TL;DR: It is revealed that certain tortures and their physical and emotional sequelae are more prevalent than previously appreciated and the use of standardized diagnostic criteria in the evaluation of patients who have survived torture is recommended.
Abstract: We present a review of the international literature on the medical and psychological effects of torture. Our review reveals that certain tortures and their physical and emotional sequelae are more prevalent than previously appreciated. They include the common occurrence of sexual violence during the torture of women and female adolescents and the high frequency of head injury and associated neuropsychiatric consequences. We recommend the use of standardized diagnostic criteria in the evaluation of patients who have survived torture; this will facilitate patient care and the documentation of human rights violations.

TL;DR: In this article, a robust procedure known as the jackknife is suggested for testing the statistical significance of interobserver agreement measures, which is formally equivalent to testing the significance of the lag-zero cross-correlation between two time series.
Abstract: Users of interobserver agreement statistics have heretofore ignored the problem of autocorrelation in behavior sequences when testing the statistical significance of agreement measures. Due to autocorrelation traditional reliability tests based on the 2 × 2 contingency-table model (e.g., kappa, phi) are incorrect. Correct tests can be developed by using the bivariate time series as a statistical model. Seen from this perspective, testing the significance of interobserver agreement becomes formally equivalent to testing the significance of the lag-zero cross-correlation between two time series. The robust procedure known as the jackknife is suggested for this purpose.
