Abstract:

Background. Video laryngoscopes provide better view and can improve ease of intubation compared with standard laryngoscopes. Methods. A prospective randomized study was done on 60 patients, 18 to 65 years old, comparing McGrath video laryngoscope and Macintosh laryngoscope. The aim was to compare the ease, efficacy, and usability of them during routine airway management. The primary endpoint was duration of intubation and the secondary endpoints were Cormack and Lehane grade of laryngoscopic view, number of intubation attempts, and incidence of complications. Results. There was an increase in total duration of intubation with McGrath video laryngoscope with 42.9 ± 19.5 seconds compared to Macintosh laryngoscope with 17.9 ± 4.6 seconds. In Macintosh group, 73.3% had grade I, 20% had grade II, and 6.7% had grade III Cormack Lehane view, while in McGrath group, 83.3% had grade I, 13.3% had grade II, and 3.3% had grade III. In McGrath group, 6 patients (20%) required more than 120 seconds to get intubated and only 73.3% were intubated in 1 attempt, while patients in Macintosh group had 100% successful intubation in 1 attempt. Pharyngeal trauma was seen with McGrath videolaryngoscopy. Conclusion. Duration of laryngoscopy, intubation, and total duration of intubation were significantly higher in McGrath group than in Macintosh group. McGrath group required a higher number of intubation attempts.

Abstract:

The present article describes an innovative application of microcomputers to provide instruction simultaneously to graduate students on campus and to a group of doctoral students located 100 miles from campus. Using Macintosh Classic II computers and supporting equipment, both groups were taught a two-course sequence on statistical methods over two ten-week quarters. Evaluative data indicated similar academic achievement in both groups and comparable performance to previous sections of the course. Student attitudes were mixed, with students on-campus being more critical of the approach than students off-campus. The instructional approach appears to provide a viable alternative solution to a difficult problem for distance education. The use of Macintosh Classic II computers to facilitate instruction over long distance provides an acceptable compromise between extensive travel by either students or an instructor.

Abstract:

Background: Direct Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation are essential components of administration of general anaesthesia but trigger major stress response, in the form of increased catecholamines leading to tachycardia and hypertension. This study is designed to compare the haemodynamic stress response with the Macintosh, McCoy and Miller blades. Methods: This prospective comparative study was conducted in 150 ASA grade I and II patients, undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anaesthesia from March 2017, were randomly divided into three groups using Macintosh, McCoy and Miller blade for endotracheal intubation respectively. Results: The groups were also comparable in respect to gender, mean age, ASA grade, Cormack and Lehane grade, Laryngoscopic intubation time, baseline heart rate, heart rate before laryngoscopy, baseline mean arterial pressure and Mean Arterial Pressure before laryngoscopy. The mean heart rates at end of 1, 3 and 5 minute were 93.58±13.11, 88.28±11.57 and 83.64±10.94 bpm with Macintosh blade; 93.08±12.09, 94.54±11.87 and 87.50±10.72 bpm with McCoy blades; 108.20±13.94, 95.18±12.75 and 93.22±12.32 bpm with Miller blades. Rise in heart rate as well as mean arterial pressure following intubation was greatest with Miller blade, followed by Macintosh blade and least with McCoy blade and was statistically significant (P< 0.01). Conclusions: Miller blade produced maximum haemodynamic stress response, followed by Macintosh blade and McCoy blade produced the least haemodynamic response, hence the latter is preferable when less haemodynamic response is desired.

Abstract:

