A recent iterative procedure by Lu et al. for designing IIR filters is recognized as the Sanathanan–Koerner or Steiglitz–McBride iteration, which was proposed originally in 1963 and 1965, respectively, for system identification purposes. We re-examine some claims and issues related to Lu et al.’s paper1 in view of various properties that have been deduced for the Steiglitz–McBride iteration in ...

McBride popularized the lateral release in the earlier part of the century as an isolated soft tissue procedure to correct hallux valgus. Since the procedure did not correct the structural deformity, surgeons performed the procedure with fibular sesamoidectomy and/or adductor transfer in an attempt to maximize the soft tissue correction. However, it became apparent that overzealous work within ...

BACKGROUND Hallux valgus still remains a problem in orthopaedic surgery, a fact attested to by over a hundred operating procedures for the correction of this deformity that have been elaborated until now. The aim of the study was to evaluate the results of the McBride procedure for surgical correction of the hallux valgus deformity using an anatomic & functional foot scoring system and roentgen...

199 Cardiovascular disease is one of the most common causes of mortality affecting both men and women in industrialized nations. Sex-related differences have been well established with regard to heart and vascular function as well as cardiovascular disease processes. Nevertheless, the precise mechanisms of action behind these gender-related differences are poorly understood. Premenopausal women...

The purpose of this study was to compare the results of the Chevron osteotomy to the DuVries' modification of the McBride procedure using identical criteria in two groups of patients. Thirty-two patients (48 feet) that had a Chevron osteotomy and 10 patients (17 feet) who had a modified McBride bunionectomy without metatarsal osteotomy for treatment of mild to moderate hallux valgus were retros...
