A SIMPLIFIED SUBTRACTION TECHNIQUE

A simplified Price Jones technique.

The measurement of the mean diameter of the red blood cells is still one of the most important observations that can be made. Unfortunately the most accurate method of measurement by the technique introduced by Price-Jones is tedious and time-consuming. To trace the outlines of 500 cells, and then to measure the largest and smallest diameter of each, takes at least four hours. It also requires ...

Laparoscopic-Assisted Lumboperitoneal Shunt: A Simplified Technique

OBJECTIVES Lumboperitoneal shunt has been advocated as a better alternative to ventriculoperitoneal shunt in communicating hydrocephalus. To minimize the morbidity of subcutaneous tunneling or an open abdominal wound, we developed a simplified technique for laparoscopy-assisted placement of lumboperitoneal shunts. METHODS Patients deemed candidates for lumboperitoneal shunts underwent laparos...

A Simplified Technique for Forensic Precipitation Tests.

novement of the end of the bar (e) and assures a quick and positive movement of the valve when the vessel (d) moves from the "down" to the "up" position. A suitable counter weight is suspended from the bar (e). As indicated in the diagram, when the vessel (d) is in the "up" position air pressure from the compressed air main forces the culture solution up into the sand containers. As the solutio...

A simplified technique for ICA back pressures.

Simplified subjective workload assessment technique.

Although the subjective workload assessment technique (SWAT) has been widely used, it has two main problems: it is not very sensitive for low mental workloads and it requires a time-consuming card sorting pretask procedure. In this study are presented five variations of SWAT in an effort to overcome the limitations. Four of the variants used the continuous SWAT subscales while one used the disc...
