OBJECTIVES To assess the effectiveness of a newly developed triage tool to provide urgent access to genitourinary medicine (GUM) for patients. To appraise its value in compiling statistics for patients attending the department without appointments or those telephoning for advice. METHOD Retrospective evaluation of triage forms completed by healthcare professional (HCP). Randomly selected tria...

Light-front quantum chromodynamics may lead to an accurate constituent approximation for the low-energy properties of hadrons. This requires a cutoff that violates explicit gauge invariance and Lorentz covariance, leading to the calculation of a renormalized QCD hamiltonian using a similarity renormalization group. Renormalization repairs broken symmetries, and in light-front field theory it mo...

It seems I am fighting a two-front war, besieged by three superb scholars. Professors Robert Delahunty and John Yoo,1 and Professor Michael Ramsey2 have authored bracing and challenging responses to Unleashing the Dogs of War (Unleashing).3 Though I have learned from these essays, their authors might say that I have not learned enough because I continue to adhere to the categorical theory’s cla...
