Posterior Instability of the Glenohumeral Joint

Seventeen patients underwent posterior capsulotendi nous tensioning procedures to eliminate recurrent pos terior glenohumeral instability. Fourteen patients were evaluated an average of 44 months (range, 18 to 98) after surgery. The average patient age was 27 years. Before surgery, all patients were unable to perform their activities of daily living, occupational activities, and athletic activities. Preoperatively, the average pain rating score on a visual analog scale was 5 of 10 at rest and 9 of 10 with activities. Six patients had previous anterior reconstructions. After surgery, the average range of motion was 174° of forward elevation and 69° of external rotation; internal rotation was to the thumb level of T-8. No patient had a recurrence of posterior instability. After surgery, the average pain rating score was 2 of 10 at rest and 4 of 10 with activities. All patients improved after their operations, but four pa tients were minimally disabled from activities of daily living; six patients experienced shoulder fatigue at work; and four patients had difficulty with sports activ ities. Overall, 13 of the 14 patients were satisfied with their surgical procedures and their outcomes.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/66741/2/10.1177_036354659602400305.pd

From Safety Cases to Security Cases

Assurance cases are widely used in the safely domain, where they pro-vide a way to justify the safety of a system and render that justification open to review. Assurance cases have not been widely used in security, but there is guid-ance available and there have been some promising experiments. There are a number of differences between safety and security which have implications for how we create security cases, but they do not appear to be insurmountable. It appears that the process of creating a security case is compatible with typical evaluation processes, and will have additional benefits in terms of training and corporate memory. In this paper we discuss some of the implications and chal-lenges of applying the practice of assurance case construction from the safety domain to the security domain

Using Microsimulation Models for Revenue Forecasting in Developing Countries

The use of microsimulation models for revenue forecasting in developing countries is addressed and contrasted to some of the alternative forecasting techniques. Given the problems of many of the alternative techniques, microsimulation models are often found to be the preferred revenue estimation method. The microsimulation revenue estimation is illustrated with data for the Jamaican personal income tax. Details for the example related to the data requirements, problems, and the necessary assumptions for obtaining revenue estimates are discussed and several alternate tax policy changes are simulated and presented
