Clinic (office) blood pressure (BP) measurement has a well-established role in medical practice and is the standard on which most of the literature is based. However, clinic BP has several important limitations, including the potential for inadequate or misleading estimates of a patient’s true BP status and suboptimal prediction of cardiovascular risk. Particularly relevant is the concern that ...

This paper presents a theoretical model which discusses the value of and need for the use of outcome rather than process evaluations of programs for the elderly. The theoretical framework is based on the highly successful philosophical model of statistical quality control used in industry, which assumes the best way to improve quality is to look at the outcomes. Most accreditation associations,...

Leaf-level morphological and physiological responses of mature, winter-deciduous, shade-tolerant Acer saccharum Marsh. trees to gap formation caused by selection harvest were studied experimentally over a 2-year period. We found no evidence for either physiological stress or positive acclimation following gap creation during the 1-2-week post-harvest period. Rather, lower-canopy leaves showed g...
