[Construction of a system for the automatic design of printed-circuit boards for medical electronic apparatus].

The structure of the system for designing printed circuit boards based on such widely used technical equipment as minicomputers and unified-system computers, is discussed. The system allows one to carry out, in consecutive stages, the automation of the process of designing printed circuit boards and the technological provision for their manufacture. The principles of designing the boards on the basis of algorithms using the notion of channels and including the subdivision of the total circuit into separate structural units, the location of different elements in these units and their tracing are described in detail. The stage of making up the design documents and the control punch tapes containing the final stage of tracing correction with the output of the control data or a coordinatograph and numerically controlled machines is considered.

Telemetry for the year 2000: meeting the needs of the customer.

As customers of medical technology, all too often we are limited in our equipment selection process by the unwillingness of the vendor to custom-design their equipment to meet our needs. Reductions in capital equipment budgets as well as in operating (salary) budgets will require hospitals to make equipment selections based not only on how the technology can fulfill a patient care need, but also on how the technology can reduce or offset operating costs. The replacement of older telemetry monitoring equipment with state-of-the-art computerized, distributed network display terminals offers a new insight into how telemetry monitoring can better serve the needs of the caregiver, and at the same time contribute to reductions to operating costs. Computerized arrhythmia telemetry monitoring technology has finally advanced to the point where you don't need a full-time person to "monitor the monitor."

Professionals earn Master's and maintain careers at same time.

To accommodate professionals who wish to further their education while meeting their career and family responsibilities, the University of Colorado at Denver and the Western Network for Education in Health Administration designed the Executive Program in Health Administration. A major portion of the program instruction is done through computer conferencing and both residential and nonresidential course work, with students attending on-campus classes for 11 weeks over a 25-month period. On completion of the Executive Program, students earn the master's of science and health administration degree. The students are assigned course work and tested by computer, which they use to talk with professors and form study groups with one another.

The power of the 'pretty picture'.

Images used in science communication do not always show the subject matter in the best or most informative way. Felice Frankel describes the role of the beautiful image as a successful and compelling wat to communicate complex ideas.

[In vitro semi-automated morphometry of preserved human corneal endothelium].

Cellular morphometry allows us to quantify the structural alterations of the corneal endothelium. Our study was a semi-automatized in vitro analysis of fresh and preserved corneal endothelium (MK medium cryopreservation). The equipment used was the Quantimeter 720 connected to a Digital PDP1123 computer. Nineteen corneas were studied and the following cellular parameters were established: perimeter, surface area, form factor and polymorphism coefficient. The computer program used was the SPSS/PC (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) and the principal statistical tests were the Bartlett test and variance analysis. The statistical computerized study allowed us to compare the four cellular parameters and to establish the incidence rate of the conservation process on endothelial morphometry. The statistical and morphometry methods have proved to be reproducible and reliable and carry a supplementary quantitative element to analyse the influence of the conservation process.

Developing a health sciences library Gopher: more involved than meets the eye.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the development of the Health Sciences Library Gopher at St. Louis University (SLU) Health Sciences Center. The authors will outline university criteria from the Office of Computing and Information Services, library selection criteria, bibliographical access, reference and instructional implications, data entry and maintenance, and the role of the library's Internet Committee. All libraries have been awed by the tremendous amount of resources available through the Internet; the challenge is to not be intimidated but to be innovative in designing systems that can present these resources to the library client in the most easily understandable approaches possible. The Internet Committee in the SLU Health Sciences Center Library has designed a framework for the construction of "menus" to lead the client to selected Internet resources. Some of the issues confronted include relating the Internet resources to the library's Collection Development Policy, coordination of Internet resources to other bibliographic sources (Journal Holdings List, Intelligent Catalog), and educating staff and clients to manage a wide range of new resources as well as traditional ones in electronic formats.

Biomedical informatics research network: building a national collaboratory to hasten the derivation of new understanding and treatment of disease.

Through support from the National Institutes of Health's National Center for Research Resources, the Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN) is pioneering the use of advanced cyberinfrastructure for medical research. By synchronizing developments in advanced wide area networking, distributed computing, distributed database federation, and other emerging capabilities of e-science, the BIRN has created a collaborative environment that is paving the way for biomedical research and clinical information management. The BIRN Coordinating Center (BIRN-CC) is orchestrating the development and deployment of key infrastructure components for immediate and long-range support of biomedical and clinical research being pursued by domain scientists in three neuroimaging test beds.

Cookin' Up Health: developing a nutrition intervention for a rural Appalachian population.

Cookin' Up Health is a culturally targeted and individualized tailored nutrition intervention using a computer-based interactive format. Using a cooking show theme, the program demonstrates step-by-step meal preparation emphasizing healthy selection and portion control. Focus groups were conducted with women in two rural counties in West Virginia to guide the development of the intervention. Women felt more susceptible to heart disease because the changing role of women creates more stress and less time; weight loss was a greater motivator for dietary change than was preventing heart disease; social support is a barrier and facilitator for dietary change; cultural heritage and the way women were raised were major barriers to making health changes as adults; convenience and the cost of eating healthier were major factors when trying to make changes in diet; and women did not feel confident in their ability to maintain dietary changes.

Parallel processing of large datasets from NanoLC-FTICR-MS measurements.

A new approach for automatic parallel processing of large mass spectral datasets in a distributed computing environment is demonstrated to significantly decrease the total processing time. The implementation of this novel approach is described and evaluated for large nanoLC-FTICR-MS datasets. The speed benefits are determined by the network speed and file transfer protocols only and allow almost real-time analysis of complex data (e.g., a 3-gigabyte raw dataset is fully processed within 5 min). Key advantages of this approach are not limited to the improved analysis speed, but also include the improved flexibility, reproducibility, and the possibility to share and reuse the pre- and postprocessing strategies. The storage of all raw data combined with the massively parallel processing approach described here allows the scientist to reprocess data with a different set of parameters (e.g., apodization, calibration, noise reduction), as is recommended by the proteomics community. This approach of parallel processing was developed in the Virtual Laboratory for e-Science (VL-e), a science portal that aims at allowing access to users outside the computer research community. As such, this strategy can be applied to all types of serially acquired large mass spectral datasets such as LC-MS, LC-MS/MS, and high-resolution imaging MS results.
