During the last years, a new field has attracted the interest of robotic researchers. Minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy, have grown as a very suitable domain for robotic systems. In this field, one of the easiest application for robotics is the movement of the endoscopic camera. That kind of robots [7][6] aims to move the camera from outside the patient’s abdomen to get the ima...

New Canadian telemedicine technology being tested in an underwater laboratory off the coast of Key Largo in Florida could be used to deliver emergency diagnostic and surgical care to astronauts in space — and to patients in remote areas on Earth. On Oct. 11, North Bay surgeon Dr. Craig McKinley and 3 astronauts-turned-aquanauts will enter the 3 × 14-metre underwater chamber Aquarius for a 10day...

Electronic mentoring (e-mentoring) programs are providing unprecedented opportunities for establishing mentoring relationships. E-mentoring is the merger of mentoring with electronic communications and links mentors with proteges independent of geography or scheduling constrains. Unique qualities of electronic communications, such as the attenuation of status differences and the ease of thought...