Objective. Evaluation of C-MAC PM® in combination with a standard Macintosh blade size 3 in direct and indirect laryngoscopy and D-Blade® in indirect laryngoscopy in a simulated difficult airway. Primary outcome was defined as the best view of the glottic structures. Secondary endpoints were subjective evaluation and assessment of the intubation process. Methods. Prospective monocentric, observational study on 48 adult patients without predictors for difficult laryngoscopy/tracheal intubation undergoing orthopedic surgery. Every participant preoperatively received a cervical collar to simulate a difficult airway. Direct and indirect laryngoscopy w/o the BURP maneuver with a standard Macintosh blade and indirect laryngoscopy w/o the BURP maneuver using D-Blade® were performed to evaluate if blade geometry and the BURP maneuver improve the glottic view as measured by the Cormack-Lehane score. Results. Using a C-MAC PM® laryngoscope, D-Blade® yielded improved glottic views compared with the Macintosh blade used with either the direct or indirect technique. Changing from direct laryngoscopy using a Macintosh blade to indirect videolaryngoscopy using C-MAC PM® with D-Blade® improved the Cormack-Lehane score from IIb, III, or IV to I or II in 31 cases. Conclusion. The combination of C-MAC PM® and D-Blade® significantly enhances the view of the glottis compared to direct laryngoscopy with a Macintosh blade in patients with a simulated difficult airway. Trial Registration Number. This trial is registered under number NCT03403946.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to use a human error model to evaluate a commercially available Macintosh-based graphics application based upon the frequencies and types of mistakes occurring during users' performance of designated tasks. The occurrence of high frequencies of knowledge-based and rule-based mistakes during the learning of an interface element would indicate that the element requires evaluation and possible redesign. This study involved five participants, all of whom were students at Texas A&M University. The participants were experienced Macintosh users with no experience using Macintosh graphics software. The graphics environment of interest was MacDraw II® 1.0 Version 2 (Schutten, Goldsmith, Kaptanoglu, and Spiegel, 1988). Ten drawings created with the program were used to examine participants' cognitive levels and types of errors made throughout the process of familiarizing themselves with this program. The first drawing was created to exemplify simple figures created with the graphics tools in the program to illustrate shading. The second through tenth drawings incorporated these figures in several arrangements. All drawings incorporated eight tools (or tasks), and each tool was used only once in each drawing. The results indicated significant differences in frequencies of error types, frequencies of errors between tasks and frequencies of errors between trials. There were also interactions between trial and error, and task and error.

Abstract:

Background: The McCoy Laryngoscope in comparison to macintosh laryngoscope requires less force for performing laryngoscopy and as a result may alter the associated hemodynamic response. Perfusion index (PI) is a noninvasive numerical value of peripheral perfusion obtained from a pulse oximeter.Methods: A randomized prospective single blind comparative clinical study was conducted on 80 patients of ASA physical status I-II aged between 18 years to 58 years of either sex with body mass index (B.M.I) between 20 and 25 undergoing elective surgeries under general anesthesia. 80 patients were divided into 2 groups: Group A (n=40)- Tracheal Intubation with Macintosh Laryngoscope, Group B (n=40)-Tracheal Intubation with McCoy Laryngoscope. Blood Pressure (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and mean arterial pressure) and heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (SpO2) via pulse oximeter were monitored.Results: The demographic profile showed no significant difference between the groups. Heart rate, systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure had highly significant difference in both groups. Perfusion index was statistically significant immediately post laryngoscopy and intubation till 4 mins. Immediately after laryngoscopy and intubation, the correlation between PI and MAP was statistically significant and it was a negative average to good correlation.Conclusions: The McCoy laryngoscope elicits lesser haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation as compared to Macintosh laryngoscope in normotensive patients. Perfusion index can also serve as an additional parameter to assess hemodynamic response since it has good negative correlation with the mean arterial pressure.

Abstract:

This month, we provide an example of a rich mathematical task that leads to many different connections. The task was posed to a class of high school seniors who were using a dynamic program for geometry called Cabri Geometry II. This tip includes directions for creating this problem with technology and suggestions for exploring it. The Cabri II software is available for Macintosh and PC computers from www.cabrilog.com/en or education.ti.com. It is also available for several different Texas Instruments calculators (TI-83 Plus, TI-83 Plus Silver, Voyage 200, TI-89, and TI-92 Plus). The program is similar to The Geometer's Sketchpad, and users who are familiar with The Geometer's Sketchpad should be able to easily adapt this task to use with it.

Abstract:

Abstract Background The aims of this study are to characterize (1) the cadaver intubation biomechanics, including the effect of repeated intubations, and (2) the relation between intubation force and the motion of an injured cervical segment. Methods Fourteen cadavers were serially intubated using force-sensing Macintosh and Airtraq laryngoscopes in random order, with simultaneous cervical spine motion recorded with lateral fluoroscopy. Motion of the C1-C2 segment was measured in the intact and injured state (type II odontoid fracture). Injured C1-C2 motion was proportionately corrected for changes in intubation forces that occurred with repeated intubations. Results Cadaver intubation biomechanics were comparable with those of patients in all parameters other than C2-C5 extension. In cadavers, intubation force (set 2/set 1 force ratio = 0.61; 95% CI, 0.46 to 0.81; P = 0.002) and Oc-C5 extension (set 2 − set 1 difference = −6.1 degrees; 95% CI, −11.4 to −0.9; P = 0.025) decreased with repeated intubations. In cadavers, C1-C2 extension did not differ (1) between intact and injured states; or (2) in the injured state, between laryngoscopes (with and without force correction). With force correction, in the injured state, C1-C2 subluxation was greater with the Airtraq (mean difference 2.8 mm; 95% CI, 0.7 to 4.9 mm; P = 0.004). Conclusions With limitations, cadavers may be clinically relevant models of intubation biomechanics and cervical spine motion. In the setting of a type II odontoid fracture, C1-C2 motion during intubation with either the Macintosh or the Airtraq does not appear to greatly exceed physiologic values or to have a high likelihood of hyperextension or direct cord compression.

