuring that the access control requirements are met. One example of an access control requirement is Separation of Duty (SoD). SoD requirements specify that no single person may have sufficient authority to complete a business process unilaterally. The SoDA prototype administration tool has b...

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur repeatedly in Special Operations Forces (SOF). In this study, we sought to determine whether military patients requiring a second (i.e., revision) ACL reconstruction in the same knee had a lower rate of return to full duty and greater chance of medical discharge versus those undergoing first-time (i.e., primary) ACL knee surgery. A single- institu...

METHODS This study involved analyzing 366 medical litigation case reports from 1990 through 2008 where the duty to explain was disputed. We examined relati...

In this paper we present a Gentzen system for reasoning with contraryto-duty obligations. The intuition behind the system is that a contraryto-duty is a special kind of normative exception. The logical machinery to formalize this idea is taken from substructural logics and it is based on the definition of a new non-classical connective capturing the notion of reparational obligation. Then the s...
