Home - Sitemap - NOF - The Nordic Orthopaedic Federation Reliabilism Reliabilism encompasses a broad range of epistemological theories that try to explain knowledge or justification in terms of the truth-conduciveness of the process by which an agent forms a true belief. Process reliabilism is the most common type of reliabilism. The simplest form of process reliabilism regarding knowledge of some proposition p implies that agent S knows that p if and only if S believes that p, p is true, and S’s belief that p is formed by a reliable process. Table of Contents 1. a. The nature of the knowledge-constituting link between truth and belief is a principal issue in epistemology. Dating back to Plato’s Theaetetus, philosophical tradition held that knowledge is justified true belief (although it is debatable whether Plato's ‘logos’, often translated simply as account, corresponds to the contemporary idea of justification, and Plato himself found the true belief with logos explication of knowledge wanting).

The Cape Shoulder Institute - Shoulder Problems / Calcific Tendinitis Arthroscopic Surgery At the Cape Shoulder Institute, arthroscopic surgery, being a minimally invasive diagnostic and treatment procedure utilising a small, lighted, optic tube, is performed regularly. Many procedures can be carried out utilising this technique, some of which may be undertaken in the consulting rooms using local anaesthesia, most often under ultrasound control. This method thus avoids the need for admission to hospital. Open Surgery Some operations can only be carried out through "open" incisions as it is not possible to perform them arthroscopically. Examples of such operations are a shoulder replacement or the Latarjet stabilization operation. Joint replacement Tendon transfers Stabilization procedures where there is bone loss Rotator cuff repairs Treatment of fractures
Is It Safe to Cut Off the Mold and Eat the Rest? There's more to mold than that green, possibly furry patch on the surface of your bread, or the velvety dots found on old fruit. It turns out that the colorful patches visible to the naked eye are the spores , or tiny particles that give mold its color. The rest of the mold its branches and roots are difficult to see and sometimes burrow deep within your food. Because the colorful spores on the surface of your food are just part of the mold, scraping or cutting this part off of your bread or bagel won't save you from eating a mouthful of fungus . "Most molds are harmless but some are dangerous," said Nadine Shaw, technical information specialist at the U.S. Mycotoxins are found primarily in molds that grow on grains and nuts , but can also be found in grape juice, celery, apples and other produce , according to the USDA.

Liqueur In the United States and Canada, where spirits are often called "liquor" (pronounced /ˈlɪkər/, with stress on the first rather than the second syllable), there is often confusion over liqueurs and liquors, especially as many spirits today are available in flavored form (e.g. flavored vodka). The most reliable rule of thumb is that liqueurs are quite sweet and often syrupy in consistency, while liquors are not. Most liqueurs have a lower alcohol content (15–30% ABV) than spirits, but some contain as much as 55% ABV. History[edit] Nowadays, liqueurs are made worldwide and are served in many ways: by themselves, poured over ice, with coffee, mixed with cream or other mixers to create cocktails, etc. Some liqueurs are prepared by infusing certain woods, fruits, or flowers in either water or alcohol and adding sugar or other items. Layered drinks are made by floating different-colored liqueurs in separate layers. The word liqueur comes from the Latin liquifacere ("to liquefy"). Liqueurs
Orthopaedic Review What does writing fiction and being a doctor have in common? I have been asked a lot lately, owing to the release of my novel Altamont Augie, what writing fiction and being a doctor could possibly have in common? Patients and colleagues seem shocked that the rational, left-brain doctor they have come to know and depend on to deliver technologically complex medical care to patients with kidney failure could produce such a right-brain thing as a novel. Where did this come from? Well, everything. Writing fiction and the practice of medicine are paired callings that require remarkably similar skill sets. When I return from a vacation or long weekend and begin making rounds in the dialysis clinic at 7:00 a.m. on a Monday morning, there is a restlessness inside me that is hard to understand, an anxiousness verging on a state of unease—or dis-ease, if you will. This mysterious, discomfiting anxiety reliably and predictably dissolves shortly after greeting the first patient I see. And so it is with writing fiction.

Cranial nerves Cranial nerves are nerves emerging directly from the brain, which is in contrast to spinal nerves (which emerge from various segments of the spinal cord).[1] Cranial nerves exchange information between the brain and parts of the body, primarily to and from regions of the head and neck.[2] Spinal nerves emerge regularly from the spinal cord with the nerve closest to the head emerging in the space above the first cervical vertebra with the nerve C1, with the cranial nerves filling corresponding roles above this level.[3] Each cranial nerve is paired and is present on both sides. Depending on definition there are in humans twelve or thirteen cranial nerves pairs, which are assigned Roman numerals I–XII, and zero assigned to cranial nerve zero, (or the terminal nerve). The terminal nerves, olfactory nerves (I) and optic nerves (II) emerge from the cerebrum or forebrain, and the remaining ten pairs arise from the brainstem.[1] Anatomy[edit] Terminology[edit] Intracranial course[edit] Other[edit]
Why You Should Start More Than One Business There are two types of entrepreneurs: Those who start one company and those who start lots of companies. Those who start lots of companies like to describe themselves as “serial entrepreneurs,” which may or may not be slightly fatuous.
