Hemodynamic monitoring in critically ill patients has been considered part of the standard of care in managing patients with shock and/or acute lung injury, but outcome benefit, particularly in pediatric patients, has been questioned. There is difficulty in validating the reliability of monitoring devices, especially since this validation requires comparison to the pulmonary artery catheter, wh...

Emerging Technologies

I t is difficult to believe how much musculoskeletal medicine has improved over the past 30 years. In the sports medicine world, the arthroscope has been one of the instruments that has revolutionized orthopaedic care of the synovial joints, especially the knee, shoulder, and recently, the hip. These developments are far beyond what orthopaedic entrepreneurs of the 1970s and 1980s could imagine...

Emerging Technologies Project : Cluster Technologies

The purpose of the Emerging Technologies project to which this work belongs, is to compare the applicability of cluster computers to various problems to that of conventional supercomputers. This article details the rewriting of an existing Particle-In-Cell electrostatic simulation code targeted at SMP computers to a message-passing approach, and a comparison of the results obtained when running...

Emerging technologies: systems biology.

The field of systems biology is based on the paradigm that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Through a combination of high-throughput experiments analyzing "-omic" scale phenomenon and the development of new computational techniques and algorithms, it is now feasible to study biological systems in a way that was previously not possible. During the 232nd National Meeting of the Ame...
