AMONG cases of proptosis, I have met with three in which the causative lesion proved to be a form of lipoid granulomatosis, also known as lipoidosis and xanthomatosis. Two of these cases will be presented in this paper; in the third (Handousa, 1949) the lesion was mainly manifested in the temporal bones simulating double mastoiditis. The term lipoidosis covers several clinically distinguishable...

The view that rheumatoid arthritis might be caused by an infective agent has long been held. Although various bacteria have been isolated in the past, none has been shown to cause the disease. Much of this work was done in the 1930s and was extensively reviewed by P. S. Hench and his fellow editors of the first eight "Rheumatism Reviews" (1935-1941) published collectively in 1961. In more recen...

Fitness distributions are employed as tools for understanding the effects of variation operators in Genetic Programming. Eleven operators are analyzed on four common benchmark problems by estimating generation dependent features of the fitness distributions, e.g. the probability of improvement and the expected average fitness change. Fitness Distributions: Tools for Designing Efficient Evolutio...

The sudden rise of alternative medicine can be attributed to a growing dissatisfaction with conventional medical practices. Modern methods have mainly focused on the physical symptoms. However, we are spiritual, social and emotional creatures as well. Healing improves when all of these components are addressed. Conventional medicine has also been criticized for its impersonal approach. Overwork...

To adopt the former alternative is to involve oneself in the task of providing a theory of value which would make value a property things have as it were prior to their serving as objects of desire. Theories of this sort have been developed inter alia by Meinong, Nicolai Hartman...
