Constituting the 'object' of science in Newton's Principia: the many faces of Janus.
Stud Hist Philos Sci
October 2022
An interpretation of the opening sections of Isaac Newton's Principia is offered, in support of my contention that what is introduced there is a conceptual framework, constituting the object and formulating the task of rational mechanics, thus mediating a synthesis of mathematics and experiment/observation. I compare this view with the 'law-constitutive' solution of Brading (2012) to the 'problem of bodies'. On this basis, I comment on one of the 'tensions' Biener and Schliesser (2017) discern in Newton's writings.

- Short-term benefits of perioperative corticosteroid injections (CSIs) for bilateral total knee replacement (BTKR) include reduced pain, improved knee motion, and suppressed inflammation, but long-term effects are not well understood.
- A study compared the outcomes of BTKR patients who received CSIs with those who were given a placebo after three years, focusing on functional results and complications.
- Results indicated no significant increase in complications for the CSI group, with some improvement in pain and stiffness, although these were not statistically significant across various clinical outcome measures.
Background: Alteration of the posteromedial part of the proximal tibia is the main characteristic of Blount's disease and if left untreated, leg alignment and normal development of the lower limbs may be compromised.
Aim: To report treatment outcomes in children with Blount's disease using the Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF).
Materials And Methods: From January 2007 to December 2014, 16 young children (24 tibia) with a mean age of 7.
New 3-dimensional digital technologies are revolutionizing orthopedic clinical practice, allowing structures of any complexity to be manufactured in just hours. Such technologies can make surgery for complex cases more precise, more cost-effective, and possibly easier to perform. Applications include pre-operative planning, surgical simulation, patient-specific instrumentation and implants, bioprinting, prosthetics, and orthotics.

Methods: We identified 17,959 patients treated with primary TKA between 2000 and 2009. We recorded patient demographics, comorbidities and in-hospital complications.
