Use of a spreadsheet program for Deming's linear regression analysis.

A spreadsheet program for Deming's linear regression analysis suitable for use with popular software packages such as Lotus 1-2-3 or Quattro is described. The program is controlled by an autoexecuting simple menu of operations allowing use by those with only limited experience of spreadsheet operation. Regression coefficients, identification of suspect outlying data values and confidence limits and graphical displays of fitted regression lines are provided.

Fractures of the ring of the axis. A classification based on the analysis of 131 cases.

The retrospective analysis of 131 patients suffering from a fracture of the ring of the axis is reported. The injury was classified into three types according to radiological displacement and stability. Associated injuries and neurological deficit are discussed and a theory of pathogenesis presented. Guidelines for the management of each type of fracture are proposed.
