Gastric bypass surgery performed by remote control

Sunday, August 21, 2005

A robotic system at Stanford Medical Center was used to perform a laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery successfully with a theoretically similar rate of complications to that seen in standard operations. However, as there were only 10 people in the experimental group (and another 10 in the control group), this is not a statistically significant sample.

If this surgical procedure is as successful in large-scale studies, it may lead the way for the use of robotic surgery in even more delicate procedures, such as heart surgery. Note that this is not a fully automated system, as a human doctor controls the operation via remote control. Laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery is a treatment for obesity.

There were concerns that doctors, in the future, might only be trained in the remote control procedure. Ronald G. Latimer, M.D., of Santa Barbara, CA, warned “The fact that surgeons may have to open the patient or might actually need to revert to standard laparoscopic techniques demands that this basic training be a requirement before a robot is purchased. Robots do malfunction, so a backup system is imperative. We should not be seduced to buy this instrument to train surgeons if they are not able to do the primary operations themselves.”

There are precedents for just such a problem occurring. A previous “new technology”, the electrocardiogram (ECG), has lead to a lack of basic education on the older technology, the stethoscope. As a result, many heart conditions now go undiagnosed, especially in children and others who rarely undergo an ECG procedure.

Gay Talese on the state of journalism, Iraq and his life

Saturday, October 27, 2007

Gay Talese wants to go to Iraq. “It so happens there is someone that’s working on such a thing right now for me,” the 75-year-old legendary journalist and author told David Shankbone. “Even if I was on Al-Jazeera with a gun to my head, I wouldn’t be pleading with those bastards! I’d say, ‘Go ahead. Make my day.'”

Few reporters will ever reach the stature of Talese. His 1966 profile of Frank Sinatra, Frank Sinatra Has a Cold, was not only cited by The Economist as the greatest profile of Sinatra ever written, but is considered the greatest of any celebrity profile ever written. In the 70th anniversary issue of Esquire in October 2003, the editors declared the piece the “Best Story Esquire Ever Published.”

Talese helped create and define a new style of literary reporting called New Journalism. Talese himself told National Public Radio he rejects this label (“The term new journalism became very fashionable on college campuses in the 1970s and some of its practitioners tended to be a little loose with the facts. And that’s where I wanted to part company.”)

He is not bothered by the Bancrofts selling The Wall Street Journal—”It’s not like we should lament the passing of some noble dynasty!”—to Rupert Murdoch, but he is bothered by how the press supported and sold the Iraq War to the American people. “The press in Washington got us into this war as much as the people that are controlling it,” said Talese. “They took information that was second-hand information, and they went along with it.” He wants to see the Washington press corp disbanded and sent around the country to get back in touch with the people it covers; that the press should not be so focused on–and in bed with–the federal government.

Augusten Burroughs once said that writers are experience junkies, and Talese fits the bill. Talese–who has been married to Nan Talese (she edited James Frey‘s Million Little Piece) for fifty years–can be found at baseball games in Cuba or the gay bars of Beijing, wanting to see humanity in all its experience.

Below is Wikinews reporter David Shankbone’s interview with Gay Talese.

Success is regarded possible by the availability of measurable entities. i.e. EURyou could manage just what you can measure’. Consequently, milk farmers in Kenya need to maintain a daily occurrence account of item usage, labour consumption, milk returns, relevant dates amongst other collectable info.

Purchase of pertinent items and other livestock is essential as well as therefore farmers participating in dairy farming in Kenya could source for this inputs by means of the new ag-biased farm inputs directory site service.

Let’s go through some significant advantages of dairy farming:

Manufacturing is possible even throughout dry and heats as the industry is not based on rainfall.

Woman in Buffalo, New York accidentally sets herself on fire

Tuesday, January 22, 2008

Buffalo, New York —A woman in Buffalo, New York in the United States is in critical condition tonight at Sisters Of Charity Hospital after she accidentally set herself on fire.

The unnamed elderly woman was receiving oxygen for medical problems in her home and lit a cigarette, and the oxygen coming from her mask facilitated the ignition of her clothing, setting her on fire.

Despite her “severe” burns as described by firefighters on radio communications, she was still able to dial the emergency line in the U.S., 911.

In the U.S. only 4% of all residential fires were reportedly caused by smoking materials in 2002. These fires, however, were responsible for 19% of residential fire fatalities and 9% of injuries. The fatality rate due to smoking is nearly four times higher than the overall residential fire rate; injuries are more than twice as likely. Forty percent of all smoking fires start in the bedroom or living room/family room; in 35% of these fires, bedding or upholstered furniture are the items first ignited.

The Importance Of Hard Hats In Industry

By Lawrence J. Reaves

If you work in any sort of industrial field, more than likely you will see people during your work day who are wearing hard hats. A hard hat is a very important part of professions where there is any danger involved. Oftentimes, it is a requirement for everyone to wear a hard hat at a work site to minimize any danger.

Many people do not give it a great deal of thought, but one part of hard hats that needs to be carefully addressed is the type of stickers that go on the hat. These hats are usually worn by builders, plumbers, electricians, managers and basically anyone who is working in an area with hazards. Most of these hard hats are made the same way – from hard plastic and are very strong and light. But people who work in different fields will need to have different sorts of stickers on the hard hats. Actually a hard hat with a certain sort of sticker on it can be a sort of status symbol in some fields. If you have on a hard hat of a certain color with a certain sticker design on it, you can be identified as part of a certain team on a specific work site.

Some of the most common users of hard hat stickers are construction firms, industrial associations, manufacturing companies, and unions of various kinds. Because it is important that the hard hat stickers look good, the decals will need to be made of tough materials that will look good after years of hard use in the field.

Good hard hat stickers will often be made of vinyl that is reflective, or vinyl that is pressure sensitive for a more professional look and feel. This sort of sticker design is made to keep its color for a long period of time during tough working conditions. Whatever sort of hardhat sticker you choose for your field, your stickers will need to be resistant to moisture and last a great deal of time.

Hardhat decals may be used in just about any place of work. Also, these stickers can be put on cars, trucks, tools, equipment and other things. When you are having your hardhat labels printed, you should think about how much of an image or the kind of artwork that you need to show. If you only want the logo to show up on your hardhat label, you have to think about the ink color that is around to be used, or to just use black as the default. When you are thinking about printing your label, you will also need to think about the hardhat color that the sticker is going to be put on. You want to have a great deal of contrast with the helmet color so that your sticker will stand out really well.

Overall, remember to have the highest quality hardhat stickers printed so that they will last you a great many years. They also must be highly durable for whatever field you are in.
