(Fam Med 2006;38(2):86-9.) Editor’s Note: Caring for patients with chronic pain can be difficult for learners and even the most experienced physicians. In this month’s column, Heidi Pomm, PhD, of the St Vincent’s Medical Center Family Medicine Residency in Jacksonville, Fla, explains important diagnostic and management issues that the office-based teacher should discuss with learners caring for...

The concept of conformally equivariant quantizations was introduced by Duval, Lecomte and Ovsienko in [8] for manifolds endowed with flat conformal structures. They obtained results of existence and uniqueness (up to normalization) of such a quantization procedure. A natural generalization of this concept is to seek for a quantization procedure, over a manifold M , that depends on a pseudo-Riem...

Abstract We consider the third quantization in quantum cosmology of a minisuperspace extended by Eisenhart–Duval lift. study based on both Klein–Gordon type and Dirac-type equations minisuperspace. Spontaneous creation ‘Universes’ is investigated upon simple model. find that wave function reveals number density universes expressed Fermi–Dirac distribution. also calculate entanglement entropy mu...

BACKGROUND The report presents the authors' experience with Fassier-Duval rods in children and an analysis of advantages and complications. MATERIAL AND METHODS Over a period of 15 months, the authors operated on 10 children and 18 rod implantation procedures were performed. In five cases, the implantation was a primary procedure, while in the remaining 13 cases Fassier-Duval rods were used t...

Purpose To introduce a new model of telescopic intramedullary rod (TIR), evaluate its effects on treating patients presenting with moderate and severe osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and to compare the findings with those of other telescopic rods. Methods A total of 21 patients (nine girls and 12 boys; mean age at first operation, 6.6 years, 1.52 to 13.18) who underwent 52 femoral operations wer...

Lobstein disease is a severe disease characterized primarily by bone fragility which causes numerous fractures, especially in long bones. Multiple fracture of a bone will cause in time a deformity with consecutive functional impotence. The treatment for Lobstein disease in children must take into account both increasing bone strength and fracture prevention and treatment of possible fractures. ...

Inspired by some basic formal aspects of standard model of fundamental physics, in this paper, putting into comparison the Eugene Wigner’s theoretical definition of elementary particle with some aspects of the semiotic theory according to Raymond Duval, it will be possible to lay out the former into the latter theory which will get a further epistemological foundation also on the basis of the e...
