Posttraumatic stress disorder in the orthopedic patient (continuing education credit).

Our clinical experience indicates that the incidence of PTSD in orthopaedic patients is higher than is described in the literature. Patients such as Karen, Jim and Bill are not uncommon. All individuals who experience an immensely stressful event are at risk for developing this complex response. Orthopaedic nurses must be knowledgeable about the multifaceted nature of the post trauma response, since they are in a key position to recognize its symptoms, participate in treatment, and facilitate individuals' return to a pretraumatic state.

Assessment and treatment of craniosynostosis.

Craniosynostosis poses a challenge to a multiplicity of paediatric specialties. In addition to the obvious cosmetic considerations there are often severe functional connotations. The spectrum of these disorders is outlined, and their investigation and the options for surgical correction are discussed.

Diagnostic decision support by inference networks.

Inference networks permit the combining of diagnostic evidence in such a fashion that the mutual dependence structure of different pieces of evidence is considered, and that a probabilistic measure of the uncertainty of the final diagnostic decision is provided. Operated in an automatic reasoning mode, an inference network allows a decoupling of the false negative rate from the false positive rate in diagnostic procedures involving rare event detection such as the prescreening for cervical cancer.

Deliberating about bioethics.

In some sense, bioethics was built on conflicts. Abortion, physician-assisted suicide, patients' demand for autonomy all are staple and contentious issues. And the controversies continue to proliferate. What forum best serves such debates? A look at political theories of democracy can help answer that question. The most promising for bioethics debates are theories that ask citizens and officials to justify any demands for collective action by giving reasons that can be accepted by those who are bound by the action. This conception has come to be known as deliberative democracy.
