According to Pedrosa, many women experience abdominal pain while pregnant. Though the likelihood of a woman having appendicitis is low, doctors need a way to test for the condition, Pedrosa said. “The problem is that abdominal pain is very common during pregnancy for other reasons” Pedrosa said. “The challenge for us is to be able...

Should they succeed, the Faculty will have severely crippled the likelihood of finding a dean who can effectively liaise between themselves and Summers.More broadly, there has been a lack of conspicuous wrongdoing on Summers’ part in the intervening time between last March’s no-confidence vote and the impending one at the end of this month.
