Описание: Within the context of healthcare, there has been a long-standing interest in understanding the posture and movement of the human body. Gait analysis work over the years has looked to articulate the patterns and parameters of this movement both for a normal healthy body and in a range of movement-based disorders. In recent years, these efforts to understand the moving body have been transformed by significant advances in sensing technologies and computational analysis techniques all offering new ways for the moving body to be tracked, measured, and interpreted. While much of this work has been largely research focused, as the field matures, we are seeing more shifts into clinical practice. As a consequence, there is an increasing need to understand these sensing technologies over and above the specific capabilities to track, measure, and infer patterns of movement in themselves. Rather, there is an imperative to understand how the material form of these technologies enables them also to be situated in everyday healthcare contexts and practices. There are significant mutually interdependent ties between the fundamental characteristics and assumptions of these technologies and the configurations of everyday collaborative practices that are possible them. Our attention then must look to social, clinical, and technical relations pertaining to these various body technologies that may play out in particular ways across a range of different healthcare contexts and stakeholders. Our aim in this book is to explore these issues with key examples illustrating how social contexts of use relate to the properties and assumptions bound up in particular choices of body-tracking technology. We do this through a focus on three core application areas in healthcare—assessment, rehabilitation, and surgical interaction—and recent efforts to apply body-tracking technologies to them.

Sir Benedict is a modern-day knight in secret service to the Pope. His mission: to fight and eradicate evil in all its malicious forms.
In this mission, Sir Benedict is sent to Thailand to infiltrate a rising cult. Despite many warnings, Sir Benedict walks confidently into the darkness. What awaits him pushes his faith to the limit and his body to the edge of death. Hanging by a thread, blood-soaked and terrified, Sir Benedict realises his mistake. Is it realised too late?
Then there is the girl. That girl that is weeping in his dreams. The smoke. The black rock. The tattoo. The suffering. The madness. The sacrifice.
Then, an unexpected visitor...
Sir Benedict journeys from despair to faith, from madness to perfect hatred, from defeat to an epic battle.

Описание: Excerpt from The Testimony of Medical Experts: Annual Address of W. H. Philips, M.D., Kenton, O., Retiring President Ohio State Medical Society It is the department of Justice with which we now have to deal, considering it merely with reference to those cases, wherein, for the proper investigation of truth, it is necessary to call in the testimony of medical experts. No other department comes so near home to the citizen as this. A few see the workings of the other departments, but the great majority are totally unacquainted with them except by hearsay. Their workings affect the people as a whole, and not as individuals. They seem far off, and their effects, though powerful, are mostly indirect and not easily described in their action. With the courts it is dif ferent. There is not a citizen in the land who does not come in contact with their operations. It is here that he is punished, that his wrongs are redressed, and his rights obtained. He is affected as an individual. He sees and hears for himself the causes by which effects are wrought upon his life, his liberty, his property, or his reputation. The fact need scarcely be pointed out that where such im portant interests are at stake, the instrumentalities em ployed in securing justice should be as perfect as possible. The great progress which has been made in the last cen tury in judicial science abundantly attests the general ap preciation of this fact by the English and American people. The matter of medical expert testimony furnishes, how ever, an exception. In this a conservatism has been dis played which evinces either a marvelous confidence in the infallible wisdom of their ancestors who founded the pres ent methods of procedure, or a neglect utterly at variance with the radical and reformatory ideas of the nation.
