bacterial infection of the brain is relatively rare in dogs and cats. a cat at approximately three months of age was admitted to the clinic with a history of dog bite seven days before admission. on clinical presentation, the cat was unconscious and in lateral recumbency. one hour after admission, the cat developed severe apnoea and asystole. cardiorespiratory resuscitation was unsuccessful and...

Typical cat-scratch disease (CSD) is characterized by local lymphadenopathy following the scratch or bite from a cat or kitten. An atypical presentation which includes liver and/or spleen lesions is rarely reported in an immunocompetent child. Systemic CSD may mimic more serious disorders like malignancy or tuberculosis. Although a diagnosis is difficult to establish in systemic CSD, an early d...

This paper reports on progress made in the first year of an 8 year research project which aims to build/grow/evolve (at electronic speeds) an artificial brain which contains a billion neurons inside a Cellular Automata Machine (CAM). This paper introduces the CAM-Brain concept, discusses some implementation issues, and justifies how it should be possible to build artificial brains containing a ...
