Is there a distinction between withholding and withdrawing medical treatment at the end of life? In the past two decades, courts and bioethicists in most Western countries have rejected this distinction. However, some doctors, patients, and families still find the distinction to have important ethical implications. A proposed Israeli law offers a unique approach that attempts to respect the cul...

An optimization method is introduced for generating minimum-length test sequences taking into account timing constraints for FSM models of communication protocols. Due to active timers in many of today's protocols, the number of consecutive self-loops that can be traversed in a given state before a timeout occurs is limited. A test sequence that does not consider timing constraints will likely ...
متن کاملPortable ventilators
Mechanical ventilators used in intensive care units are sophisticated devices. The guiding principle in their design is the provision of optimal lung ventilation. They incorporate precise but sizeable pneumatic components intended to utilize piped gases and mains electricity. However, when transporting patients receiving ventilatory support, these devices are rarely suitable because of their si...
متن کاملUpdate on modalities of mechanical ventilators.
Recent advances in ventilator technology have often not been confirmed by randomised trials and instead serious shortcomings have been highlighted. Ventilation modes should only be introduced into routine clinical practice when proved efficacious in appropriately designed studies and no adverse outcomes identified by long term follow up.
متن کاملThe effects of noninvasive ventilators on COPD
controversial because of their obscure mechanisms. A randomized crossover study, using iron lung and positive pressure nasal ventilation (BiPAP) each for 40 mm, was performed in 11 stable patients with severe COPD. Throughout the study, we monitored surface EMGdi, EMGst, ECG, Sa05, ETCO2, and the movements of RC and tB. Afterwards the data were replayed to calculate VT, RR, PR, VT/TI, iEMG, and...
