Injuries associated with opening and closing of garage doors

Injury data were obtained from the database of the Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP). CHIRPP is an injury surveillance system operating in the emergency departments of 10 pediatric and 4 general hospitals in Canada. Data collection began in April 1990 at the pediatric hospitals and between 1991 and 1995 in the general hospitals. CHIRPP is a program of the Injur...

Closing the doors of perception.

ANESTHESIOLOGY is a discipline that is uniquely placed to contribute to the preeminent scientific quest of this century–namely the understanding of the neurologic mechanisms that underpin the phenomena of consciousness. The operating room is the crucible in which any putative theory should be tested. While acknowledging that there are arguments as to whether rapid eye movement sleep is really a...

Phenotype–genotype complexities: opening DOORS

The escalating pace of molecular genetic discoveries in neurological diseases is repeatedly providing surprises that challenge our ability to match phenotype and genotype. With the current transition of whole-exome sequencing from the laboratory to clinical use, the ability to understand and interpret molecular-level data becomes ever more important. The classic view of one gene encoding one pr...

Opening Doors in Motion Analysis Research

This paper discusses the use of motion analysis techniques to establish a computational model of human motion. As a test case, we discuss an experiment that analyzes combined navigation and manipulation motions performed by human subjects. In this particular experiment, we have analyzed the action of walking to a door and opening the door in different settings. We have looked at different varia...
