Inspired by the work of Eva Hild, I have developed some auxiliary CAD programs and design processes that make it easier to model her undulating free-form sculptures on a computer, so that similar looking maquettes can be fabricated on a 3D printer. A special focus has been placed on trying to make single-sided 2-manifolds in a similar style.

Despite extensive literature on the pathophysiology and pharmacology of ADHD, there is a dearth of information to guide behavioral health care of culturally diverse populations. This is particularly concerning, given the rapid growth of ethnic minority populations in the US and health disparities in these populations.2 Although differences in prevalence of pediatric ADHD among ethnicities are n...

Craniosynostosis is defined as the premature closure of the cranial sutures resulting in characteristic skull deformities. It is a rather frequent craniofacial malformation estimated to affect 1 in 2500 newborns [1]. There is a great variability in both phenotype and the underlying causes. Premature synostosis of the cranial sutures can occur either isolated (non-syndromic) or as part of a Eva-...

A number of articles have highlighted the dilemma facing those involved with the design of treatment programmes for patients with curable tumours, in whom long term survival necessitates the avoidance, if possible, of late sequelae.' 2 Nowhere is this problem more apparent than in the management of paediatric cancer. With almost 60% of children who have been treated for cancer in the past decad...

Transoral robotic surgery (TORS), performed with the da Vinci surgical system (da Vinci), has been classified as a surgical approach for benign and malignant lesions of the oral cavity and laryngopharynx. It provides several unique advantages, which include a three-dimensional magnified view, ability to see and work around curves or angles, and the availability of two or three robotic arms. At ...

Some years ago, prior to human use of new cosmetic products, in vivo animal tests were conducted in order to screen for safety and efficacy. The tenets of ethical animal testing call for practice of the three R\’s of refinement, reduction and replacement of animal tests. Therefore, a growing need exists for rapid and reliable in vitro methods for safety and efficacy screening of new dermato-cos...
