Finding out about filling-in: A guide to perceptual completion for visual science and the philosophy of perception
Authors: Luiz Pessoa, Evan Thompson, Alva Noë
Journal: Behavioral and Brain Sciences (1998)

In visual science the term filling-in is used in different ways, which often leads to confusion. This target article presents a taxonomy of perceptual completion phenomena to organize and clarify theoretical and empirical discussion. Examples of boundary completion (illusory contours) and featural completion (color, brightness, motion, texture, and depth) are examined, and single-cell studies relevant to filling-in are reviewed and assessed. Filling-in issues must be understood in relation to theoretical issues about neural–perceptual isomorphism and linking propositions. Six main conclusions are drawn: (1) visual filling-in comprises a multitude of different perceptual completion phenomena; (2) certain forms of visual completion seem to involve spatially propagating neural activity (neural filling-in) and so, contrary to Dennett's (1991; 1992) recent discussion of filling-in, cannot be described as results of the brain's “ignoring an absence” or “jumping to a conclusion”; (3) in certain cases perceptual completion seems to have measurable effects that depend on neural signals representing a presence rather than ignoring an absence; (4) neural filling-in does not imply either “analytic isomorphism” or “Cartesian materialism,” and thus the notion of the bridge locus – a particular neural stage that forms the immediate substrate of perceptual experience – is problematic and should be abandoned; (5) to reject the representational conception of vision in favor of an “enactive” or “animate” conception reduces the importance of filling-in as a theoretical category in the explanation of vision; and (6) the evaluation of perceptual content should not be determined by “subpersonal” considerations about internal processing, but rather by considerations about the task of vision at the level of the animal or person interacting with the world.

However, we have encountered several incidences of fatal digitalis toxicity in patients receiving acute digitalization. This study reviews consecutively 198 patients with cardiovascular disease and 298 patients without cardiovascular disease, over age of 40, undergoing major surgery in a 12-month period. Seventy-seven of the 198 patients with cardiovascular disease required long-term digitalization. Twelve of the 77 patients died, with a mortality rate of 15.6%. These deaths were not related to digitalis toxicity. In contrast, 22 of 39 digitalized patients with and without cardiovascular disease died (mortality rate, 56%). Eleven... This content is PDF only.

In addition, we believe that the 30-day mandatory waiting period is excessive and should be shortened considerably or eliminated -a change that could also address the problem of failed transfer of the completed federal document to the delivery unit.Although the principles behind the Medicaid policy remain relevant, it is in dire need of modification.Measures to promote informed decision making regarding sterilization, rather than stringent and restrictive regulations, can simultaneously protect vulnerable populations and allow women to reduce their risk of unintended pregnancy.Thus, revisiting and amending sterilization policy represents an opportunity to honor women's reproductive autonomy, create more equitable access to sterilization, save a substantial amount of health care dollars, and prevent unintended pregnancy.
Leader Dominic Stirling
Authors: K C Rankin
Journal: BMJ (2003)

Medical missionary and former health minister Tanzania (b 1906; q the London Hospital 1929; FRCS (hon)), d 7 February 2003.

Leader Dominic Stirling arrived in what was then Tanganyika in 1935 as a medical missionary. After a short period working in Masasi he moved to a more remote area to design and build his first hospital. He dealt with surgical emergencies of all types and designed an operation for elephantiasis of the scrotum. After 14 years he moved to another area, where he again designed and built a hospital, which is still in use today. He was the first doctor in Tanzania to start nurse training. His final move was to the slopes of Kilimanjaro, where he supervised the building of yet another hospital. He was an MP from before independence in 1961 until 1983, and at the age of 70 he became Tanzania's minister of health for six years. He leaves his second wife, Annah Chisonga.
A New ECG Sign of Proximal LAD Occlusion

To the Editor: Recognition of characteristic changes in an electrocardiogram (ECG) that are associated with acute occlusion of a coronary artery guides decisions regarding immediate reperfusion therapy.1–3 Working from our primary database of percutaneous coronary interventions, which includes records of the ambulance, or admission, ECG (performed on first medical contact with the patient), the preprocedural ECG, and the coronary angiogram, we describe a new ECG pattern without ST-segment elevation that signifies occlusion of the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). Instead of the signature ST-segment elevation, the ST segment showed a 1- to 3-mm upsloping ST-segment depression at . . .
Present-Day Requirements for State Hospitals Joining the Community
Authors: F. Lewis Bartlett
Journal: New England Journal of Medicine (1967)

