Emerging Technologies for Telemedicine

This paper focuses on new technologies that are practically useful for telemedicine. Three representative systems are introduced: a Digital Video Transport System (DVTS), an H.323 compatible videoconferencing system, and Vidyo. Based on some of our experiences, we highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each technology, and point out technologies that are especially targeted at doctors an...

Promising New Technologies for Semen Evaluation

Introduction Assessment of seminal plasma and sperm-membrane associated constituents has led to the isolation of four proteins that provide utility for predicting fertility potential of bulls. All four of these proteins have been isolated and characterized biochemically. They have also proved to be very valuable as a diagnostic indicator of fertility beyond the traditional breeding soundness ex...

Emerging technologies.

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 for the genomic analysis of cancer

Cancer-cell survival, growth and metastatic potential are directed by dominant molecular signalling patterns, the components of which have been shown to be qualitatively different from their normal tissue counterparts. These signalling patterns can now be further distinguished by quantitative assessment, either at a single point in time or at intervals. This commentary will focus on the emergen...
