The rubbery protein resilin appears to form an integral part of the energy storage structures that enable many insects to jump by using a catapult mechanism. In plant sucking bugs that jump (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha), the energy generated by the slow contractions of huge thoracic jumping muscles is stored by bending composite bow-shaped parts of the internal thoracic skeleton. Sudden recoil o...

subject. The style is concise; but reads more like a student's note-book than a finished literary work. The diagrams are excellent, some parts of the subject are fairly completely dealt with ; but, the account of the Histology of the nervous system is very meagre and the diagrams few. The chapter on Technique is not sufficiently comprehensive and no mention is made of frozen sections of fresh t...

Virtual pathology is a very important tool that can be used in several ways, including interconsultations with specialists in many areas and for frozen sections. We considered in this work the use of Windows Live Messenger and Skype for image transmission. The conference was made through wide broad internet using Nikon E 200 microscope and Digital Samsung Colour SCC-131 camera. Internet speed f...

The aim of this paper is to describe the experiments carried out to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of a dynamic-robotic telepathology system for the delivery of pathology services to distant hospitals. The system provides static/dynamic features and the remote control of a robotized microscope over 4 ISDN lines. For evaluation purposes, 184 consecutive cases of frozen sections (60), gastroint...

of extra-uterine gestation which simulated a retroversion of the pregnant uterus. The frozen section which I laid before the Society showed how certainty in diagnosis from physical signs was during life impossible. A case of a similar nature came under my observation last summer in Ward 28. I have to thank Dr Halliday Croom and Dr Ferguson for particulars of the history of the case before it ca...
