There is scant published data critically evaluating the quality of the medical record generated by Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs) in the documentation of the evaluation and treatment survivors of sexual assault receive while in the Emergency Department. For all adult sexual assault survivors undergoing evidentiary examination, this State mandates a standard recording tool be used for me...

Adolescents are at high risk for sexual assault, but few of these crimes are reported to the police and prosecuted by the criminal justice system. To address this problem, communities throughout the United States have implemented multidisciplinary interventions to improve post-assault care for victims and increase prosecution rates. The two most commonly implemented interventions are Sexual Ass...

The SANE Virtual Processor is an abstract concurrent programming model that is both deadlock free and supports e cient implementation. It is captured by the μTC programming language. The work presented in this paper covers a portable implementation of this model as a C++ library on top of POSIX Threads. Programs in μTC can be translated to the standard C++ syntax and linked with this library to...

Transactional memory’s (TM) biggest promise is that of making it easier to devise scalable multi-core programs. Arguably the biggest simplification of reasoning about parallel code with TM comes from atomicity : transactions either take effect instantaneously, or not at all. TM frees the programmer from reasoning how this atomicity is achieved and asks only where it should be employed. Commerci...

Abstract: Sub-project 2 has as its major objective the definition of an abstract model that supports the project’s goals of self-adaptation at all levels within a system, from the hardware to the application layer. Moreover it must provide a firm definition of a realisation of that model that will eventually enable the development of various prototype tools to support the model at each of these...

Treatment of patients with rotator cuff deficiency and arthritis in the setting of a prior glenohumeral infection (postinfectious arthropathy) is complex, with little evidence to guide treatment. The current authors present their approach to management of these patients and clinical outcomes after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). All primary RSAs performed for postinfectious arthropathy and...

The shadow of Kraepelin stands over psychosis nosology like a colossus. The reason is that Kraepelin made an attempt to systematize diagnosis in a rational, pathophysiological manner. But, to this day, no one has done better. The tragedy is that one can say of Kraepelin that the measure of his stature is the extent to which his infl uence has delayed progress since his death. With such a judgme...
