Epitaxial untwinned SrRuO3 thin films were grown on (110)-oriented DyScO3 substrates by molecular-beam epitaxy. We report an exceptional sample with a residual resistivity ratio (RRR), ρ [300 K]/ρ [4 K] of 205 and a ferromagnetic Curie temperature, TC, of 168.3 K. We compare the properties of this sample to other SrRuO3 films grown on DyScO3(110) with RRRs ranging from 8.8 to 205, and also compare it to the best reported bulk single crystal of SrRuO3. We determine that SrRuO3 thin films grown on DyScO3(110) have an enhanced TC as long as the RRR of the thin film is above a minimum electrical quality threshold. This RRR threshold is about 20 for SrRuO3. Films with lower RRR exhibit TCs that are significantly depressed from the intrinsic strain-enhanced value.

Main text
A collapsed star type S thermocouple intercomparison was performed over the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) temperature range from 0 °C to 1100 °C. This was an Inter-American Metrology System (SIM) regional intercomparison piloted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Eleven laboratories (including NIST) participated in the intercomparison. Twenty-one type S thermocouples were constructed and calibrated at NIST, of which ten served as transfer standards. The thermocouples were identified as Cut 1 through Cut 21. Each thermocouple was calibrated by the metal fixed-point method at the freezing points of Zn, Al, Ag, and Au. The 21 calibrations were ultimately used to determine the reference values (RV) for the intercomparison. Subsequently the artifacts were calibrated at a participating laboratory by comparison with a local standard and/or by fixed-point method. Subsequently they were returned to the pilot laboratory where they were remeasured at the freezing point of silver (for purposes of determining a transfer uncertainty). Although thermocouples are not a standard interpolating instrument on the ITS-90, they are proposed as an approximation technique and are a widely used thermometer; so, it is useful to look at the measurement capabilities involved in their calibration.

Geometric aspects of quantization and relationship to integrability
Authors: Bracken Paul 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It is the case that quantum mechanics has a deep geometric structure and can be presented accordingly. Quantum mechanics is to a certain degree foreshadowed by the geometry inherent in the geometric structure of classical mechanics. The purpose here is to present some new results and proofs which impact the mathematical structure of quantum mechanics. The relationship between integrability and quantum physics is investigated in terms of geometric ideas and structures. Two physical examples are drawn from these mathematical ideas which directly relate to physics. An introduction as to how these ideas can be extended to infinite degrees of freedom is also described.

Abstract
In this letter, we have proposed a new model for quantum control of atom photon entanglement in a single layer graphene via von Neumann reduced entropy of entanglement. We consider the effect of terahertz laser field intensity on the degree of entanglement (DEM) in the resonance and off-resonance condition of the applied fields. We also investigate the spatially dependent of the DEM when two applied light becomes standing wave pattern in x and y directions. Our results show that in different parametric conditions, the population of the different states can be controlled and this leads to modifying the DEM of the system.
Home-care services in France
Authors: Henrard Jean-Claude , Ankri, Joel , Isnard Marie-Claude 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
For nearly 30 years, politicians have all been proclaiming the importance of maintaining elderly people in their own homes, by quoting from numerous official reports produced by experts and important civil servants. Behind this happy unanimity, what are the aims, implicit or not, of maintien omicile, and what means are available to achieve them? How do they fit in with the social and health services and with the support given by the person’s family, which is rarely mentioned? Does the central plan of action-services for home help and for help with personal care-answer the needs of the population it serves? In an attempt to answer these questions, this chapter will examine the historical development of the maintien a domicile of elderly people, the existing system and its relation to other measures, and the fragmentary data available on its operation.
Home-care provision and allocation
Authors: Jamieson Anne 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Policies for older people in most countries emphasize the need to enable them to remain at home for as long as possible, and this is stressed as an important aim in relation to home-care services. However, there is considerable cross-national variation and a great deal of ambiguity on questions concerning the role of the state, the relation between home care and various forms of institutional care, and the expected cost implications. By reviewing espoused policy aims across several countries, it is possible to identify a range of possibilities, which are first itemized.
Getting help
Authors: Wilson Andrew 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In a recent MORI poll, 13% of men could correctly identify the location of their prostate gland while 16% of women knew where it was (MORI 1995). Men use their GPs less than women and are also more willing to make do with locums and unfamiliar partners. GP impact on men’s lifestyles is limited. They are absent from preventive and counselling settings and even when things are bad, need strong pressure from partners to seek medical help. Men engage in riskier health practices than females but feel more in control of their health. It all sounds hopeless but this chapter describes some innovative developments in the care of men’s health. General practice has been flexible and effective in its response to women’s health—so why not men’s health next?
