This is not a typical scientific paper. It does not present a new method, with careful experiments to evaluate it, and detailed references to related work. Rather, it recounts some of my experiences over the last 15 years, working with QuickCheck, and its purpose is as much to entertain as to inform. QuickCheck is a random testing tool that Koen Claessen and I invented, which has since become t...

The essential unity of all mental health services has been obscured by entanglement with the law. This entanglement was inevitable because certain mental states necessitate the patient's segregation, and all restrictions on liberty demand, and rightly demand, legal safeguards against their abuse. But, while it was inevitable that mental medicine should be entangled with the law, the results of ...

Campbell and colleagues developed an evaluation Toolkit for use by sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs) to assess criminal case outcomes in adult sexual assault cases seen by SANE programs (Campbell, Townsend, Shaw, Karim, & Markowitz, 2014; Campbell, Bybee, et al., 2014). The Toolkit provides step-by-step directions and an easy-to-use statistical program. This study describes implementation ...

BACKGROUND Epidural steroid injections (ESI) are the most common pain management procedure performed in the US, however evidence of efficacy is limited. In addition, there is early evidence that the high dose of corticosteroids used can have systemic side effects. We describe the results of a case series evaluating the use of platelet lysate (PL) epidural injections for the treatment of lumbar ...

to treat of the inheritance and transmission of mental deficiency with any degree of precision. Dr. Tredgold inveighs against the all-too-common belief that genius is so intimately connected with insanity that we must cheerfully put up with the latter for the sake of the former. He maintains that the great majority of men and women of outstanding ability have been particularly sane and have com...

Abstract: This report deals with the progresses done during the first year of the ÆTHER project concerning the hardware sub-project. The major objective for sub-project 1 that is addressed by this document is the proposal of a suitable hardware architecture based on “on the fly” reconfigurable hardware. For this purpose, we define self-adaptation from the hardware point of view in order to extr...

The best surgical treatment for an irreparable rotator cuff tear is controversial. In such cases, partial rotator cuff repair, primarily involving the posterior cuff in most reports, has been shown to be beneficial. The authors retrospectively investigated 41 patients who underwent arthroscopic subscapularis-only repair and greater tuberoplasty between April 2003 and August 2009 for massive 3-t...
