We review the Consistent Amplitude approach to Quantum Theory and argue that quantum probabilities are explicitly Bayesian. In this approach amplitudes are tools for inference. They codify objective information about how complicated experimental setups are put together from simpler ones. Thus, probabilities may be partially subjective but the amplitudes are not.

BACKGROUND Obstructive lung disease (OLD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the US adult population. Potentially treatable mild cases of OLD often go undetected. This analysis determines the national estimates of reported OLD and low lung function in the US adult population. METHODS We examined data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III)...

The article shows that an effective indicator of the level pollution air, water and soil with toxic compounds anthropogenic origin is a health population in different age groups. As eco-indicators, it proposed to use diseases respiratory system for people under 18 years old, circulatory digestive systems - 18-56 musculoskeletal over 56 old. To carry out ecological diagnostics negative changes n...

We exploit regional variation in suitability for cultivating potatoes, together with time variation arising from their introduction to the Old World from the Americas, to estimate the impact of potatoes on Old World population and urbanization. Our results show that the introduction of the potato was responsible for a significant portion of the increase in population and urbanization observed d...

As the population of the United States undergoes significant qualitative and quantitative changes the healthcare needs of the population changes accordingly. Since the “old-old” ≥85 years sector of the population is growing fast we embarked on studying how spine surgery profile changes across age groups. Methods: A database of 6147 spine surgery patients operated in a tertiary care center in Mi...

BACKGROUND The WHOQOL-OLD is an instrument for the assessment of subjective quality of life in elderly people. It is based on the WHO definition of quality of life and is available in more than 20 languages. However, in most countries, the psychometric properties of the WHOQOL-OLD have been assessed only on the basis of small local samples and not in representative studies. In this study, the p...
