Axillo-axillary bypass grafting is considered the operation of choice for patients with subclavian steal syndrome. Anesthetic management of high-risk patients with coronary-subclavian steal syndrome presents safety and technical challenges. Presently described is case of chronic obstructive lung disease and coronary artery disease in a 52-year-old man who required axillo-axillary bypass surgery...

same lines as previously, i.e., under the headings of alimentary canal, urogenital organs, etc., and as usual cover a wide range of subjects. Articles calling for mention are one on cartilaginous tumours of the larynx with an account of a case of this very rare condition and including notes of other recorded cases. W. J. Mayo has an interesting paper on cancer of the stomach, and advances the t...

The research presents MARTI (Man-machine animation real-time interface) for the realisation of automated special effect animation and human computer interaction. The future developments of the Internet, video communications and multi-media, virtual reality, and animation will rely on the derivation of a natural humanmachine interface in order to submerse people, irrespective of technical know-h...

Some of the cultural and technical forces that influenced the creation of the “man” (the player-controlled element) in two early home video games, Pitfall! and Yars’ Revenge, are discussed. We find that the specific nature of the Atari Video Computer System (also known as the Atari VCS and Atari 2600) as a computing platform enables and constrains what can be done on the system, and that it als...

Many companies include in their Information Systems (IS) several communicating heterogeneous middleware according to their technical needs. The need is the same when IS requires using context aware platforms for different aims. Moreover, users may be mobile and want to receive and send services with their PDA that more often supports Android based Human Man Interface. In this paper, we show how...

Some of the minor casualties which come within the range of surgical practice require quick and ready help; such help, I mean, as ought to be within the capacity of every medical man, whatever may be his qualifications or the technical method of exercising his craft. As old as Ulysses is the song which celebrates the wise physician, " skilled our wounds to heal ;" and the conventional distincti...

Augmented Reality is a promising paradigm for intraoperative assistance. Yet, apart from technical issues, a major obstacle to its clinical application is the man-machine interaction. Visualization of unnecessary, obsolete or redundant information may cause confusion and distraction, reducing usefulness and acceptance of the assistance system. We propose a system capable of automatically filter...

Imagine a world in which any protein, either naturally occurring or designed by man, could be produced safely, inexpensively and in almost unlimited quantities using only simple nutrients, water and sunlight. This could one day become reality as we learn to harness the power of plants for the production of recombinant proteins on an agricultural scale. Molecular farming in plants has already pr...

Percutaneous osteoplasty (POP) as a technical extension of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) has been used to treat malignant disease that affects the skeletal system. POP has demonstrated good outcome for pain relief and functional improvement. Few studies have reported on the efficiency of POP to treat malignancies located in the femoral head. We designed a pilot study with the use of POP to ...
