Recent guidelines issued jointly by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine for assessing labor differ substantially from those described initially by Friedman, who led obstetric practice for decades. The new recommendations are based on results achieved by the analysis of patterns of cervical dilation and fetal descent. They argue...

UNLABELLED OSAHS is an important disease in current medical settings because of its association with chronic cardiovascular diseases and socioeconomic impacts. AIMS to establish the correlation between the Friedman Classification and the OSAHS severity through the Apnea-Hypopnea Index) in patients with OSAHS for assessment and surgery purposes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cross-sectional study. W...

PpT HE purpose of this paper is to test empirically two propositions which have been closely, although not exclusively, associated with Milton Friedman in recent years. The first is the hypothesis that changes in monetary or fiscal policy variables are frequently ineffective in stabilizing some target variable because they are poorly timed.1 The second hypothesis, which was presented by Friedma...

In this paper we provide a thorough classification of Friedman-Lemâıtre-RobertsonWalker (FLRW) cosmological models in terms of the strong or weak character of their singularities according to the usual definitions. The classification refers to a generalised Puiseux power expansion of the scale factor of the model around a singular event.

The Friedman universe is re-examined in a context that is non-standard only in that the properties of matter are postulated in the form of an action principle. Applications to equilibrium configurations of ideal stars have already been reported. In this paper we apply the same theory to a fresh examination of the Friedman universe. The results agree with standard theory in the case of low densi...

We study optimal monetary policy in a NewMonetarist framework with banking, private liquidity, and credit frictions.We show that whenever part of the decentralized transactions are allowed to use deposit claims backed by interest-bearing assets, the optimal policy is a non-Friedman-rule liquidity trap. In contrast, the Friedman rule is optimal if there are no credit frictions, or if the economy...

Recent empirical research found that the strong short-term relationship between monetary aggregates and US real output and inflation, as outlined in the classical study by M. Friedman and Schwartz, mostly disappeared since the early 1980s. In the light of the B. Friedman and Kuttner (1992) information value approach, we reevaluate the vanishing relationship between US monetary aggregates and th...
