Ordering by the numbers in anatomy and by letters Too

Here, new rules of Latin anatomical nomenclature are proposed to deal with cases not covered by existing or other recommended rules. Determiners (e.g., numerals, letters, alphanumeric strings, and Latin names of Greek letters) should follow the noun they specify or limit, just as it is recommended that adjectives should follow the noun they modify. In general, Roman numerals, Latin letters, and Latin names of Greek letters are preferable to Arabic numerals and Greek letters in Latin anatomical terms. It is also noted that the word typus (type) appears to be superfluous and unnecessary in the Latin anatomical nomenclature. Clin. Anat. 30:700–702, 2017. © 2017Wiley Periodicals, Inc

Improving the Nutritional Quality of Charitable Meals for Homeless and Vulnerable Adults: A Mixed Method Study of Two Meals Services in a Large English City

Inadequate nutrition may contribute to poor health in homeless and vulnerable adults. Charitable meals are critical to this group’s nutrition. The nutrient content of charitable meals at 2 organizations was assessed. Ethnography investigated organizational practice; semistructured interviews explored influences on meal provision. Meals were adequate for energy and the majority of nutrients but exceeded thresholds of saturated fat, salt, and sugars and lacked vitamin D and selenium in both organizations. Organizations were constrained by budget, equipment, food donations, volunteer capabilities, and time. Organizational values influenced meal provision; strategies to reduce fat, salt, and sugar content may be resisted because of an ethos of hospitality and overprovision

Integrity in democratic politics

The complaint that many professional politicians lack integrity is common. However, it is unclear what such a judgement amounts to. Taking various codes of political ethics in the United Kingdom as my starting point, I examine the extent to which we can understand political integrity as a matter of politicians adhering to the obligations that official codes of ethics prescribe and, in a more general sense, the public-service ethos that underpins these codes. I argue that although this way of approaching the issue usefully draws our attention to an important class of positional duties that apply to politicians, commitment to principled political causes plays a further, indispensable role in coherent assessments of political integrity. In consequence, I claim that politicians of integrity succeed in furthering their deepest political commitments while avoiding malfeasance or misconduct. As such, the ascription of political integrity can often only be made when assessing a long train of action

Diagnostic standards and classification of tuberculosis in adults and children

A joint statement of the American Thoracic Society and the CDC, this article provides a framework for and an understanding of the diagnostic approaches to tuberculosis (TB) infection/disease and to present a classification scheme that facilitates management of all persons to whom diagnostic tests have been applied. The specific objectives of this revision of the Diagnostic Standards are to define diagnostic strategies for high- and low-risk patient populations based on current knowledge of TB epidemiology and information on newer technology and to provide a classification scheme for TB that is based on pathogenesis. Definitions of TB disease and latent infection have been selected that (1) aid in an accurate diagnosis; (2) coincide with the appropriate response of the health care team, whether it be no response, treatment of latent infection, or treatment of disease; (3) provide the most useful information that correlates with the prognosis; (4) provide the necessary information of appropriate public health action; and (5) provide a uniform, functional, and practical means of reporting. Because TB, even after it has been treated adequately, remains a pertinent and lifelong part of a person's medical history, previous as well as current disease is included in the classification. This edition of the Diagnostic Standards has been prepared as a practical guide and statement of principles for all persons involved in the care of patients with TB. References have been included to guide the reader to texts and journal articles for more detailed information on each topic. Section headings are (I) Epidemiology, (II) Transmission of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, (III) Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis, (IV) Clinical Manifestations of Tuberculosis, (V) Diagnostic Microbiology, (VI) Tuberculin Skin Test, (VII) Classification of Persons Exposed to and/or Infected with Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, and (VIII) Reporting of Tuberculosis.I.

The political phenomenology of war reporting

Drawing on interviews with war correspondents, editors, political and military personnel, this article investigates the political dimension of the structuration and structuring effects of the reporter’s experience of journalism. Self-reflection and judgements about colleagues confirm that there are dominant norms for interpreting and acting in conflict scenarios which, while contingent upon socio-historical context, are interpreted as natural. But the prevalence of such codes masks the systematically misrecognized symbolic systems of mystification and ambivalence – systems which reproduce hierarchies and gatekeeping structures in the field, but which are either experienced as unremarkable, dismissed with irony and cynicism, or not present to the consciousness of the war correspondent. The article builds on recent theories of journalistic disposition, ideology, discourse and professionalism, and describes the political dimension of journalistic practice perceived in the field as apolitical. It addresses the gendering of war correspondence, the rise of the journalist as moral authority, and questions the extent to which respondent reflections can be defensibly analytically determined