Abstract:

✓ The authors describe a method for quantitation of the area and volume of the resection cavity in patients who have undergone surgery for brain tumors. Using a slide scanner and Image 1.27, a public domain program for the Apple Macintosh II computer, computerized tomography scans and magnetic resonance images can be digitized and analyzed for a particular region of interest, such as the area and volume of tumor on preoperative and postresection scans. Phantom scans were used to analyze the accuracy of the program and the program users. User error was estimated at 2%, program error was 4.5%. This methodology is proposed as a means of retrospectively calculating the extent of tumor resection.

Abstract:

The probability that routine hematological laboratory tests of liver and pancreatic function can discriminate between malignant and benign pancreatic tumours, incidentally detected during operation, was investigated. The records of 53 patients with a verified diagnosis of pancreatic carcinoma and 19 patients with chronic pancreatitis were reviewed with regard to preoperative total bilirubin, direct reacting bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, glutamyltranspeptidase, aminotransferases, lactic dehydrogenase and amylase. Multivariate and discriminant analysis were performed to calculate the predictive value for cancer, using SYSTAT statistical package in a Macintosh II computer. Total and direct reacting bilirubin and glutamyltranspeptidase were significantly higher in patients with pancreatic carcinoma. However, only considerably increased levels of direct reating bilirubin were predictive of pancreatic carcinoma.

Abstract:

A method has been developed that allows on-line measurement of the thickness of crystalline materials in the analytical electron microscope. Two-beam convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED) patterns are digitized from a JEOL 2000FX electron microscope into an Apple Macintosh II microcomputer via a Gatan #673 CCD Video Camera and an Imaging Systems Technology Video 1000 frame-capture board. It is necessary to know the lattice parameters of the sample since measurements are made of the spacing of the diffraction discs in order to calibrate the pattern. The sample thickness is calculated from measurements of the spacings of the fringes that are seen in the diffraction discs. This technique was pioneered by Kelly et al, who used the two-beam dynamic theory of MacGillavry relate the deviation parameter (Si) of the ith fringe from the exact Bragg condition to the specimen thickness (t) with the equation:Where ξg, is the extinction distance for that reflection and ni is an integer.

Abstract:

Spreadsheet programs, such as Microsoft Excel, Informix WINGZ, and Lotus 123, provide a framework for very fast and easy development of simple engineering models. The present paper describes a model of the continuous casting process that has been developed using a spreadsheet program, Microsoft Excel, running on a Macintosh II personal computer. The model consists of two-dimensional (2-D) steady-state finite-difference heat conduction calculations within a continuous casting mold coupled to a one-dimensional (1-D) transient solidification heat transfer model of the solidifying shell. The model structure and equations are described and the model predictions are compared with previous solutions. Practical examples using the model are discussed and sample results are provided. Spreadsheet programs running on personal computers are capable of relatively complex calculations that would require extensive effort using conventional programming languages.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVEBecause of limitations inherent to cadaver models of endotracheal intubation, the authors’ group developed a finite element (FE) model of the human cervical spine and spinal cord. Their aims were to 1) compare FE model predictions of intervertebral motion during intubation with intervertebral motion measured in patients with intact cervical spines and in cadavers with spine injuries at C-2 and C3–4 and 2) estimate spinal cord strains during intubation under these conditions.METHODSThe FE model was designed to replicate the properties of an intact (stable) spine in patients, C-2 injury (Type II odontoid fracture), and a severe C3–4 distractive-flexion injury from prior cadaver studies. The authors recorded the laryngoscope force values from 2 different laryngoscopes (Macintosh, high intubation force; Airtraq, low intubation force) used during the patient and cadaver intubation studies. FE-modeled motion was compared with experimentally measured motion, and corresponding cord strain values were calculated.RESULTSFE model predictions of intact intervertebral motions were comparable to motions measured in patients and in cadavers at occiput–C2. In intact subaxial segments, the FE model more closely predicted patient intervertebral motions than did cadavers. With C-2 injury, FE-predicted motions did not differ from cadaver measurements. With C3–4 injury, however, the FE model predicted greater motions than were measured in cadavers. FE model cord strains during intubation were greater for the Macintosh laryngoscope than the Airtraq laryngoscope but were comparable among the 3 conditions (intact, C-2 injury, and C3–4 injury).CONCLUSIONSThe FE model is comparable to patients and cadaver models in estimating occiput–C2 motion during intubation in both intact and injured conditions. The FE model may be superior to cadavers in predicting motions of subaxial segments in intact and injured conditions.