THE onrush of the new community psychiatry makes it essential to give renewed consideration to the predicament of state hospitals. Not only do they continue to suffer from social isolation but also a destructive rift exists between them and community psychiatric facilities. Recently, Dr. Walter E. Barton1 described this aspect as follows:State-operated institutions are not integrated with community resources. Community-operated facilities seldom develop closer relationships with mental hospitals. In reality, no treatment continuum exists.Furthermore, responsible state-hospital men, conscious of the disparity between their responsibilities and resources, apprehensively anticipate further depletion of their competent staff members and increased demands . . .

Observations on the Carotid Sinus Reflex and Angina Pectoris
Authors: A. STONE FREEDBERG, JOSEPH E. F. RISEMAN
Journal: Circulation (1953)

The effect of carotid sinus pressure on the duration and character of attacks of angina pectoris induced by exercise under controlled conditions has been studied in 13 patients. Observations are presented which are consistent with the hypothesis that stimulation of the carotid sinus induces relief of cardiac pain by interruption of sympathetic reflex arcs or sensory pathways. The usefulness of carotid sinus pressure as a diagnostic test and a therapeutic measure in angina pectoris is discussed.
Trends in admissions and deaths in English NHS hospitals

ANEURYSM OF THE RADIAL ARTERY
Authors: James A Cahill
Journal: JAMA (1924)

D. S. T., a colored man, aged 27, married, employed as a laundry helper at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, while in pursuit of his usual occupation in the laundry, was sewing rags, which were heavy and required a large caliber needle, about 3 inches long and one-fourth inch wide. While sewing, he jammed his left wrist just above the joint and on the radial side of the flexor surface with this needle. It bled profusely and he was sent to the emergency hospital, where he was treated, and antitetanic serum was given. He was discharged from the hospital, but noticed that his arm and wrist began to swell and that a small lump was forming just above the wrist joint. He first noticed this small swelling nine days after the injury. It began to grow larger and caused him some pain and tingling in the fingers. In a
His Bundle Electrogram in Bundle-Branch Block
Authors: N. RANGANATHAN, R. DHURANDHAR, J. H. PHILLIPS, E. D. WIGLE
Journal: Circulation (1972)

Because a great majority of patients with chronic complete heart block have bilateral bundle-branch lesions, it becomes important to recognize earlier degrees of bilateral bundle-branch block. The H-V interval in the His bundle electrogram during unilateral bundle-branch block reflects the conduction primarily through the contralateral bundle branch, and thus the His bundle electrogram in bundle-branch block (BBB) provides information regarding the functional status of the contralateral bundle branch in addition to helping in the localization of defects elsewhere in the conduction system. His bundle electrograms were obtained in 20 patients with BBB and 13 patients without BBB. The following results were obtained from this study: (1) Prolonged P-R interval in the absence of BBB indicated delayed conduction through the A-V node. (2) Prolonged P-R interval in the presence of BBB indicated delayed conduction through the contralateral bundle branch or through the A-V node, or both. (3) Delayed conduction through the contralateral bundle branch in BBB occurred in the presence of a normal P-R interval and could only be detected by demonstrating a prolonged H-V time in the His recording. (4) In alternating BBB the His recording clearly demonstrated that the changing P-R interval was related to varying conduction through the bundle branches. (5) Finally, it has been demonstrated that the Wenckebach (Mobitz type I) type of decremental conduction can occur in the bundle branches or Purkinje system as well as in the A-V node. It is concluded that His bundle electrograms provide valuable information concerning the nature and management of conduction disturbances in patients with bundle-branch disease.
Adaptation of iron transport and metabolism to acute high-altitude hypoxia in mountaineers

Journal: Hepatology (2013)

