MéniscoseA tear of a meniscus is a rupturing of one or more of the fibrocartilage strips in the knee called menisci. When doctors and patients refer to "torn cartilage" in the knee, they actually may be referring to an injury to a meniscus at the top of one of the tibiae. Menisci can be torn during innocuous activities such as walking or squatting. They can also be torn by traumatic force encountered in sports or other forms of physical exertion. The traumatic action is most often a twisting movement at the knee while the leg is bent.

Open-source software developmentOpen-source software development (OSSD) is the process by which open-source software, or similar software whose source code is publicly available, is developed by an open-source software project. These are software products available with its source code under an open-source license to study, change, and improve its design. Examples of some popular open-source software products are Mozilla Firefox, Google Chromium, Android, LibreOffice and the VLC media player. In 1997, Eric S. Raymond wrote The Cathedral and the Bazaar.
Statistical model validationIn statistics, model validation is the task of evaluating whether a chosen statistical model is appropriate or not. Oftentimes in statistical inference, inferences from models that appear to fit their data may be flukes, resulting in a misunderstanding by researchers of the actual relevance of their model. To combat this, model validation is used to test whether a statistical model can hold up to permutations in the data.
Arthrite septiqueL'arthrite septique ou arthrite purulente est une infection bactérienne de l'espace articulaire qui est associée à une destruction rapide de l'articulation (en quelques jours si elle n'est pas traitée de manière adéquate). En l'absence de traitement, les taux de mortalité peuvent être importants, allant de 3 à 25 %. Malgré la gravité de la maladie, l'arthrite septique peut être difficile à diagnostiquer car de nombreux patients ne présentent pas les signes, symptômes ou résultats de laboratoire classiques.
