IMMIView is an interactive system that rely on multiple modality and multi-user interaction to support collaborative design review. It was designed to offer natural interaction in visualization setups such as large scale displays, head mounted displays or TabletPC computers. To support architectural design, our system provides content creation and manipulation, 3D scene navigation and annotatio...

At times in their interfirm relationships, distribution channel organizations may take advantage of their exchange partners by behaving guilefully. This opportunistic behavior adversely impacts channel member satisfaction (Gassenheimer et al., 1996) as well as the relational exchange norms among channel partners (Gundlach et al., 1995; Sindhav & Lusch, 2008). It also increases transaction costs...

Inhaled vasodilator therapy for pulmonary hypertension may decrease the systemic side effects commonly observed with systemic administration. Inhaled medications only reach ventilated areas of the lung so local vasodilation may improve ventilation/perfusion matching and oxygenation. We compared the effects of intravenous versus aerosolized treprostinil on pulmonary and systemic hemodynamics in ...

Inhibition of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity in vivo impedes hypertrophy in the overloaded rat plantaris. We investigated the mechanism for this effect by examining early events leading to muscle growth following 5 or 12d of functional overload. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (~350g) were randomly divided into three treatment groups: Control, L-NAME (N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester; 90mg/kg/d),...

Acetylcholine (ACh) regulates arousal and the present study was designed to provide insight into the neurochemical mechanisms modulating ACh release in the pontine reticular formation. Nitric oxide-releasing beads microinjected into the pontine reticular formation of C57BL/6J (B6) mouse caused a significant (p<0.0001) increase in ACh release. Microdialysis delivery of the nitric oxide donor NOC...

Presenter: Chaya Shwaartz MD | University Health Network, Toronto General Hospital Background: Laparoscopic resection of segment 8 liver lesions is technically challenging due to the anatomical complexity as well location in dome liver1. In fact, resections are considered be one most laparoscopic resections2–4. Additionally, expertise surgery needed safely expose and dissect hepatic veins. We p...
