Dead time, hard time, and narrative redemption: Delimiting the life proper
Abstract Is every detail of your life a candidate for the meaningful, valuable, or worthwhile? If not, which do you exclude? Thaddeus Metz nominates “dead time”: the nail‐clipping, line‐waiting, traffic‐jam enduring, generally commonplace moments of our life. Dead time, while prevalent, is not remarkable. Metz recommends that we set at least some of it

The theoretical basis of reservoir pressure in arteries
Abstract The separation of measured arterial pressure into a reservoir pressure and an excess pressure was introduced over 20 years ago as a heuristic hypothesis. Since then it has gained some traction through epidemiological studies that show that various measures of reservoir and excess pressure are independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Update on Sedation for Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in Japan: Current Evidence on Remimazolam
ABSTRACT Sedation is an essential component of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy because it reduces patient discomfort and anxiety while improving patient acceptance and procedural quality. In Japan, benzodiazepines such as midazolam and opioid analgesics have long been widely used in routine clinical practice; however, many of these agents historically

We report a case of neurosyphilis characterized by early‐onset dementia, limbic encephalitis, and normal pressure hydrocephalus. Psychiatrists should be aware of the possibility of neurosyphilis in such cases. ABSTRACT Background Neurosyphilis may present with a variety of clinical symptoms and neuroimaging findings and is thus likely to be overlooked.

Effective Crack Resistance of a Simplified Ductile Heterogeneous Material With Circular Inclusions
ABSTRACT This contribution investigates the effective crack resistance obtained from a numerical crack‐growth experiment for a simplified two‐dimensional ductile heterogeneous material. The resolved microstructure contains circular inclusions. Their stiffness and fracture resistance are varied independently together with the ligament width between ...
