Treatment of cubitus varus with osteotomy and Ilizarov external fixation.
A cubitus varus deformity, secondary to a supracondylar fracture, was treated with a short oblique osteotomy and the Ilizarov external fixator. An excellent anatomic and functional outcome resulted. This method may prove to be of significant value in the treatment of this difficult deformity.

Exercise participation after menopause.
Who should exercise? What exercises should be performed and with what frequency and duration? What benefits can be expected from such exercises? These are some of the questions frequently asked of physicians who care for elderly and post-menopausal patients. Data are conflicting, but significant conclusions can be drawn that will help provide the answers to these questions. This article is written to guide physicians' recommendations to their patients regarding postmenopausal exercise.
Commercial software as the basis for an augmentative communication system on a personal computer.
Many severely speech-impaired individuals have a need or desire to maintain the capability for computerized speech generation while performing a variety of other computer-supported tasks such as word processing, financial analysis, or database management. Criteria are presented for augmentative communication systems that both incorporate a personal computer (PC) and provide capabilities for voice output to satisfy this requirement. Current approaches to such systems are categorized and reviewed in light of these criteria. A new method is then described in which word processing or other appropriate PC software is used for speech production, providing a natural integration of written and spoken communication. The approach separates the computer access and voice output functions to allow great flexibility in the choice of an alternative access system. This flexibility combined with appropriate exploitation of PC software features has the potential to yield a high communication rate as well as maximum compatibility with application software.
