A Critical Review of Proximal Fibular Osteotomy for Knee Osteoarthritis.

The archives of bone and joint surgery, 2019
The surgical management of Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA), so far, mainly revolved around arthroscopic procedures, arthroplasty (total: TKA and unicompartmental: UKA) or high tibial osteotomy (HTO). Recently, another minimally invasive surgical treatment of proximal fibular osteotomy (PFO) has been proposed for the management of KOA.

Actor-Critic Pretraining for Proximal Policy Optimization

CoRR
Reinforcement learning (RL) actor-critic algorithms enable autonomous learning but often require a large number of environment interactions, which limits their applicability in robotics. Leveraging expert data can reduce the number of required environment interactions.

Unique Clinicopathology of Proximal Gastric Carcinoma: A Critical Review [PDF]

Gastrointestinal Tumors, 2014
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Gastric cancer is a heterogeneous disease with respect to its molecular and histopathological features. Proximal gastric carcinoma (PGC) and distal gastric carcinoma (DGC) are two distinct clinical entities, suggesting the existence of different pathogenic mechanisms.

The proximities of asteroids and critical points of the distance function

Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2010
The proximities are important for different purposes, for example to evaluate the risk of collisions of asteroids or comets with the Solar-System planets. We describe a simple and efficient method for finding the asteroid proximities in the case of elliptical orbits with a common focus.

Critical Proximity as a Methodological Move in Techno-Anthropology

Techné: Research in Philosophy and Technology, 2015
Techno-Anthropology is a new field, operating with a broad range of methodologies and approaches. This gives rise to the question: What does it mean for Techno-Anthropological research to be critical? In this paper, we discuss this question by developing and specifying the notion of ‘critical proximity.’ Critical proximity offers an alternative to ...

Defining and measuring proximity to criticality

Over the half century since the renormalization group (RG) brought about deep understanding of critical phenomena in condensed matter physics, it has been claimed that diverse social, engineered, astrophysical, and biological systems operate close to criticality.

Reply to "A Critical Review of Proximal Fibular Osteotomy for Knee Osteoarthritis".

The archives of bone and joint surgery, 2019
Proximal fibular osteotomy is a surgical procedure that has evoked significant interest and controversy in the recent past. Vaishya et al have made a significant effort in compiling the available evidence on the topic. However, we would like to make some significant suggestions and additions to the findings in their manuscript.

Davidson's Criticism of the Proximal Theory of Meaning

Principia: An International Journal of Epistemology, 2005
According to the proximal theory of meaning, which is to be found in Quine’s early writings, meaning is determined completely by the correlation of sentences with sensory stimulations. Davidson tried to show that this theory is untenable because it leads to a radical form of skepticism.

Superconductivity in the proximity of a quantum critical point

, 2015
In a many-body fermionic system, the suppression of continuous transitions to absolute zero can result in a low temperature quantum fluid which deviates strongly from typical metallic behaviour; unconventional superconductivity can be induced by the strange metal region surrounding the zero-temperature phase transition. In this thesis we focus on three