Membranous lupus glomerulonephritis
Authors: Korbet Stephen M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Membranous glomerulonephritis is defined morphologically by the presence of widespread subepithelial immune deposits and the reactive changes observed as the deposits are incorporated into the glomerular basal lamina. Although its etiology is unknown (idiopathic) in the majority of cases, a secondary cause can be identified in up to 42 per cent of patients.Systemic lupus erythematosus is one the most common forms of secondary membranous glomerulonephrits, and it is identified in up to 32 per cent of these patients.
Cultural and historical aspects of male sexual assault
Authors: Jones Ivor H 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The few existing historical accounts of sexual assault on males are insufficient to form a reliable picture of attitudes and behaviours in earlier epochs but give some insight into contemporary attitudes of key cultures – Greco-Roman, medieval European, post-seventeenth century Europe can be found, with fleeting references to exotic cultures. Hints of behaviour in prehistory could come, by analogy, from contemporary hunter–gatherer groups, although search of Australian Aboriginal literature has not produced much useful material. By adopting a socio-biological rather than an historical paradigm, and by examining not attitudes but behaviour seen in a ethnological context, hypotheses relevant to male rape can be examined – specifically, the proposition that, among primates, male mounting of the male is more a function of dominant-subordinate relationships than of their sexual relationships – and this theme appears to be congruent with many of the historical data. The evidence suggests that sexual assault of one male by another seems to be used for non-sexual, social purposes – usually control of one individual by another.
Mild Head Injury a guide to management
Authors: Wrightson Philip , Gronwall Dorothy 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This is a practical guide to the management of mild head injury, or concussion. It is now generally accepted that post-concussion syndrome has an organic basis and this has resulted in the emergence of clinics, staffed by interdisciplinary teams, dedicated to addressing the problem. After a short account of the history of thinking on mild head injury and its epidemiology, a section on pathology provides the background to the clinical picture. The coverage then moves on to look at the acute stage and management in the emergency department, followed by a description of the clinical features of the persisting symptoms. There are clear descriptions of the measurements, investigations and examinations to be completed. The authors then move on to look at the neurological, cognitive-behavioural and psychiatric aspects of management and treatment. Specific cases are discussed, including the special considerations when dealing with children, the elderly, executives and sportspeople. At the end of the book there are copies of information sheets and booklets for patients. Philip Wrightson and Dorothy Gronwall are pioneers in this field. They were the first to define test procedures to measure the changes following concussion, and to establish a clinic for those with persisting problems.
Upper arm arteriovenous fistulas
Authors: Nicholson A1ichael L , Polo Jose R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Vascular access surgeons are being referred an increasing number of patients with either inadequate forearm veins or previous failed radiocephalic arterio¬venous fistulas (AVFs). In this situation the choice for secondary vascular access lies between a prosthetic graft AVF or the creation of an upper arm fistula using autogenous vessels. Prosthetic grafts have been favoured more in the USA but the various alternative autogenous elbow fistulas have proved more popular in European countries. It is difficult to make a direct comparison between these two general approaches as there are a number of different alternatives in each case and there is very little, if any, randomized controlled trial data on which to base decision making. Prosthetic grafts can be needled early and easily but the avail¬ able uncontrolled historical data suggest that in general they have higher rates of thrombosis and infection and the long-term patency rates are not as good as autogenous AVFs. Moreover, prosthetic graft materials are expensive.
Percutaneous treatment of arteriovenous access dysfunction
Authors: Turmel-Rodrigues Luc , Raynaud Alain , Bourquelot Pierre 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Whereas more than 70% of American hemodialyzed patients with arteriovenous access undergo treatment via a prosthetic graft, and very few via a native fistula, the proportions are more or less the opposite in Europe since more than 70% of patients have a native fistula. The American situation is usually explained by a higher proportion of diabetics (33% compared to % in Europe) and Blacks (40% versus 1%), but the surgical literature also shows opposing schools of thought. American radiologists therefore treat many stenoses and thromboses of grafts but not very many native fistulae. European radiologists deal with failing grafts as often as with native veins because the less numerous grafts dearly have higher rates of complication.
