The Skeleton in the Closet: Harvesting a Skeletonized IMA [PDF]
There is a considerable amount of data that using more than one arterial graft provides a survival advantage for patients undergoing coronary bypass operations. The Society of Thoracic Surgeons has a set of official guidelines for the use of arterial grafts which include the following recommendations:Internal mammary arteries (IMA’s) should be used to ...

A study investigated the use of software scaffolding for student design and construction of multimedia environments as a cross-curricular learning activity. The students (11 to 13 years) in a Melbourne, Australia, girls’ school, worked in a technologically enriched learning environment and were experienced multimedia developers. The girls were provided

The thyroid and the skeleton [PDF]
The relationship between the thyroid and the skeleton was first suggested in 1891 when Von Recklinghausen (1891) reported a patient with hyperthyroidism and multiple fractures. Thyroid disease is common; more than 1% of British women receive thyroxine treatment, increasing to over 3% in those over 50 years of age, and the concern is that patients with ...

Four Severity Levels for Grading the Tortuosity of a Retinal Fundus Image
Hypertensive retinopathy severity classification is proportionally related to tortuosity severity grading. No tortuosity severity scale enables a computer-aided system to classify the tortuosity severity of a retinal image. This work aimed to introduce a

Accuracy Assessment of Joint Angles Estimated from 2D and 3D Camera Measurements
To automatically evaluate the ergonomics of workers, 3D skeletons are needed. Most ergonomic assessment methods, like REBA, are based on the different 3D joint angles.
