OBJECTIVE : The objective of this study was to describe self-assessed student knowledge of female pelvic medicine (FPM) during the OBGYN clerkship. METHODS : Students at 6 sites scored their knowledge of 12 FPM topics and 4 procedures both before and after their clerkship. Analysis included Wilcoxon tests, Spearman correlation, and univariate and multivariate models. RESULTS : A total of 32...

Block Krylov subspace spectral (KSS) methods are a “best-of-both-worlds” compromise between explicit and implicit time-stepping methods for variable-coefficient PDE, in that they combine the efficiency of explicit methods and the stability of implicit methods, while also achieving spectral accuracy in space and high-order accuracy in time. Block KSS methods compute each Fourier coefficient of t...

Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS) is a rare mitochondrial myopathy that usually develops before 20 years of age. It demonstrates multisystemic involvement with a triad of cardinal features: progressive ophthalmoplegia, pigmentary retinopathy, and cardiac conduction abnormalities. In addition, patients might have cerebellar ataxia, a high content of protein in the cerebrospinal fluid, proximal myopath...

The 2011 KSS is a valid clinical TKA questionnaire, but with a low completion rate (42%). Adjustments, focusing on optimizing scale features, are required to improve its clinical use. The low completion rates, non-optimal scale features, lacking rules or a combination of these factors where addressed, leading to the development of the adjusted 2011 KSS (2011 KSS-A). Four-hundred-ninety-nine pri...

The task of inverting logical entailment is of central importance to the disciplines of Abductive and Inductive Logic Programming (ALP& ILP). Bottom Generalisation (BG) is a widely applied approach for Inverse Entailment (IE), but is limited to deriving single clauses from a hypothesis space restricted by Plotkin’s notion of C-derivation. Moreover, known practical applications of BG are confine...
