Telemedicine Might Be Bad For Dermatology A patient receiving a dermatology diagnosis after an online consultation might do well to be skeptical, according to a study published this week in the journal JAMA Dermatology. Though telemedicine is sometimes necessary for certain cases, researchers say patients dealing with the vague and impersonal world of online clinicians could miss out on proper care due to lax oversight, vague recommendations and misdiagnoses. Over the past decade, dermatologists have been at the forefront of adopting telemedicine. In 2015, 1.25 million people visited telemedicine sites for dermatology alone, and patients’ insurance covers an increasingly large proportion of such visits. In the study, the researchers created six simulated patients, and pretended to be them across 16 dermatology telemedicine web sites. On nearly 70 percent of sites, patients were not given the option to choose their clinician. For now, it’s up to consumers to make sure they’re getting good medical advice online.
Surveillance Camera Benchmarking Report by eInfochips Global surveillance camera market revenue is projected to reach $45 billion by 2019, with CAGR of 20% from 2015 to 2019. The video surveillance industry has undergone significant technological advances in terms of digitization, image quality & usage. Increasing demand for digital (IP) camera instead of analog, widespread usage of 4K image quality, video analytics, and integration with access control systems have shifted the paradigm of surveillance camera. eInfochips assist surveillance camera OEMs to study other company products & features that play a key role in the success of business strategy planning & implementation.
Trends in Camera Design Increase Functionality | Features | Aug 2004 Higher resolution, more features and faster speeds are enabling novel camera technology while reducing imaging application costs. Michael McKay, PixeLink Commercially available camera sensors are shrinking, perhaps driven by the camera-phone craze. Now common are 3-μm pixels with megapixel sensors that measure less than half an inch. Although beneficial for compact cameras, such small sensors are not ideal for machine vision or microscopy. Sensors also are becoming faster. Supporting the new sensors has necessitated changes in the electronic design of cameras. Along with image processing and calibration, improved electronics have enabled more camera functionality and the use of standard digital interfaces. Shorten head pleaseVGA (video graphics array) cameras still dominate in machine vision, but interest in higher resolution is growing. This feature enables imaging applications where lighting conditions are extreme, with high contrast and a wide intrascene dynamic range. Meet the author
Nanotechnology In Medicine: Huge Potential, But What Are The Risks? Nanotechnology, the manipulation of matter at the atomic and molecular scale to create materials with remarkably varied and new properties, is a rapidly expanding area of research with huge potential in many sectors, ranging from healthcare to construction and electronics. In medicine, it promises to revolutionize drug delivery, gene therapy, diagnostics, and many areas of research, development and clinical application. This article does not attempt to cover the whole field, but offers, by means of some examples, a few insights into how nanotechnology has the potential to change medicine, both in the research lab and clinically, while touching on some of the challenges and concerns that it raises. What is Nanotechnology? The prefix "nano" stems from the ancient Greek for "dwarf". Manipulating DNA Therapies that involve the manipulation of individual genes, or the molecular pathways that influence their expression, are increasingly being investigated as an option for treating diseases.
H160 Flight Testing Benefitting From New Tools | Aerospace News: Aviation International News Airbus Helicopters plans to begin offering the new H160 medium twin to prospective customers and possibly signing letters of intent (LOIs) here at the Heli-Expo show. Both development and gearing up for production are taking place at the company’s headquarters in Marignane, France. Entry into service is scheduled for 2018. Eager to see LOIs signed, H160 program chief Bernard Fujarski said the program is mature enough to enter this new phase. Almost all the milestones set for 2015 were met, although the first flight of the second prototype (PT2) did not happen until January this year, a delay due to paperwork, according to Fujarski. Both the dynamic helicopter zero (DHC0) and the system helicopter zero (SHC0) ground testbeds are said to have helped a lot in achieving program maturity. As a result, the monthly utilization of the two prototypes has increased by 20 percent compared to Airbus’s previous development program, at a combined 12 to 14 hours.
New research uncovers the ‘myths’ behind technological solutions to aviation’s climate change crisis -- ScienceDaily A new study published in the journal Transportation Research Part D has explored the ways in which new technologies have been 'hyped' by the aviation industry and media as the key to sustainable air travel, perpetuating a culture of non-accountability for increased emissions and subsequent environmental damage. Researchers from the University of Surrey, in collaboration with NHTV Breda, Netherlands and the University of Otago, New Zealand, explored how new technologies such as alternative fuels, solar flight and a range of aircraft design options are presented by industry and media, alongside the subsequent level of success in practically applying these technologies. The researchers argue that discussion around these technologies creates 'myths' of zero-emission flight, shielding the aviation industry from closer scrutiny of its sustainability policies. "Air travel has experienced substantial growth over the last 40 years.
