BACKGROUND Women's views are critical for informing the planning and delivery of maternity care services. ST segment analysis (STan) is a promising method to more accurately detect when unborn babies are at risk of brain damage or death during labour that is being trialled for the first time in Australia. This is the first study to examine women's views about STan monitoring in this context. ...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to quantify inter- and intra-observer agreement on classification of the intrapartum cardiotocogram (CTG) and decision to intervene following STAN guidelines. DESIGN A prospective, observational study. SETTING Obstetrics Department of a tertiary referral hospital. POPULATION STAN recordings of 73 women after 36 weeks of gestation with a high-risk ...

Many epithelia have a common planar cell polarity (PCP), as exemplified by the consistent orientation of hairs on mammalian skin and insect cuticle. One conserved system of PCP depends on Starry night (Stan, also called Flamingo), an atypical cadherin that forms homodimeric bridges between adjacent cells. Stan acts together with other transmembrane proteins, most notably Frizzled (Fz) and Van G...

The conserved process of centriole duplication requires Plk4 kinase to recruit and promote interactions between Sas6 and Sas5/Ana2/STIL (respective nomenclature of worms/flies/humans). Plk4-mediated phosphorylation of Ana2/STIL in its conserved STAN motif has been shown to promote its interaction with Sas6. However, STAN motif phosphorylation is not required for recruitment of Ana2 to the centr...

This is a nontechnical summary of a much longer study which will appear with the same title in Richard Freeman, Birgitta Swedenborg, and Robert Topel, eds. (forthcoming). I am especially indebted to Henry Ohlsson and Birgitta Swedenborg, and to Stan Engerman, Vic Fuchs, Assar Lindbeck, Stephen Lundgren, and Agnar Sandmo for comments on initial drafts. I alone am responsible for the views expres...

In this lecture I will give a brief review of the experimental progress in the study of CP violation in the neutral K meson system. We will speak exclusively of the measurement of ~noo~2/~n+-~2 for which two new experimental results have been announced. A more complete discussion of other relevant experiments has been given in the lectures of Stan Wojcicki in this volume. A thorough discussion ...

News Corporation I tall started when Stan Honey (vice president of technology for News Corporation) was taking with David Hill (then-president of Fox Sports, a NewsCorp company). Stan was describing an exciting, emerging technology-virtual electronic billboards-that he felt could benefit Fox Sports. Though impressed with this prospect, David had just acquired the rights to produce National Hock...

Computerized analysis of the fetal electrocardiogram has been developed during the past 40 years. A mature system for ST analysis (STAN) has resulted from a series of laboratory and clinical studies. The current STAN system provides adjunctive information to the standard interpretation of fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns. This monograph describes the basis for the STAN methodology, including the...
