A 31-year-old woman was diagnosed with duodenal grade 1 follicular lymphoma. The patient underwent radiotherapy and on surveillance enteroscopy, the lymphoma was persistently identified in the duodenum and jejunum. Endoscopic clips were used as fiducials to better localize the tumor during radiotherapy. Endoscopic clips are increasingly used as tumor localization tools because of their favorabl...

In this paper, we will address the problem of designing an interactive video server employing multiprocessors. An interactive video server needs to provide quick response to user’s requests. When the video stream is a sequence of short video clips and if the order in which these clips are played out is determined by the user, the video clips need to be started up fairly quickly to give an impre...

Presented is an algorithm for automatic production of a video abstract of a feature film, similar to a movie trailer. It selects clips from the original movie based on detection of special events like dialogs, shots, explosions and text occurrences, and on general action indicators applied to scenes. These clips are then assembled to form a video trailer using a model of editing. Additional cli...

OBJECTIVE Control of the renal pedicle is the most challenging step during laparoscopic nephrectomy. The standard method is to clip the artery and control the vein with an endovascular gastrointestinal anastomosis stapler. However, this device is expensive and has been reported to malfunction, leading to major complications even death. We describe an easy, quick, and cost-effective alternative ...
