Structured frameworks are extremely useful in promoting transparent, harmonized approaches to the risk assessment of chemicals. One area where this has been particularly successful is in the analysis of modes of action (MOAs) for chemical carcinogens in experimental animals and their relevance to humans. The International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) recently published an updated version...

2014 The use of the Hall-Petch relation in texture simulations with the Taylor-Bishop-Hill model is proposed as a mean to take into account grain shape effect. The results are compared with those obtained with the usual and relaxed constraint Taylor model for a simple texture and the consequences for the anisotropy coefficient are investigated. J. Physique Lett. 46 (1985) L-1109 L-1113 1 er DEC...

BACKGROUND Failed shoulder instability surgery is mostly considered to be the recurrence of shoulder dislocation but subluxation, painful or non-reliable shoulder are also reasons for patient dissatisfaction and should be considered in the notion. METHODS The authors performed a revision of the literature and online contents on evaluation and management of failed shoulder instability surgery....

This paper revisits the old question of whether wage growth di¤ers by education level. Do more educated workers invest more than less educated workers in …rm speci…c, sector speci…c or general human capital? Do they gain more from improved job match? The paper makes both a methodological and a substantive contribution by o¤ering an alternative strategy for separately identifying returns to gene...

A journal can only be as good as its reviewers. The Editors of Circulation Research wish to acknowledge the following reviewers, who have distinguished themselves for exemplary performance and outstanding contributions to the journal. They have selflessly donated their time (often on weekends and evenings), their energy, and their expertise to assist the editors in the difficult task of selecti...

OBJECTIVE The Bradford Hill criteria are the best available criteria for causal inference. However, there is no information on how the criteria should be weighed and they cannot be combined into one probability estimate for causality. Our objective is to provide an empirical basis for weighing the Bradford Hill criteria and to develop a transparent method to estimate the probability for causali...

Purpose. Impaction fractures of the anterior aspect of the humeral head, the reversed Hill-Sachs lesion, are common in posterior shoulder dislocation. We present a new technique to address these lesions arthroscopic-assisted with the use of a bone substitute. Methods. We report the case of a 45-year-old male with a reversed Hill-Sachs lesion after posterior shoulder dislocation. Initially a gle...

The present case shows a case of fracture-redislocation of the hip caused by a depressed fracture of the femoral head similar to a Hill-Sachs lesion. A 59-year-old man fell from a roof and his left hip joint was dislocated posteriorly. He was admitted to a nearby hospital, and he was referred to our hospital more than 24 hours after injury. Computed tomography (CT) suggested a bone chip from th...
