BACKGROUND Myoclonus may occur after hypoxia. In 1963, Lance and Adams described persistent myoclonus with other features after hypoxia. However, myoclonus occurring immediately after hypoxia may demonstrate different syndromic features from classic Lance-Adams syndrome (LAS). The aim of this review is to provide up-to-date information about the spectrum of myoclonus occurring after hypoxia wit...

Kruskal (1954, 1959), Dagnelie (1960) and Sokal and Sneath (1963), but it is doubtful whether even these extensive collections are complete. For general consideration, suppose that two groups (i) and (j) fuse to form a.group (k); then, extending (and slightly altering) the symbolism of Williams, Lambert and Lance (1966), we shall need to distinguish between three types of measure: (i)-measures,...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this work was to compare the efficacy of breastfeeding versus orally administered sucrose solution in reducing pain response during blood sampling through heel lance. METHODS; We conducted an open-label, randomized, controlled trial at a neonatal unit of a public hospital in northern Italy on 101 term neonates undergoing heel lance with an automated piercing device for ...

On 15 August 2022, Lance Taylor, the towering structuralist macroeconomist and a thinker of uncommon breadth, sadly passed away. His work, spanning almost six decades, stands out for its originality, creativity, (policy) relevance theoretical rigour as well fearless commitment to speak truth power in academic policy-making circles. This essay reviews Taylor's progression from an early developme...

OBJECTIVES To describe developmentally appropriate, specific body movements and other biobehavioral responses of preterm infants to a group of routine care giving tasks (Clustered Care), and to compare responses to acute pain with those of Clustered Care. METHODS In a randomized design, 54 preterm infants were assessed at 32 weeks gestational age during 3 phases of blood collection (Baseline,...

A formula is given for a flexible combinatorial clustering strategy, having UPGMA and ISS as special cases. When numerical clustering methods are used to investigate the structure of taxonomic groups, it is common practice to try several methods, having different clustering intensities. For example, one might use single linkage (weak), UPGMA (medium), and complete linkage (strong) (Sneath and S...

Lance-Adams syndrome (LAS) is an uncommon neurological disorder characterized by the development of chronic post-hypoxic myoclonus. There are relatively few cases described following successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We report a patient who developed LAS 3 months after successful resuscitation. Cerebral imaging studies indicate that brain pathology in LAS patients is not uniform, sugges...

This paper discusses the relationship between education and crime from an economic perspective, developing a human capital-based model that sheds light on key ways in which early childhood programs and policies that encourage schooling may affect both juvenile and adult crime. The paper first discusses evidence on the effects of educational attainment, school quality, and school enrollment on c...

'Entailment' can be said in many ways. In the present paper, we sketch a linguistic theory which motivates taking 'A entails B' to mean 'commitment to A is, in part, commitment to B', and we present four formal systems designed to capture this concept. These four systems turn out (somewhat surprisingly) to be the strict implicational fragments of the modal logics K, T, K4, and $4 (see Hughes an...
