The American Hospital Association [6] (AHA), joined by the American Medical Association [7] (AMA), brought the suit against the US Department of Health and Human Services [8] (HHS) and its then-director Otis R. Bowen [9], to have a series of requirements for neonatal care struck down. These requirements?the first set of Baby Doe Rules?were created by the HHS and US President Ronald Reagan's Adm...

Thomas Aubrey Bowen was one of the first medically trained oculists to practise in Australia.' Born in Cradley, Worcestershire, he was the third son of a 'dissenting' Unitarian minister, the Reverend William Bowen, MA. His mother, born Marianne Priestley, was a granddaughter of the radical Reverend Joseph Priestley, LLD, FRS, the famous chemist. Aubrey Bowen began his medical training at Sydenh...

OBJECTIVE To address the long-standing question of whether patients with Bowen disease are at increased risk of internal malignant neoplasms. PATIENTS A total of 1147 Danish patients diagnosed between 1978 and 1993 as having Bowen disease at nongenital sites were followed up for 6463 person-years for cancer occurrence up to 16 years after the skin lesion. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Standardized i...

Millions now suffer the effects of chronic arseniasis related to environmental arsenic exposure. The biological mechanisms responsible for arsenic-induced toxicity and especially chronic effects, including cancer, are not well known. The U.S. Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) is participating in an international research effort to improve this understanding by the development of the In...

Murray Bowen's family systems theory (shortened to `Bowen theory' from 1974) was one of the first comprehensive theories of family systems functioning (Bowen, 1966, 1978, Kerr and Bowen, 1988). While it has received sporadic attention in Australia and New Zealand, it continues to be a central influence in the practice of family therapy in North America. It is possible that some local family the...

This paper introduces a relatively simple method for recovering global fields of latent heat flux. The method focuses on specifying Bowen ratio estimates through exploiting air temperature and vapour pressure measurements obtained from infrared soundings of the AIRS (Atmospheric Infrared Sounder) sensor onboard NASA’s Aqua platform. Through combining these Bowen ratio retrievals with satellite ...