Human iron homeostasis is regulated by intestinal iron transport, hepatic hepcidin release, and signals from pathways that consume or supply iron. The aim of this study was to characterize the adaptation of iron homeostasis under hypoxia in mountaineers at the levels of (1) hepatic hepcidin release, (2) intestinal iron transport, and (3) systemic inflammatory and erythropoietic responses. Twenty-five healthy mountaineers were studied. Blood samples and duodenal biopsies were taken at baseline of 446 m as well as on day 2 (MG2) and 4 (MG4) after rapid ascent to 4559 m. Divalent metal-ion transporter 1 (DMT-1), ferroportin 1 (FP-1) messenger RNA (mRNA), and protein expression were analyzed in biopsy specimens by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry. Serum hepcidin levels were analyzed by mass spectrometry. Serum iron, ferritin, transferrin, interleukin (IL)-6, and C-reactive protein (CRP) were quantified by standard techniques. Serum erythropoietin and growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Under hypoxia, erythropoietin peaked at MG2 (P < 0.001) paralleled by increased GDF15 on MG2 (P < 0.001). Serum iron and ferritin levels declined rapidly on MG2 and MG4 (P < 0.001). Duodenal DMT-1 and FP-1 mRNA expression increased up to 10-fold from baseline on MG2 and MG4 (P < 0.001). Plasma CRP increased on MG2 and MG4, while IL-6 only increased on MG2 (P < 0.001). Serum hepcidin levels decreased at high altitude on MG2 and MG4 (P < 0.001).This study in healthy volunteers showed that under hypoxemic conditions hepcidin is repressed and duodenal iron transport is rapidly up-regulated. These changes may increase dietary iron uptake and allow release of stored iron to ensure a sufficient iron supply for hypoxia-induced compensatory erythropoiesis.

Commentary: What about the ethics?
Authors: G. B Winter
Journal: BMJ (1996)

groups.Xylitol may still have some effect on the number of pneumococci growing in the nasopharynx, which we were not able to estimate in this study.Being a polyol, xylitol is slowly absorbed by the gut wall and may cause osmotic diarrhoea when ingested in large amounts.Children can tolerate daily doses up to 45 g of xylitol without gastrointestinal symptoms.'4Two children in our trial stopped using xylitol because of complaints of diarrhoea.Yet the recorded number of episodes of diarrhoea and the mean duration of diarrhoea were similar in both groups.The use of xylitol in the prevention of dental caries is widely accepted in Scandinavia.There are day care nurseries where chewing gums containing xylitol are given regularly after each meal.We thus did not change the current Finnish habits of using xylitol sweets in our trial.The chewing gum was given for only two months and always immediately after a meal or a snack.We found no difference in dental caries between the treatment groups four months after our trial.A large 40 month follow up trial showed that sucrose chewing gum increases the risk of dental caries only marginally.'5The episodes of acute otitis media were diagnosed by several doctors who used pneumatic otoscopy in diagnosis.The accuracy of pneumatic otoscopy in detecting middle ear effusion in a child with respiratory symptoms has been found to be over 80%.16 Inaccuracy in diagnosis would cause estimates of the efficacy of xylitol in our trial to be too low.The mean age of 5 years of the children in our study was older than that of most patients with acute otitis media as the peak incidence occurs at the age of 6-15 months.'7 18The children participating in our trial had to be able to chew gum without swallowing it, which resulted in the selection of older children.Most of the children had previously had several episodes of acute otitis media and many had undergone adenoidectomies.Thus, our estimate of the efficacy of xylitol may be too optimistic and not directly applicable to unselected series of younger children.Respiratory infections, especially acute otitis media, in children are the main reason for the use of oral antimicrobials.The emergence of multidrug resistant strains of S pneumoniae substantiates the need for new approaches in the prevention of bacterial infections.We have been able to show that xylitol, a well tolerated food additive, is an effective approach.We thank Huhtamaki-Leaf for providing the chewing gums.
Effect of Fasting on Bilirubin Metabolism
Authors: Ronald Gronwall, Charles E. Cornelius
Journal: New England Journal of Medicine (1970)

PLASMA unconjugated bilirubin (UCB) levels increase within the first two days of restricted dietary intake or fasting. As concluded by Felsher, Rickard and Redeker in this issue of the Journal, elevation of plasma UCB during a markedly reduced caloric intake is a "normal" response. Barrett1 also reported approximately twofold increases in plasma total bilirubin levels of normal subjects during a two-day fast. We have observed a threefold increase in the mean plasma bilirubin level for a group of 14 male volunteers after five days of less than 550 K calories per day in a thermally stressful environment.Reduced dietary . . .
