    ISML: an interface specification meta-language

    Get PDF
    In this paper we present an abstract metaphor model situated within a model-based user interface framework. The inclusion of metaphors in graphical user interfaces is a well established, but mostly craft-based strategy to design. A substantial body of notations and tools can be found within the model-based user interface design literature, however an explicit treatment of metaphor and its mappings to other design views has yet to be addressed. We introduce the Interface Specification Meta-Language (ISML) framework and demonstrate its use in comparing the semantic and syntactic features of an interactive system. Challenges facing this research are outlined and further work proposed

    Excursion of the Rotator Cuff Under the Acromion

    Nine fresh-frozen, human cadaveric shoulders were el evated in the scapular plane in two different humeral rotations by applying forces along action lines of rotator cuff and deltoid muscles. Stereophotogrammetry deter mined possible regions of subacromial contact using a proximity criterion; radiographs measured acromio humeral interval and position of greater tuberosity. Con tact starts at the anterolateral edge of the acromion at 0Ā° of elevation; it shifts medially with arm elevation. On the humeral surface, contact shifts from proximal to dis tal on the supraspinatus tendon with arm elevation. When external rotation is decreased, distal and poste rior shift in contact is noted. Acromial undersurface and rotator cuff tendons are in closest proximity between 60Ā° and 120Ā° of elevation; contact was consistently more pronounced for Type III acromions. Mean acro miohumeral interval was 11.1 mm at 0Ā° of elevation and decreased to 5.7 mm at 90Ā°, when greater tuberosity was closest to the acromion. Radiographs show bone- to-bone relationship; stereophotogrammetry assesses contact on soft tissues of the subacromial space. Con tact centers on the supraspinatus insertion, suggesting altered excursion of the greater tuberosity may initially damage this rotator cuff region. Conditions limiting ex ternal rotation or elevation may also increase rotator cuff compression. Marked increase in contact with Type III acromions supports the role of anterior acromioplasty when clinically indicated, usually in older patients with primary impingement.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/67283/2/10.1177_036354659402200609.pd

    Hyperlactatemia After Intracranial Tumor Surgery Does Not Affect 6-Month Survival: A Retrospective Case Series

    BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing neurosurgery frequently exhibit hyperlactatemia. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with hyperlactatemia and assess how hyperlactatemia impacts survival and hospital length of stay after intracranial tumor surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included 496 adult patients that underwent surgery between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2015. We evaluated patient characteristics, surgery characteristics, pH, lactate, and blood glucose from blood samples collected on admission to the high-dependency unit and the morning after surgery, and 6-month outcome data. RESULTS: Hyperlactatemia (>2.0ā€‰mmol/L) occurred in >50% of patients, but only 7.7% had acidosis. Postoperative hyperlactatemia was not correlated with 6-month survival (P=0.987), but was correlated with (median [interquartile range]) longer hospital stays (6 [4 to 8.5]ā€‰d vs. 5 [4 to 8]ā€‰d; P=0.006), longer surgery duration (4:53 [4:01 to 6:18
