Bv Surgeon J. C. G-. Carmichakl, M.B., Superintendent. On the 15th April last a Bheel, named Khaloo, about 35 years of age, presented himself at tho dispensary for the treatment of a slight wound on the inner side of his left arm. He stated that ho was a laborer employed on the new road that is being made to Oodeypoor. It was known amongst his fellow workmen that he always carried about with hi...

BACKGROUND Increasing attention to patients' rights and their ability to choose their healthcare provider have changed the way patients can respond to untoward, disempowering and abusive healthcare encounters. These responses are often seen as crucial for quality improvement, yet they are little explored and conceptualized. OBJECTIVE To explore patients' potential responses to untoward health...

BACKGROUND Previous attempts at improving operating room utilization have generally emphasized more accurate scheduling, starting the first case on time, and reducing turnover time. Surgical case cancellations have largely been ignored except for recommendations for preoperative screening and good physician-patient communication to improve patient compliance. METHODS A retrospective review of...

We review some modern applications of the theory of fewbody encounters between binaries and single stars. In particular we focus on the treatment of adiabatic encounters, in a regime which is of importance in encounters between a star and a planetary system in a star cluster.

for e-Book ONLY!) Researchers usually work and evolve in the scientific frameworks in which they were trained, without questioning their epistemological foundations. However, this may be required when researchers coming from different disciplines and paradigms try to work together on the same object of study. This chapter reflects on epistemological encounters in a five-year project of multidis...

When the book review Editor of [this journal] asked me to write a review on this book [1], I gladly accepted not because I'm a quantum physicist but I've been in the trenches of scientific studies of consciousness over the past nine years as a biophysicist and outsider unencumbered by academic conformity and orthodoxy. So, perhaps I have something useful to add to the existing reviews on this e...

RATIONALE Poor glucose control is common in patients with type 2 diabetes. Little is known about the dynamics within the doctor-patient encounter that might explain this phenomenon. The purpose of this study was to compare dynamics of encounters with and without a hypoglycaemic medication change for patients with poorly controlled diabetes. METHODS The doctor-patient encounters of 182 patient...

BACKGROUND Previous research shows that how patients perceive encounters with healthcare staff may affect their health and self-estimated ability to return to work. The aim of the present study was to explore long-term sick-listed patients' encounters with social insurance office staff and the impact of these encounters on self-estimated ability to return to work. METHODS A random sample of l...

Spherically symmetric equal mass star clusters containing a large amount of primordial binaries are studied using a hybrid method, consisting of a gas dynamical model for single stars and a Monte Carlo treatment for relaxation of binaries and the setup of close resonant and fly-by encounters of single stars with binaries and binaries with each other (threeand four-body encounters). What differs...

OBJECTIVE To examine harassment and abusive encounters between family physicians and their patients or colleagues in the workplace. DESIGN Qualitative case study using semistructured interviews. SETTING Province of New Brunswick. PARTICIPANTS Forty-eight family physicians from across the province. METHODS A collective case-study approach was developed, with 24 cases of 2 individuals per...
