Kestle, John R. W. | Assessing the validity of the endoscopic shunt insertion trial: did surgical experience affect the results? | Object. Most surgical procedures are associated with a learning curve in which the success rate is lower early in the experience before mistakes have been identified and modifications made to the procedure. Negative results obtained early in a trial's learning curve may be a matter of timing rather ... | Endoscopic shunt insertion; Ventriculoperitoneal shunt; Pediatric neurosurgery; Surgical experience | 2004-01-01 |

Smith, Ken R. | The association between adult mortality risk and family history of longevity: the moderating effects of socioeconomic status | Studies consistently show that increasing levels of socioeconomic status (SES) and having a familial history of longevity reduce the risk of mortality. But do these two variables interact, such that individuals with lower levels of SES, for example, may experience an attenuated longevity penalty by ... | 2014-01-01 | |
