What factors do you think enabled Iddan‚ an engineer with no medical background‚ to pioneer the development of wireless endoscopy? Counterintuitive though it may seem‚ sometimes NOT being an expert in a particular field is conducive to creating breakthrough innovation in that field. Because Iddan was not a gastroenterologist‚ he was not “trapped” in the paradigm that the bowel must be scoped using a camera attached to a flexible rod (an endoscope). Instead‚ he applied concepts from his own background

suture is placed through the node to provide traction. The node is then dissected free from the surrounding tissue. All feeding blood vessels‚ afferent and efferent lymphatics may be ligated. Using the radiocolloid method‚ the gamma probe is used to locate any other SLNs and to confirm low radioactivity counts in the axilla and no residual SLNs. Ex vivo and in vivo radioactivity counts are recorded for each node. The axillary tissue is also carefully palpated for any nodes that seem suspicious and that

Diagnosis of infiltrating ductal carcinoma was made following a stereotactic needle biopsy of a 1.5 x 1.5 cm lobulated mass at the 3:00 position in her left breast. The client had a modified radical mastectomy with lymph node dissection. The sentinel lymph node and 11 of 16 lymph nodes were positive for tumor. Estrogen receptors and progesterone receptors were both positive. Further staging work-up was negative for distant metastasis. Her final staging was stage IIB. Her prescribed chemotherapy regimen

pigments (ethyl alcohol‚ denatured alcohol‚ or distilled water) are used at artists’ discretion (Helmenstine‚ 2002). Impurities in pigments may cause adverse skin reactions. Colorants also may be transported to other parts of the body‚ such as the lymph nodes (Moehrle‚ Blaheta‚ & Ruck‚ 2001)‚ which can present clinical challenges when specimens are dyed for pathology tests.

Passive infrared sensor A passive infrared sensor (PIR Sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors. Operating principle All objects with a temperature above absolute zero emit heat energy in the form of radiation. Usually this radiation is invisible to the human eye because it radiates at infrared wavelengths‚ but it can be detected by electronic devices designed for such a purpose

These problems have forced the development of simple‚ robust‚ and reliable commercial prosthetic hands‚ as the Otto Brock Sensor Hand prosthesis which is widely implanted and appreciated by users. The Otto Bock hand has only one degree of freedom (DOF)‚ it can move the fingers at proportional speed from 15-130 mm/s and can generates grip force up to 100 N. According to analysis
