Diagnosis of malfunctioning deep-submicron (DSM) ICs is becoming more dificult due to the increasing sophistication of the manufacturing process and the structural complexity of the IC itself: At the same time, key diagnostic tusks that include defect localization are still solved using primitive models of the IC’s defects. This paper explores the use of “jault tuples” in diagnosis. Fault tuple...

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) has an incidence of approximately 1:4000 live births. Most frequently the diaphragmatic defect is a left and posterolateral (Bochdalek) one. Prenatal diagnosis is made at ultrasonography; the relevant sonographic features will be described in the paper. Cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung (CAML), pulmonary sequestration, bronchogenic cysts, pulmonar...

In subsequent papers I propose to investigate various properties of fibre spaces. The object of the fundamental Hurewicz-Steenrod definition is to state a minimum set of readily verifiable conditions under which the covering homotopy theorem holds. An apparent defect of their definition is that it is not topologically invariant. In fact, for topological space X and metrizable non-compact space ...

Donkin was educated at Blackheath Proprietary School and thence went to Queen's College, Oxford, as an open scholar, graduating in the first class of the Classical Tripos. He graduated as M.B., Oxon, in 1873, and became a F.R.C.P. Lon. in 1880, and during his active professional life held many important appointments and was Harveian Orator in 1910. He was physician and lecturer on Medicine at W...

Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge the financial assistance provided by the Rural Research and Development Corporation for the project DAN92A, which partly funded this work. This report was prepared over a number of years and as is evident from the references some parts of the work led to joint papers with a number of other staff from NSW Agriculture including The objective of this rep...

Between January 1976 and July 1983, 217 patients with atrial septal defect underwent surgical repair at Children's Hospital. Thirty with a primum atrial septal defect and 26 who underwent cardiac catheterization elsewhere before being seen were excluded from analysis. Of the 161 remaining patients, 52 (31%) underwent preoperative cardiac catheterization, 38 because the physical examination was ...

Early diagnosis of diaphragmatic rupture after traumas may be difficult, and delayed diagnosis may result in increased morbidity and mortality. This paper describes the case of a 32-year-old man who experienced a traffic accident and had diagnosis of traumatic diaphragmatic hernia nearly four months later. The patient was referred to our emergency room suffering from ileus symptoms. Physical ex...

We report a case of primary fibroepithelial polyp of the right midureter. The patient was a 41-year-old-woman, complaining of right flank pain. An excretory urogram revealed right hydronephrosis and a filling defect of the the right midureter. The filling defect was produced by a large fibroepithelial polyp that was diagnosed and removed by ureteroscopy without open surgery. Large fibroepitheli...

A case is reported of herniation of the left atrial appendage through a partial pericardial defect, probably congenital. The diagnosis was suggested by the history of chest pain and bulging of the middle segment of the left heart border on the plain chest film, without other signs. Angiography revealed a dilated left atrial appendage. An artificial left pneumothorax confirmed the presence of a ...

The M-mode echocardiographic findings of ventricular septal defect (VSD) are nonspecific. A specific pulsed Doppler echocardiographic (PDE) diagnosis of VSD can be made by following the turbulent VSD jet through the septum. To assess the sensitivity, specificity and limitations of PDE diagnosis of VSD, 105 children undergoing cardiac catheterization were examined by PDE. These children had a va...
