A framework for Surgical Quality Assurance (SQA) in randomized controlled trials in gastrointestinal surgery: an international Delphi consensus studyResearch in context [PDF]

EClinicalMedicine
Summary: Background: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in gastrointestinal surgery often lack standardized approaches to Surgical Quality Assurance (SQA), which threatens both internal and external validity. The technical complexity and inherent inter-

Poster 245: Clinical Measurement of the Standard Q-Angle Correlates Poorly with Tibial Tuberosity to Trochlear Groove Distance in Awake Patients and Anesthetized Patients with Patella Alta and Trochlear Dysplasia [PDF]

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2023
Objectives: The quadriceps angle (Q-angle) measures the force vector of pull of the extensor mechanism of the knee. A larger Q-angle is thought to be a predisposing factor for patellar dislocation, but previous literature has reported poor reliability ...

SQA-Profiles: Rule-based activity profiles for Continuous Integration environments [PDF]

2015 IEEE 22nd International Conference on Software Analysis, Evolution, and Reengineering (SANER), 2015
Continuous Integration (CI) environments cope with the repeated integration of source code changes and provide rapid feedback about the status of a software project. However, as the integration cycles become shorter, the amount of data increases, and the effort to find information in CI environments becomes substantial.
