Patients' And Caregivers' Needs, Experiences, Preferences And Research Priorities In Spiritual Care: A Focus Group Study Across Nine Countries., Lucy Ellen Selman, Lisa Jane Brighton, Shane Sinclair, Ikali Karvinen, Richard Egan, Peter Speck, Richard A Powell, Ewa Deskur-Smielecka, Myra Glajchen, Shelly Adler, Christina Puchalski, Joy Hunter, Nancy Gikaara, Jonathon Hope

Medicine Faculty Publications

Background:

Spiritual distress is prevalent in advanced disease, but often neglected, resulting in unnecessary suffering. Evidence to inform spiritual care practices in palliative care is limited.

Aim:

To explore spiritual care needs, experiences, preferences and research priorities in an international sample of patients with life-limiting disease and family caregivers.

Design:

Focus group study.

Setting/participants:

Separate patient and caregiver focus groups were conducted at 11 sites in South Africa, Kenya, South Korea, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Finland and Poland. Discussions were transcribed, translated into English and analysed thematically.

Results:

A total of 74 patients participated: median age …

Explaining The Absence Of Surgical Procedure Regulation, Jonathan J. Darrow

Cornell Journal of Law and Public Policy

Systematic evaluation of both existing and innovative surgical procedures is needed to make important safety and efficacy data available to surgeons, facilitating optimal treatment decisions. High quality risk-benefit data is also essential if the healthcare system is to honor its obligation to inform patients of relevant benefits and risks prior to obtaining their consent to treatment.

Yet for a variety of reasons, surgical procedures are not subject to direct regulation. As a result, surgeons consulting the available literature may find it inadequate to answer fundamental questions about optimal treatment choices. This failure of information increases the chance that, for years …

Sorting Permutations: Games, Genomes, And Cycles, K. L. M. Adamyk, E. Holmes, G. R. Mayfield, D. J. Moritz, M. Scheepers, B. E. Tenner, H. C. Wauck

Mathematics Faculty Publications and Presentations

Permutation sorting, one of the fundamental steps in pre-processing data for the efficient application of other algorithms, has a long history in mathematical research literature and has numerous applications. Two special-purpose sorting operations are considered in this paper: context directed swap, abbreviated cds, and context directed reversal, abbreviated cdr. These are special cases of sorting operations that were studied in prior work on permutation sorting. Moreover, cds and cdr have been postulated to model molecular sorting events that occur in the genome maintenance program of certain species of single-celled organisms called ciliates.

This paper investigates mathematical aspects of …

Redefining "Medical Care", Lauren R. Roth

Cornell Journal of Law and Public Policy

President Donald J. Trump has said he will repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and replace it with health savings accounts (HSAs). Conservatives have long preferred individual accounts to meet social welfare needs instead of more traditional entitlement programs. The types of "medical care" that can be reimbursed through an HSA are listed in § 213(d) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) and include expenses "for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or for the purpose of affecting any structure or function of the body."

In spite of the broad language, regulations and court interpretations have narrowed …

Trial By Numbers, Rebecca K. Helm, Valerie P. Hans, Valerie F. Reyna

Cornell Journal of Law and Public Policy

Legal cases often require jurors to use numerical information. They may need to evaluate the meaning of specific numbers, such as the probability of match between a suspect and a DNA sample, or they may need to arrive at a sound numerical judgment, such as a money damage award. Thus, it is important to know how jurors understand numerical information, and what steps can be taken to increase juror comprehension and appropriate application of numerical evidence. In this Article, we examine two types of juror decisions involving numbers--decisions in which jurors must convert numbers into meaning (such as by understanding …
