BACKGROUND Treatment of vivax malaria with primaquine prevents the relapse of infection from residual liver stages of the parasite. Inadequate dosage is related to a higher relapse risk. METHODS A comparison was made of vivax malaria relapse-prevention treatments with primaquine 22.5 mg or 30 mg daily for 14 days on 146 reports to the Australian Army Central Malaria Register. RESULTS The lo...

This paper argues that the Humean theory of chance is formally adequate in the sense that it satisfies the axioms of finitely additive probability. To this end, firstly, a functionalist account of chance is defended, according to which chance is a functional property and the function relevant to chance is to constrain an agent’s credence in the manner prescribed by David Lewis’s Principal Princ...

We present a case of an 81-year-old female patient who was resuscitated after out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation. Clinical recovery was fine, but cardiological analysis showed a dilated cardiomyopathy with a poor systolic left ventricular function, left bundle branch block and persistent atrial fibrillation. There was no significant coronary artery disease. We prescribed heart failure med...

The notion of adequate subgroups was introduced by Jack Thorne [42]. It is a weakening of the notion of big subgroups used in generalizations of the Taylor-Wiles method for proving the automorphy of certain Galois representations. Using this idea, Thorne was able to strengthen many automorphy lifting theorems. It was shown in [22] that if the dimension is small compared to the characteristic th...
