Putting technology into context

Into(context) is a design research project developed by the design for sustainability group of Delft Univesity of Technology, Kiva.Org and funded by Microsoft Research's Digital inclusion initiative. The initiative had as its goal to fund investigations of the role information & communication technology (ICT) can play in creating solutions for overcoming the myriad barriers facing the devolpment world. During six months design researchers worked directly with Kiva.Org and four of its existing microfinance partners in Uganda and Kenya to develop an appropriate technology solution to facilitate the use of their online lending platform. The solution needed to meet the needs of their users and be congruous with the context of east Africa. This project has demonstrated the strength of a people centered approach to technology and the potential of the cellphone to serve as a legitimate platform to faclitate web based activities

Fulminant Clostridium difficile Enteritis after Proctocolectomy and Ileal Pouch-Anal Anastamosis

Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infection of the small bowel is very rare. The disease course is more severe than that of C. difficile colitis, and the mortality is high. We present a case of C. difficile enteritis in a patient with ileal pouch-anal anastamosis (IPAA), and review previous case reports in order to better characterize this unusual condition