Introduction to risk calculation in genetic counseling
Authors: Young Ian D 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Genetic counselling is widely accepted as an integral part of the management of every patient with an inherited disorder, and the rapid developments in human and medical genetics have reinforced the importance of competency in risk calculation. Fully updated since the first edition (1991) this book provides a simple introduction for risk calculation for genetics counselling,, describing how risks can easily be estimated or calculated for most counselling situations. Easy-to-use, with worked examples, this book covers all patterns of inheritance. In this second edition, Introduction to Risk Calculation for Genetic Counselling now includes a chapter on cancer genetics, and there are also new sections on anticipation, gonadal mosaicism, the potential use of susceptibility loci, three-way chromosome translocations and meiotic drive. Reviews of the first edition: 'This is a good book' American Journal of Human Genetics 'I would recommend this book to any clinicians involved in aspects of genetic counselling' Genetical Research Introduction to Risk calculation for Genetic Counselling.. 'is simple, clear and accurate.' 'There is no doubt that this will be a popular book.' Journal of Medical Genetics 'Introduction to risk calculation in genetic counselling more than fulfills its aim to be a "user-friendly introduction to risk calculation.... For those involved in the delivery of genetic counselling services." It is clear in style, with worked example, and all within 150 pages.' BMJ 'This new text is to be welcomed as it is readily accessible to the majority of clinicians and is, in essence, a book that should be in the "working bookshelf"!' Neuromuscular Disorders
Sites of potentially dangerous anastomosis between cranial arteries
Authors: Byrne J V 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Collateral pathways between different arterial territories of the head and neck are potential routes for the inadvertent spread of materials during transarterial procedures. Their existence reflects the rich vascularity of the face and upper neck—a blood supply that is needed to supply the variety of organs housed in this part of the body, organs which form part of the respiratory, digestive, and endocrine systems, as well as the special senses and a highly developed muscular system. Inadvertent spread of embolic agents may damage the peripheral nerves that support these organs. The central nervous system is also at risk because amongst these arterial networks there exist anastomoses between the extracranial and intracranial arteries with the potential to allow the unintentioned spread of embolic materials.
The role of interventional neuroradiology in the treatment of intrinsic tumours of the neuroaxis
Authors: Ericson K 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The traditional treatment modalities for intrinsic brain tumours are surgical resection and conventional irradiation therapy. However, these methods have not been very successful and treatments using various forms of chemotherapeutic agent have been proposed. In the majority of patients chemotherapy has been performed using a systemically administered agent. Such an approach has limited the amount of drug that can be given because of side-effects; intra-arterial drug delivery has there- fore been proposed in the expectation of being able to increase the local dose of chemotherapy agent.
Acute non-haemorrhagic stroke
Authors: Pendlebury S T , Rothwell P M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Stroke is the third most common cause of death in most developed countries (Bonita 1992) and affects about 8 million people worldwide each year. The majority (approximately 80%) of acute strokes are ischaemic caused in most cases by thrombotic or embolic occlusion of a cerebral artery (Bamford et al. 1988). About 10 per cent of all patients with acute strokes will die within 30 days of stroke onset (Bamford et al. 1990). Of those who survive the acute event, around 50 per cent will still be disabled after 6 months (Wade 1988). Stroke can occur at any age, but it is predominantly a disease of older people; half of all strokes occur in people over 70 years of age (Murray et al. 1997).
Prevention of ischaemic stroke: the role of angioplasty and stenting in the treatment of carotid and vertebral artery atherosclerotic disease
Authors: Clifton A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Stroke is the third most common cause of death in the United Kingdom, and atherosclerotic stenosis of the carotid artery close to the carotid bifurcation in the neck causes about 10 per cent of all strokes and transient ischaemic attacks (TIA). In patients who have had recent symptoms associated with severe carotid stenosis, the risk of recurrent stroke over the next 2 years is 20 per cent or more if patients are treated medically and is thought to be greater in patients with very severe stenosis (Dennis et al. 1990). It may be as high as 28 per cent (North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial Collaborators 1991).
