- Olfactory ObjectsPublication . Carvalho, FelipeThe philosophy of perception has been mostly focused on vision, to the detriment of other modalities like audition or olfaction. In this paper I focus on olfaction and olfactory experience, and raise the following questions: is olfaction a perceptual-representational modality? If so, what does it represent? My goal in the paper is, firstly, to provide an affirmative answer to the first question, and secondly, to argue that olfaction represents odors in the form of olfactory objects, to which olfactory qualities are attributed. In order to do this I develop an empirically adequate notion of olfactory object that is sensitive to the peculiarities of olfaction, and defend it against various objections.
- Dispensing with Ontological Levels: an IllustrationPublication . Inwagen, Peter van
- Does Ontology Matter?Publication . Graham, AndrewIn this paper, I argue that various disputes in ontology have important ramifications and so are worth taking seriously. I employ a criterion according to which whether a dispute matters depends on how integrated it is with the rest of our theoretical projects. Disputes that arise from previous tensions in our theorizing and have additional implications for other issues matter, while insular disputes do not. I apply this criterion in arguing that certain ontological disputes matter; specifically, the disputes over concrete possible worlds and coincident material objects. Finally, I consider how one could show that some ontological disputes do not matter, using a Platonism/nominalism dispute as an example.
- Epicardial ablation for prevention of ventricular fibrillation in a patient with Brugada syndromePublication . Dias, Nuno Cortez; Plácido, Rui; Marta, Liliana; Bernardes, Ana; Sobral, Sílvia; Carpinteiro, Luís; Sousa, João deWe present the case of a 60-year-old woman with Brugada syndrome, permanent type 1 electrocardiographic pattern, who had previously received an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. She suffered frequent syncopal episodes and multiple appropriate shocks (around five per month) due to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation, refractory to quinidine therapy. Combined epicardial and endocardial electroanatomical mapping was performed with a view to substrate ablation. An area of abnormal fractionated electrograms, lasting up to 370 ms and up to 216 ms after the end of the surface QRS, was identified in the epicardium in the lower anterior part of the right ventricular outflow tract. Extensive epicardial ablation of this area, which eliminated the fractionated electrograms, led to the disappearance of the Brugada electrocardiographic pattern six weeks after ablation. Despite discontinuation of quinidine, no further ventricular arrhythmias occurred during follow-up, which is still of short duration.
