Recurrent venous thromboembolism: quite harmless after all?
Thromb Haemost 2008; 99: 655–656 Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) are pathophysiologically linked manifestations of the same disease, but their natural course, prognosis, and therapeutic management are quite different in clinical practice. Clearly, the risk of death related to the initial acute episode is higher in patients who present with PE than in those with DV...
متن کاملWhy are Normal Distributions Normal?
We seem to be surrounded by bell curves—curves more formally known as normal distributions, or Gaussian distributions. All manner of things appear to be distributed normally: people’s heights, sizes of snowflakes, errors in measurements, lifetimes of lightbulbs, IQ scores, weights of loaves of bread, and so on. I argue that the standard explanation for why such quantities are normally distribut...
متن کاملSimple snoring: not quite so simple after all?
Simple snoring (SS), in the absence of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), is a common problem, yet our understanding of its causes and consequences is incomplete. Our understanding is blurred by the lack of consistency in the definition of snoring, methods of assessment, and degree of concomitant complaints. Further, it remains contentious whether SS is independently associated with daytime sleepi...
متن کاملWhy Phonological Constraints Are so Granular
Speech perception models with a fast phonological preprocessor (an FPP) require a uniform phonology throughout the speech community, because chunking errors would otherwise impede lexical access. The phonological constraints encapsulated in an FPP arise as regularities over the lexicon. However, different people know different words. A Monte Carlo simulation of vocabulary acquisition using the ...
متن کاملWhy we are not all novelists
In this chapter I consider one of the necessary conditions for being a novelist, the ability to open up and sustain a fictional world. My approach will draw from psychopathology, phenomenology and neuroscience. Using the phenomenological concept of “multiple realities,” I argue that the novelist is in some ways like and in some ways unlike someone who experiences delusions insofar as the noveli...
