Romans 1: Notes and Reflections
No full textThe book of Romans can be difficult to understand, and it is used more than any other biblical book to challenge LDS doctrine. “When we understand Romans, it is obvious that not only need we not fear having others discuss Paul’s teachings, but we can use those very teachings to teach the truthfulness of the gospel understood through latter-day revelation.”
In commenting on Romans 1 verse by verse, author James E. Faulconer touches on such topics as faith, holiness, obedience, service to Christ, personal conversion and repentance, and becoming true saints. Romans 1: Notes and Reflections can be a valuable tool for those who are studying the book of Romans or looking for new ways to study other scripture.https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/mi/1067/thumbnail.jp

An eight-step method for assessing diagnostic data quality in practice: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as an exemplar
No full textBackground Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity. Its management is shifting from the secondary to the primary care setting. The quality of data is known to vary between practices, and individual practices need to be able to assess their data quality.
Objectives To measure the quality of diagnostic data in COPD.
Subjects 10 975 patients registered with a computerized general practice in the south of England, and 190 patients likely to have COPD.
Methods An eight-step method was developed: (1) research the expected prevalence of the diagnosis and define audit criteria; (2) find out how the diagnosis might be coded – look at the terminology and the codes presented by the computer interface; (3) examine the characteristics of the practice population; (4) calculate the prevalence and infer its reliability; (5) investigate the completeness; (6) accuracy; (7) currency and consistency; and (8) calculate sensitivity and positive predictive value of the data.
Results The prevalence of COPD in the literature ranges between 3% and 10%. The coding for bronchitis and COPD is complex and it is easy to select an incorrect code. The test population is younger but of similar social class to the national average. The prevalence of COPD in this study was 1.3%. The data were incomplete and some were inaccurate; patients with COPD had to be identified from additional searches. The sensitivity of the use of the diagnostic code was 79%, and the positive predictive value 75.3%.
Conclusions The method provides a tool to help practices and localities assess their diagnostic data quality

No full textThresholds for runoff generation in ephemeral streams with varying morphology in the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, USA
No full textIn ephemeral streams, infrequent surface flow can be the main source of water that sustains plants throughout long dry periods. The objectives of this research are to: (1) explore seasonality of rainfall runoff in different channel types and (2) examine how runoff thresholds vary by channel type. The study area was two watersheds with areas of 188 km2 and 323 km2 on the Yuma Proving Grounds (YPG) in the Sonoran Desert near Yuma, Arizona. Eight tipping bucket rain gauges were installed to measure precipitation. Runoff was measured with 18 pressure transducers in five different channel types with different channel morphologies and contributing areas ranging from 0.002 km2 to 225 km2. Over approximately two years there were 11 to 48 rain events at the different rain gauges. Stream types with bedrock channels and small watershed areas between 0.005 km2 and 0.015 km2 produced runoff when the peak 60-minute precipitation intensity (I60) exceeded 4-6 mm hr -1. At these sites, 17-25 percent of the rain storms generated runoff. I60 values of 5-9 mm hr-1 produced runoff in streams with contributing areas of 0.021-0.061 km2 on mid-Pleistocene piedmont surfaces covered by desert pavement. At these sites, 31-36 percent of rain events produced runoff. Streams incised into bedrock with some alluvium fill produced runoff at larger I60's of 13-18 mm hr-1. Contributing areas for these sites were 0.8 km2 to 2.2 km2, and up to 10 percent of precipitation events at these sites produced flow. Precipitation thresholds for runoff generation in streams with contributing areas >3 km 2 were not clearly defined due to the influences of variable precipitation in upstream tributaries and transmission losses of streamflow through channel bed alluvium. For watersheds with <3km2, rain intensity thresholds increased with the log of catchment area, and as a result flow frequency tended to decrease with increasing catchment area
Obstetric complications on deployed operations: a guide for the military surgeon.
No full textModern military general surgeons tend to train and then practice in 'conventional' surgical specialties in their home nation; however, the reality of deployed surgical practice, either in a combat zone or on a humanitarian mission, is that they are likely to have to manage patients with a broad range of ages, conditions and pathologies. Obstetric complications of war injury include injury to the uterus and fetus as well as the mother and both placental abruption and uterine rupture are complications that military surgeons may have little experience of recognising and managing. On humanitarian deployments, fetomaternal complications are a common reason for surgical intervention. We report a recent patient's story to highlight the obstetric training needs of military surgeons

Practice preferences using resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) for traumatic injury before and after the 2017 EndoVascular and Hybrid Trauma and Bleeding Management Symposium.
No full textBackground: Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a technique to aid in resuscitative efforts for hemorrhagic shock. The use of REBOA is not yet commonplace and there is little understanding of real-world practice patterns. The Endovascular and Hybrid Trauma and Bleeding Management Symposium is a large international conference specifically developed to discuss multidisciplinary, endovascular and hybrid approaches to hemorrhage management. We sought to evaluate provider opinions and practice patterns using REBOA for traumatic vascular injury before and after attending this conference.
Methods: A detailed survey was completed by a variety of providers before and after the conference. The survey was composed of demographic information, and focused on practice patterns and opinions regarding the implementation of REBOA. 
Results: We received 186 survey responses (99 pre, 87 post). There was increased perception of feasibility for REBOA in all settings, with the largest increase for pre-hospital and austere military environments (53.5% pre, 67.8% post and 59.6% pre, 73.6% post respectively). While there was no consensus on tolerable occlusion times and indications for utilization, most participants felt that partial REBOA was the most viable technique for prolonging the benefits of REBOA, and more participants came to this conclusion after attending the conference (62.2% pre, 81.6% post, p=0.006).
Conclusions: REBOA is an exciting and important advancement in the management of life threatening hemorrhage, however its implementation has not been codified and there is much variation in practitioners’ understanding of its use. Continued investigation is needed to determine the appropriate indications, methods, and practical limitations of REBOA as a new hemorrhage management paradigm.</jats:p
