TL;DR: Preoperative warning for lower third molar removal can be individually tailored depending on the intimacy of the ID canal to the root apices and the anticipated surgical technique.
Abstract: Objective The aim of this study was to identify the relative risk of damage to the inferior dental (ID) and lingual nerves in patients undergoing lower third molar removal. Study Design A single surgeon reviewed 1,000 patients. Results Temporary ID neurosensory deficit was highest (11%) when root apices were intimate to the ID nerve and lowest (0.9%) when close or distant from the nerve. Permanent ID neurosensory deficit was 0.4% per tooth but only when intimate to the canal. Bone removal, tooth division, and lingual split technique increase the risk of excessive hemorrhage which appears to be linked to the highest risk of temporary ID neurosensory deficit (20%). Permanent lingual nerve injury was rare (0.06%) and not related to lingual retraction. Conclusions Preoperative warning for lower third molar removal can be individually tailored depending on the intimacy of the ID canal to the root apices and the anticipated surgical technique.

TL;DR: Enabling patients to book with a preferred doctor, particularly those in less deprived communities could have an impact on reducing emergency admissions.
Abstract: From 2004 to 2009 there was almost a 12% rise in emergency admissions in England. This can be explained partly by an aging population and other socio-demographic characteristics, but much cannot be explained by these factors. We explored aspects of care, in addition to known demographic characteristics in general practice, that are associated with emergency admissions. A cross-sectional design employing hospital admission data from 76 general practices in Northamptonshire, England for 2006–08, including demographic data, quality and outcomes framework points and GP patient survey outcomes. There were statistically significant associations between emergency admissions and age, gender, distance from hospital and proportion classified as white. There was also a statistically significant relationship between emergency admissions and being able to book an appointment with a preferred doctor; this relationship was stronger in less deprived communities. Enabling patients to book with a preferred doctor, particularly those in less deprived communities could have an impact on reducing emergency admissions. It is possible that being able to consult a preferred GP gives patient’s confidence to avoid an emergency admission or it facilitates consistent clinical management that helps prevent the need for admission. However the findings only explained some of the variation.

TL;DR: A permanent block can be established through coronary sclerosis, coronary thrombosis, rheumatic heart disease, syphilitic gumma, and more rarely through diphtheria, tuberculosis, and carcinoma affecting the A-V node or bundle directly.
Abstract: Disturbances of conduction in the heart may be purely functional, when for example demands are made on the conduction path very early in diastole as seen in blocked and aberrantly conducted auricular extrasystoles (Scherf and Boyd, 1940), or when too many stimuli are presented for conduction within a short time as with the incomplete A-V block that always exists in auricular fibrillation. Conduction disturbances may also be due to vagal inhibition. They may occur transiently after pneumonia and influenza, and are well known in diphtheria; recently Neubauer (1942) found many examples of partial and complete block in 100 cases of diphtheria. Over-digitalization may through poisoning of the A-V node lead to prolongation of conduction time, partial, or complete block. A permanent block can be established through coronary sclerosis, coronary thrombosis, rheumatic heart disease, syphilitic gumma, and more rarely through diphtheria, tuberculosis, and carcinoma affecting the A-V node or bundle directly. Congenital complete heart block is also known, and a few cases were found by Yater (1929), Aitken (1932), Campbell and Suzman (1934), and Currie (1940). The exceptional event of heart block as a result of direct trauma to the chest wall is described by Coffen (1930), Walker (1933), and White (1937). The following is the report of a case in which complete heart block was associated with an intracardiac aneurysm and aortic stenosis.

Abstract: The construction of a complex software system involves many agents with different perspectives or views of the system they are trying to describe or model. This gives rise to many partial specifications Ð viewpoints. These viewpoints may "interfere" with each other that is the goals of the agents may be mutually interdependent. This interference is inevitable and acceptable in system development. In this paper we examine how interference can be "managed" and the tasks that this entails. We summarise ongoing research and suggest new research directions.
