Hospitalization data were extracted for Marines wounded in Vietnam from 1965 to 1969 to examine the echelon flow of treatment care for different types of injuries. The inter-echelon movement of each patient who was hospitalized at an echelon II or III facility was tracked until the treatment was completed or until the patient was moved to a facility in the continental United States. Results sho...

STOVE-IN chest is a relatively uncommon injury. There have been only three admissions to the Sunderland Group of hospitals during the period I956-60 and this despite the fact that we serve a population of 390,ooo, in an area where there is a considerable amount of heavy industry, including shipbuilding and coalmining. Traffic passing through the town in the summer months to the seaside and coas...

We study Einstein lightlike hypersurfaces M of a Lorentzian space form M̃(c) admitting a semi-symmetric non-metric connection subject to the conditions; (1) M is screen conformal and (2) the structure vector field ζ of M̃ belongs to the screen distribution S(TM). The main result is a characterization theorem for such a lightlike hypersurface.

During one of the several unsuccessful admission interviews I had before finally being admitted to a graduate program, an interviewer asked me what kind of research I would like to do as a psychologist. "I plan to validate the Rorschach" was my reply. "And what will you do if you find the Rorschach isn't valid?" was the interviewer's next question. I don't recall my answer but it was obviously ...

We describe an algorithm which determines whether or not a group which is hyperbolic relative to abelian groups admits a nontrivial splitting over a finite group.

Discussions of and recommendations for the training of clinical neuropsychologists exist at the doctoral, internship, and post-doctoral level. With few exceptions, the literature on undergraduate preparations in clinical neuropsychology is sparse and lacks empirical evidence. In the present study, graduate-level faculty and current trainees completed surveys about graduate school preparations. ...

This paper examines hospital responses to changes in diagnosis-specific prices by exploiting a 1988 policy reform that generated large price changes for 43 percent of Medicare admissions. I find hospitals responded primarily by "upcoding" patients to diagnosis codes with the largest price increases. This response was particularly strong among for-profit hospitals. I find little evidence hospita...

Let Pm be a homogeneous polynomial of degree m in n ≥ 2 variables for which the associated partial differential operator Pm(D) admits a continuous linear right inverse on C∞(Rn). Examples suggest that then for each polynomial Q of degree less than m there exists a number 0 < β < 1 such that the operator (Pm+Q)(D) admits a continuous linear right inverse on the space of all ωβ-ultradifferentiabl...

HEALTH OP THE TROOPS FORMING THE VITAKRI FIELD FORCE. By Surgeon H. J. Yeld, 15th Bengal Cavalry. The report on the health of the Vitakri Field Force, which appeared in the January number of the Indian Medical Gazette, showed the sickness amongst the troops to the end of July only. The months of August, Sep tember and October showed an increasing rate of sickness, and the following figures have...

The Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Einstein) was founded in 1955 during an era of limited access to medical school for women, racial minorities, and many religious and ethnic groups. Located in the Bronx, NY, Einstein seeks to educate physicians in an environment of state-of-the-art scientific inquiry while simultaneously fulfilling a deep commitment to serve its community by providing th...