Abstract:

A perspectiva da Psicologia Social, sob o enfoque da teoria das representações sociais, apresenta outro olhar para a discussão sobre as concepções alternativas dos estudantes. Neste intuito, retomo a análise dos principais resultados de uma pesquisa realizada no ano de 1996, na qual se identificaram os elementos que constituem o campo da representação do objeto social ciência física pelos professores que ministram essa disciplina no Ensino Médio. Na pesquisa foram realizadas 66 entrevistas semiestruturadas com professores de 17 escolas públicas na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. O referencial teórico/metodológico utilizado foi a análise categorial temática, com o suporte do programa de documentação de texto Data Collector (para HyperCard, Macintosh) e da abordagem das representações sociais. Os resultados apontaram a presença de dois polos de representação: i) realismo crítico, apoiado na visão contemporânea das ciências, ii) realismo ingênuo, correspondente à maioria dos entrevistados, sustentado em idéias intuitivas.

Abstract:

Procedures for detailed mapping of a large number of soil features in small landscape units displayed in either vertical cross section (i.e. soil toposequences) or horizontal plane (i.e. soil maps) are presented. Rom hand coloured drawings that display the soil-landscape features, an Apple Macintosh Computer, with Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Patterns and Textures programs, is used to produce high quality coloured maps ready for reproduction in any form (e.g. posters, publications, slides or overhead transparencies). The first step is to produce the detailed computer map with all soil features included. This detailed computer map is made up of the following three layers or bases: (i) a black linework and lettering base, (ii) a polygon base filled with black and white textures, and (iii) a polygon base filled with colours. The detailed computer map, saved as the master file, is very easily modified to generate more simplified and thematic maps by: (i) grouping soil features into larger soil components in order to display soil-landscapes in a more simplified form, (ii) deleting certain soil-landscape components in order to highlight specific soil features, and (iii) adding newly aquired information (e.g. chemical and hydrological data) to previous versions.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper – PART II – is to present the lived experiences of Sensuous Organisational Learning drawn from the educational practices and learning culture of the Norwegian Defence University College, Royal Norwegian Air Force Academy’s (RNoAFA) approach to growing (Military) leaders. Design/methodology/approach The paper reflects the co-creation of actionable knowledge between military officers, academics at the RNoAFA and international scholars engaged as research collaborators. The objective is to present the benefits of “practising knowing through dialogical exchange” (MacIntosh et al., 2012) as an approach to co-creating knowledge for responsible action. In this case, the authors present the conceptualisation and illustration of the idea of the New Learning Organisation they advance. Findings The Sensuous Organisational Learning – 8As framework explains how Attentiveness, Alertness, Awareness, Appreciation, Anticipation, Alignment, Activation and Agility form an integral part of the educational strategy that enables the RNoAFA to respond to the wider Educational Reforms and Modernisation programme of Norwegian Defence. The RNoAFA is presented as an illustration of how the New Learning Organisation serves the common good if Institutional Reflexivity and High Agility Organising were key aspects of the Learning Leadership it fosters. Research limitations/implications Consistent with MacIntosh et al.’s (2012) dialogical exchanges the authors present the relational and intersubjective nature of meaningful dialogue between the co-authors that provides scope for integrative stories of practice. The resulting illustrative example of the New Learning Organisation, is an account of the learning experienced. Hence, this paper is presented neither as a traditional empirical paper nor as a self-disclosing or even auto-ethnographic account. Instead, it is one of a series of research outputs from innovative research collaboration between the authors all committed to “practising knowing”. Practical implications The New Learning Organisation promoted here focuses on responsible action to serve the common good. Investing in Institutional Reflexivity becomes critical in continuing to broaden the ways of being and becoming. As individuals, communities and organisations, that comprise the institution (in this case Norwegian Defence) grow and elevate their practical judgements to serve the common good the capacity to engage in reflexive critique heightens organisational agility and leadership. Social implications Embedding care as the essence of learning not only enables accepting mistakes and owning up to these mistakes, but reinforcing the strength of character in doing so demonstrating what it means to be resilient, flexible and ready to respond to the VUCA. This is what permits High Agility Organising to foster learning on an ongoing basis driving the commitment to continually renew operational and professional practices. By focussing on how the common good can be better served, the New Learning Organisation cares to pursue the higher purpose that social actions must serve. Originality/value Advancing leadership as a personal, relational and organisational quality supported by an orientation towards practising goes beyond single, double and triple loop learning. In doing so, the Learning Leadership that drives the New Learning Organisation energises Attentiveness, Alertness, Awareness, Appreciation, Anticipation, Alignment, Activation and Agility. This paper marks a new chapter in Organisational Learning research and practice by demonstrating the value of sensuousness as a foundation for improving the practical judgements across professional practices.

