AbstractHair loss is one of the common complaints encountered in a cosmetic practice. Evaluating a patient with hair loss requires a thorough understanding of the various causes of hair loss and practical knowledge in hair cosmetics and hair styling procedures. A systematic approach in hair loss evaluation helps the treating physician in arriving at a diagnosis. Various bedside tests and advent of trichoscopy has empowered the physician in arriving at a diagnosis. This article aims to provide the physician a systematic approach in evaluating a patient with hair loss.

Inspired by the shape and helical pattern of perforations on Cholla skeleton, structural responses of cylindrical sections with multiple perforations have been studied. The common approach to define a helix however, has not been adopted to define the helix lines on the cylindrical sections. This paper proposed a systematic approach to be followed by researchers, for the generation of perforations in multiple helices pattern on surface of cylindrical section. Independent parameters were identified to offer the designers’ ability in taking control when making decision on the desired pattern of perforation along the generated helices covering the surface of the cylindrical section. Rules were imposed to standardize the process and to avoid duplications of similar models under different parameter combinations. Models with perforations along a single helix line were recommended to be generated for consideration prior to those with multiple helices. In this way, understanding the effect of factors found in single helix model can be obtained prior to the examination of the effects of much more complex factors in multiple helices.

Peripheral nerve is an important and historical part of neurosurgery. It also has been a major focus of both the written and oral examinations administered by the American Board of Neurological Surgeons (ABNS). The Oral Board candidate must be prepared for potentially one to several questions on some of the common disorders of the peripheral nervous system. In this chapter, a systematic approach to peripheral nerve problems is presented. Common areas that might be examined include tumors, injuries, inflammatory conditions, entrapments, and neuropathic pain. Five cases are illustrated, and “pearls” are provided. At the conclusion of the chapter are nine photographs representing problems the Oral Board candidate should be able to identify and answer.

The Trusted Doctor: Medical Ethics and Professionalism rejects the well-entrenched views of medical ethics as everyday ethics or common morality applied to medicine. This chapter lays the foundation for the original account of medical ethics that follows in the book’s succeeding chapters. By presenting vivid examples and general arguments the author demonstrates ways in which the ethics of medicine is distinct and different from common morality. The chapter discusses the most popular common morality views, namely, the four principles approach expounded by Tom Beauchamp and James Childress in Principles of Biomedical Ethics and the ten rules approach presented by Bernard Gert, Charles Culver, and K. Danner Clouser in Bioethics: A Systematic Approach by presenting arguments that challenge their applicability to medical practice. A chart identifies some stark differences between the common morality approach and good medical practice and shows how everyday ethics is incompatible with medical professionalism.

We have, in this paper, highlighted some of the common problems in amino acid analysis in our experience and listed the possible causes for increases in specific amino acids in urine—together with guidance on appropriate follow-up investigations.

ABSTRACT The trainee in difficulty is someone who is either marginal or at risk of failing in his or her clinical performance. Dealing effectively with these learners can pose problems even for seasoned medical educators. This article discusses some of the common mistakes made by educators in dealing with the trainee in difficulty and offers suggestions for a systematic approach. Further, the roles of faculty, including the program director and associate dean’s office, and some of the legal issues are described.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to reflect on hospitality management education from a “practice epistemology” and discuss how a connecting of savoir (theoretical knowledge or “knowing”), savoir-faire (knowing how to do tasks, i.e. task-related skills) and savoir-être (knowing how to be, i.e. behavior) can develop into practical knowledge. Design/methodology/approach – The purpose of the paper is achieved through novel reading of the literature on practical knowledge and formativeness applied to a higher education context. Findings – The paper suggests that it is only through the creation of context that a sensation of practicing for students can be provided, which ultimately may lead to practical knowledge. Context must be actively created through situations that invite participation to explore the logic of practice. Therefore, savoir should be treated as “organizing knowing” and savoir-faire and savoir-être as “practicing knowing” to do and to be, respectively. The terms savoir, savoir-faire and savoir-être were chosen for this paper, as they were the common reference terms used in hospitality (master-) apprenticeship systems in Europe. Originality/value – The value of the paper is a personal reflection on a practice epistemology for hospitality management education from the perspective of two academic faculty members who have been practitioners in the hospitality industry and who regularly teach hospitality executives.

Orbital floor fractures are the most commonly encountered traumatic fractures in the facial skeleton. Mydriasis that is detected during orbital floor fracture reconstruction may cause significant distress to surgeons, as it may be associated with sinister events such as visual loss. It is not an uncommon problem; previous studies have shown the incidence of mydriasis to be 2.1%. The combination of careful preoperative evaluation and planning, as well as specific intraoperative investigations when mydriasis is encountered, can be immensely valuable in allaying surgeons’ anxiety during orbital floor fracture reconstruction. In this review article, the authors discuss the common causes of mydriasis and present a novel systematic approach to its diagnostic evaluation devised by our unit that has been successfully implemented since 2008.

Although the law relating to common mistake has engendered a plethora of conundrums, many problem areas have in fact been well-traversed in the literature. The present article does not seek to re-cover such welltrodden ground, but attempts, instead, to suggest a different and more systematic approach that would effect a merger of the common law and equitable branches of common mistake into one coherent, doctrine.
