Patterns of management for head injury in the acute and late stages are reviewed in respect of both mild and severe injuries. Because so many disciplines are involved, continuity of care if often difficult to achieve; and no one discipline is concerned with planning for the care of head injuries in a strategic way. The needs of head-injured patients are defined and suggestions made for improvin...

The authors report findings from a national study comparing congregationbased child care programs with other private and public programs. They found that 25% of child care is being provided by congregations, and that congregations are significantly more likely to be serving middle and upper-middle class children who pay flat rate fees, not low income children whose care is subsidized by governm...

We give the first non-trivial algorithms for the k-mismatch pattern matching problem with don’t cares. Given a text t of length n and a pattern p of length m with don’t care symbols and a bound k, our algorithms find all the places that the pattern matches the text with at most k mismatches. We first give an O(n(k + log n log log n) logm) time randomised solution which finds the correct answer ...

Alaska Native (AN) youth suicide remains a substantial and recalcitrant health disparity, especially in rural/remote communities. Promoting Community Conversations About Research to End Suicide (PC CARES) is a community health intervention that responds to the need for culturally responsive and evidence-supported prevention practice, using a grassroots approach to spark multilevel and community...

We consider n-bit binary encodings of integers. An integer interval [p, q] can be considered as a set X of binary strings corresponding to encodings of all integers in [p, q]. The most natural encoding is the usual binary representation of integers (lexicographic encoding) and another useful encoding, considered in the paper, the reflected Gray code. A word w with a don’t care symbol is matchin...

BACKGROUND Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) is considered a promising choice for the treatment of cartilage defects. However, the application of ACI to osteoarthritic patients is, in general, contraindicated. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of three-dimensionally structured ACI (3D-ACI; CaReS) in a rat model of knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS OA-like degener...
