Insertion of J stent is a very common procedure performed by urologists. This procedure is often performed to relieve ureteral obstruction due to stones, tumours, ureteral kink, or stricture on urgent basis. An increasing number of urologists are using a flexible cystoscope and local anaesthetic for J stent insertion. Occasionally, the guide wire curls in the bladder, making it impossible to insert the J stent. Here, we describe a simple method to overcome this problem using modified ureteral dilator, which is usually available in the cystoscopy suite.

Abstract. A new technique is described for the analysis of cloud-resolving model simulations, which allows one to investigate the statistics of the lifecycles of cumulus clouds. Clouds are tracked from timestep to timestep within the model run. This allows for a very simple method of tracking, but one which is both comprehensive and robust. An approach for handling cloud splits and mergers is described which allows clouds with simple and complicated time histories to be compared within a single framework. This is found to be important for the analysis of an idealized simulation of radiative-convective equilibrium, in which the moist, buoyant updrafts (i.e., the convective cores) were tracked. Around half of all such cores were subject to splits and mergers during their lifecycles. For cores without any such events, the average lifetime is 30 min, but events can lengthen the typical lifetime considerably.

The publication of a paper describing a method for catheterisation of the pulmonary artery in transposition of the great arteries1 prompts the preliminary report of a technique which we have devised and used successfully in transposition of the great arteries with subpulmonic stenosis. Following the study of the outflow tract of the left ventricle in transposition of the great arteries, a 0.045 I.D. Formocath B.D. catheter* was made out of Hanafee tubing with a curve as illustrated in Figure 1A. It is used as follows: a No. 6 Lehman catheter is passed to the left ventricle. A 220 cm guide wire is inserted through this with the nonflexible end foremost, into the apex of the left ventricle.

This paper proposes a new technique to estimate the center of mass (CoM) of mechanical systems defined by an articulated set of rigid bodies. This technique is based on the use of the statically equivalent serial chain, a serial chain representation on any multi-link branched chain. Through the use of this model, and without any knowledge of each individual body’s CoM or CoM location, a simple method to estimate the mechanical system’s CoM is developed. This method is validated with the CoM estimation of the Hoap-3 humanoid robot. A sensitivity calculation for estimating the CoM in this way is also presented.

Objective: A new technique of direct phonoplasty under local anaesthetic is described.Background: Vocal-fold medialization is an accepted method to improve voice in patients with a paralysed vocal fold. Various materials have been used to inject into the paralysed vocal fold, resulting in medialization of the fold and improved phonation. The two established methods are direct injection under general anaesthetic and transcutaneous injection under local anaesthetic; both have advantages and disadvantages. Method: A Pentax 80K series flexible endoscope is used to directly inject collagen into the paralysed vocal fold via a reusable 23G endoscopic needle under local anaesthetic. Conclusion: New technology and innovation have allowed development of the new technique of direct phonoplasty under local anaesthetic. This combines the advantages of transcutaneous injection under local anaesthetic and direct injection under general anaesthetic, without their disadvantages.

CAPTCHA is a Completely Automated Public Turing Test to tell Computers and Humans Apart [1]. Whenever a website is hosted onto a server it is not human that always tries to access the website. Sometimes a human generated computer bot also known as Zombie may try to access the website. In such situations bots need to be filtered from legitimate users and this can be accomplished by using a simple method called CAPTCHA. Initially CAPTCHA was developed on text-based platform later it was evolved to audio, image etc. In this paper a new technique to differentiate bots from humans is introduced. It is a question-based image-oriented technique where a question comprising of keywords is posed along with four different images out of which only one image has relation with all the keywords. The user needs to spot the image to pass the test. A flag will be counting the number of times the user failed the test and depending on the number of failure attempts the user is judged.
