Saudi Medical Journal

Idiopathic acute eosinophilic pneumonia is a recently described cause of acute respiratory failure. It usually affects young healthy individuals. Usually non-pulmonary organs are not involved. Bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophilia is required for diagnosis. This disease responds uniformly to a short course of corticosteroids and does not recur. We report a young man who presented with a 2-day history of acute respiratory failure simulating severe community acquired pneumonia and necessitating mechanical ventilation. The diagnosis was made based on the classical clinical presentation and bronchoalveolar lavage and peripheral blood eosinophilia.

Saudi Medical Journal

Infectious endocarditis is a potentially lethal inflammation of the hearts9 inner lining invaded by microorganisms. The mortality from this illness increases as the number of infective organisms rises to 2, due to involvement of the left side of the heart. These microorganisms usually arise from the patient9s own flora but can be acquired from the environment. Fever and heart murmurs are the principal clinical manifestations followed by a plethora of peripheral signs due to dissemination of microorganisms via the bloodstream. Echocardiographic imaging and sensitive culture techniques form the cornerstone of diagnosis. We report a patient with rheumatic heart disease who …

Enron And The Dark Side Of Shareholder Value, William Wilson Bratton Jan 2002

Enron And The Dark Side Of Shareholder Value, William Wilson Bratton

Articles

This Article addresses the implications that the Enron collapse holds out for the self-regulatory system of corporate governance. The case shows that the incentive structure that motivates actors in the system generates much less powerful checks against abuse than many observers have believed. Even as academics have proclaimed rising governance standards, some standards have declined, particularly those addressed to the numerology of shareholder value. The Article's inquiry begins with Enron's business plan. The Article asserts that there may be more to Enron’s "virtual firm" strategy than meets the eye beholding a firm in collapse. The Article restates the strategy as …

Don't Believe Everything You Think: Cognitive Bias In Legal Decision Making, Ian Weinstein

Faculty Scholarship

This article discusses the role of cognitive bias in legal decision making. Drawing on research in cognitive science and law, it explores the impact of cognitive bias on both lawyers and clients.