Health and Illness in the Community
Authors: Taylor Ross J , Smith Blair H , Teijlingen Edwin R van 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In line with major changes in medical education over the last decade, Health and Illness in the Community stresses the importance of the community and the health of the population which play an integral part in becoming a good doctor. Through the use of case histories, summary panels, bullet lists the book looks at the context within which illness is experienced, health is sought and medicine is practised. It explains to the reader how the determinants of health and illness are much wider than the influence of medicine, or indeed healthcare. It is generally recognised that the effectiveness of clinical decisions made for each patient is increased if the doctor takes account of the patient's family and community setting. Equally the impact of these decisions is mediated through the environmental, economic and political conditions of the day. This concise multi-disciplinary textbook for medical students takes a practical approach to the subject, integrating the subjects that are being taught within the community. Taking health and normality as a starting point, the book considers the environmental and social factors which influence the health of a community, discussing the nature, distribution and determinants of illness. Students need a solid understanding of medicine in the community encompassing elements of public health, general practice, child health, geriatrics, mental health, psychology and sociology and this book provides the material required.
Hydration
Authors: Fainsinger Robin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A 65-year-old man presents with a two week history of increasing abdominal discomfort. Up until that point he had been active and in good health, although he had noted a loss of weight of approximately 3 kg over the previous two months. Investigations confirm pancreatic cancer with liver metastases. Approximately one week after diagnosis he presents to the emergency room of his local hospital with nausea and vomiting, and clinical evidence of dehydration. He is admitted with a suspected bowel obstruction for investigation. He is rehydrated with intravenous fluids. Diagnostic imaging does not show any evidence of a bowel obstruction. The patient’s symptoms settle and he is able to resume a reasonable oral intake and is discharged home.
Homelessness and Housing Policy
Authors: Marcuse Peter 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Is homelessness a housing problem? An odd question, on the face of it-of course lack of housing is a housing problem. What’s meant by the question, though, runs deeper. If the homeless are homeless because they have deep-seated personal problems, then merely providing housing may not be of much help. What would be needed are social services, medical care, group support perhaps, education and training, psychiatric care, or moral or social rehabilitation, going beyond “mere” housing.
Advocacy for the Homeless in the 1980s
Authors: Hopper Kim 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
I get worried about a society which consumes with such avidity the display of charity that it forgets to ask itself questions about its consequences, its uses and its limits. Roland Barthes, “The Iconography of Abbe Pierre,” 1957 In a striking departure from the journalistic commonplace, New York Timescolumnist Anna Quindlen asked how it was that the problems of people are so easily converted into “issues,” and our neighbors abstracted into mere tokens of larger forces and failings.
Salmon P. Chase
Authors: Niven John 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Salmon P. Chase was one of the preeminent men of 19th-century America. A majestic figure, tall and stately, Chase was a leader in the fight to end slavery, a brilliant administrator who as Lincoln’s Secretary of the Treasury provided crucial funding for a vastly expensive war, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court during the turmoil of Reconstruction, and the presiding officer of the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson. Yet he was also a complex figure. As John Niven reveals in this magisterial biography, Chase was a paradoxical blend of idealism and ambition. If he stood for the highest moral purposes—the freedom and equality of all mankind—these lofty ideas failed to mask a thirst for power so deeply ingrained in his character that it drove away many who shared his principles, but mistrusted his motives. Niven provides a vivid description of Chase’s early years—his childhood in New Hampshire (where his father’s failed business venture and early death left the family all but destitute) and in Ohio (where he was sent to live with his uncle Philander, an Episcopal bishop), his education at Dartmouth, and his early law career in Cincinnati. Niven shows how the plight of the slaves stirred this reticent young lawyer, and how Chase gradually moved to the forefront of the antislavery movement. At the same time, we see how he used his growing prominence in the antislavery movement to forward his political ambitions. Niven illuminates Chase’s long tenure as a public man. Twice elected United States Senator, twice chosen governor of Ohio (then the third most populous state in the Union), Chase organized the widespread but diffuse anti-slavery movement into a workable political organization, the Free Soil party (whose slogan “Free Soil, Free Labor, Freemen” Chase coined himself). We read of Chase’s work in Lincoln’s war cabinet and his tenure as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and we also follow his many political maneuvers, his attempts to undercut rivals, and his poorly run campaigns for presidential nominations. Niven also provides an intimate portrait of Chase’s family life—his loss of three wives and four of his six children, and the unfortunate marriage of his beautiful daughter Kate to a rich but dissolute man—and a vivid picture of life at mid-century. What emerges is a portrait of a tragic figure, whose high qualities of heart and mind and whose many achievements were ultimately tarnished by an often unseemly quest for power. It is a striking look at an eminent statesman as well as a revealing glimpse into political life in 19th-century America, all set against a background of the anti-slavery movement, the Civil War, and the turmoil of Reconstruction.