Abstract:

Abstract Summary Hayai-Annotation Plants is a browser-based interface for an ultra-fast and accurate functional gene annotation system for plant species using R. The pipeline combines the sequence-similarity searches, using USEARCH against UniProtKB (taxonomy Embryophyta), with a functional annotation step. Hayai-Annotation Plants provides five layers of annotation: i) protein name; ii) gene ontology terms consisting of its three main domains (Biological Process, Molecular Function and Cellular Component); iii) enzyme commission number; iv) protein existence level; and v) evidence type. It implements a new algorithm that gives priority to protein existence level to propagate GO and EC information and annotated Arabidopsis thaliana representative peptide sequences (Araport11) within 5 min at the PC level. Availability and implementation The software is implemented in R and runs on Macintosh and Linux systems. It is freely available at https://github.com/kdri-genomics/Hayai-Annotation-Plants under the GPLv3 license. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Abstract:

Twenty-three students of HORT 2212: Herbaceous Ornamental Plants divided into five teams, each selecting one of the ground beds at the television studio gardens of Oklahoma Gardening to design with the aid of MacDraw II and Macintosh computers. The team approach promoted cooperative learning, where those who were skilled in design worked cooperatively with those individuals more skilled at developing the theme gardens' cultural pamphlets. This project encouraged individual students to develop various communication skills to support their team's thematic garden-visual, in the form of a CAD plot of the garden design; written, in the form of a garden pamphlet; and telecommunication, in the form of Oklahoma Gardening television segments. The students and OBGA Ambassadors started the seeds and, then, planted the gardens, resulting in a very practical experience. This design and installation project not only prepared students for the cooperative efforts that they are likely to encounter in the ornamental horticulture and landscape design and maintenance industries, but also imparted pride in their work, which was viewed by over 150,000 television viewers and visitors weekly.

Abstract:

Fibreoptic intubation, high frequency jet ventilation, and videolaryngoscopy form part of the Royal College of Anaesthetists compulsory higher airway training module. Curriculum delivery requires equipment availability and competent trainers. We sought to establish (1) availability of advanced airway equipment in UK hospitals (Survey I) and (2) if those interested in airway management (Difficult Airway Society (DAS) members) had access to videolaryngoscopes, their basic skill levels and teaching competence with these devices and if they believed that videolaryngoscopy was replacing conventional or fibreoptic laryngoscopy (Survey II). Data was obtained from 212 hospitals (73.1%) and 554 DAS members (27.6%). Most hospitals (202, 99%) owned a fiberscope, 119 (57.5%) had a videolaryngoscope, yet only 62 (29.5%) had high frequency jet ventilators. DAS members had variable access to videolaryngoscopes with Airtraq 319 (59.6%) and Glidescope 176 (32.9%) being the most common. More DAS members were happy to teach or use videolaryngoscopes in a difficult airway than those who had used them more than ten times. The majority rated Macintosh laryngoscopy as the most important airway skill. Members rated fibreoptic intubation and videolaryngoscopy skills equally. Our surveys demonstrate widespread availability of fibreoptic scopes, limited availability of videolaryngoscopes, and limited numbers of experienced videolaryngoscope tutors.

Abstract:

A new interactive image analysis method for determining tree-ring density and width data for dendrochronological studies is described. The method employs the Prism Image Analysis System (from Dapple Systems, Inc.) for Apple Macintosh microcomputers and uses additional FORTRAN software (program MACDRUID) developed for tree-ring applications. The principal advantages of this system are (i) interactive image analysis, which substitutes computer software for the complex scanning densitometer operations used in previous systems and (ii) high resolution, which is necessary for processing the narrow-ringed, stressed trees often sampled in dendroclimatology. Other advantages are real-time editing, ease of adjustment for angle variation of ring boundaries, and the ability to append individual frame data into homogeneous time series. Comparisons of ring-width and density data determined by this image analysis system with similar measurements derived from other methods indicate that the image analysis data are of equal precision and quality for use in dendrochronological studies. In addition to applications in the fields of dendrochronology and wood science, this image analysis method is applicable for analyzing variations in cyclical banding in other types of geological samples, such as sediment laminae (e.g., varves) and corals.
