	Rigour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rigour or rigor (see spelling differences) has a number of meanings in relation to intellectual life and discourse.
		In medicine, rigor is an episode of shaking during a high fever.
		Most mathematical arguments are presented as prototypes of formally rigorous proofs, on the grounds that too much formality may in fact obscure what is being demonstrated.

	Rigor (medicine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rigor or chills is shaking occurring during a high fever.
		It occurs because cytokines and prostaglandins are released as part of an immune response and increase the set point for body temperature in the hypothalamus.
		Rigors occur because the patient is effectively shivering in a physiological attempt to increase body temperature to the new set point.

		Ultraje a Rigor is one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time in Brazil, according to a recent research conducted by Revista Zero among musicians and critics.
		In 1990 Ultraje went back to their roots and released "Por Quê Ultraje a rigor?" ("Why Ultraje a rigor" or also in the sense of "What for?"), an album of covers that were part of their repertoire when they were playing small gigs.
		In 1992, against the band's wishes, WEA released a greatest hits collection called ""O mundo encantado do Ultraje a rigor (The Enchanted World of Ultraje a rigor), "enchanted" being Roger's ironic take on the contrast between the band's initial years of enchantment and the subsequent difficulties that the band encountered with regard to new projects.

		Differences in the rigor mortis between these muscles are reflected by differences in rigor mortis between the predominant muscle fibers, but the cause of rapid progress of rigor mortis in red muscle fiber is unknown.
		Rigor mortis could be resolved by proteases which would be activated by high levels of intracellular Ca However, it is not known whether postmortem levels of Ca are different between red and white muscle.
		Rigor mortis progressed more rapidly in red than in white muscles, and this study was the first to demonstrate such a difference between muscle types.

	The Physician and Sportsmedicine: March Editor's Notes
		If sports medicine were a specialty—as it is in several countries—residents would be taught a uniform curriculum specific to the care of physically active people and athletes.
		In addition, while musculoskeletal medicine and rehabilitation may be central, sports medicine embraces— from all branches of medicine and science—knowledge that will improve the care of active patients (3).
		Two points are critical in this model: first, the increased scientific rigor and knowledge that will develop by centralizing the specialty appropriately; and second, the dissemination of the knowledge to reach the greatest possible number of physicians and their patients.

		At least half of their patients are already dabbling in the kind of stuff we do, so we bring a kind of academic rigor to helping them understanding what their patients are doing and to sometimes maximize effective treatments that they may not be familiar with.
		Guided imagery or visualization is one; Chinese medicine with acupuncture and nutritional modification and herbs is the second treatment; and the third treatment is a kind of deep tissue body therapy primarily related to the pelvis and abdomen.

	ACP Observer, April 2006 - How should we define the value of internal medicine?
		But we also need to define that value for students considering careers in internal medicine, for patients deciding which physician can best meet their needs, and for payers and policy-makers who determine how to pay for medical care.
		We know we have received rigorous training and that our ability to care for adult illnesses is broad and deep.
		While there is no evidence that internists do a poorer job than others in caring for patients, the fact is that long, rigorous studies to assess care outcomes by internists compared to those of non-internists haven't been done—and would be very difficult and costly to do.

		Within most of these major categories fall practices already accepted and used in conventional medicine, such as psychotherapy, meditation and imagery; practices that overlap between CAM and conventional, such as placebos, dance therapy, and, potentially, acupuncture; and practices completely eschewed by conventional medicine, such as reiki, color therapy and reflexology.
		Critics stress that the use of science for understanding alternative medicine is frequently missing from such practices and evidence-based research on CAM is needed.

		It is arguable that licensing (in the United States) is inappropriate because the creation of software represents a form of writing, and requiring people to be licensed in order to write computer programs may be a violation of the First Amendment.
		Requiring software engineers to be licensed would make persons who create software without a license into criminals, even if they give their software away, same as practicing medicine or law without a license, even for free, is a criminal offense.
		It could also be argued the requirement of licensing of programmers could be "prostituted" into an orthodoxy where those who create software in ways or using methods which are not approved by the licensing authorities may be subject to sanctions up to and including loss of license.
