  • Visual Disorders
CONT

Sickle cell retinopathy is present in some patients with sickle cell disease. In sickle cell retinopathy, blockage of blood vessels in the retina and choroid... results in abnormal blood vessel growth and thinning of the retina.... Sickle cell maculopathy, which affects the center part of the retina, occurs when there is decreased blood flow to this part of the eye. This abnormal blood flow causes patches of retinal thinning... Patients will sometimes note blind spots as a result.

CONT

La drépanocytose est une maladie systémique hématologique induisant la survenue d'événements vaso-occlusifs de divers organes cibles. Sur le plan oculaire, l'atteinte rétinienne se caractérise par des occlusions préférentiellement artérielles et de la vascularisation terminale, pouvant se compliquer de néovascularisation périphérique. Longtemps ignorée, la maculopathie drépanocytaire est désormais bien caractérisée grâce à l'imagerie multimodale[. Une] étude de cas suggère que la maculopathie drépanocytaire, caractérisée par des amincissements rétiniens focaux, proviendrait d'une ischémie du plexus capillaire rétinien profond, à l'origine d'une atrophie tissulaire séquellaire.

  • Visual Disorders
CONT

Age-related macular degeneration is the most common cause of severe loss of eyesight among people 50 and older. Only the center of vision is affected with this disease. It is important to realize that people rarely go blind from it. AMD affects the central vision, and with it, the ability to see fine details. In AMD, a part of the retina called the macula is damaged. In advanced stages, people lose their ability to drive, to see faces, and to read smaller print. In its early stages, AMD may have no signs or symptoms, so people may not suspect they have it.

OBS

Age-related macular degeneration is the late stage of age-related maculopathy.

Subject field(s)
  • Visual Disorders
CONT

Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common refractive error that can be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or surgery. It is a growing concern, especially as more severe myopia is associated with a type of macular degeneration known as myopic macular degeneration(MMD). This degenerative condition specifically targets the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for central, straight-ahead vision.... Individuals with severe myopia, often referred to as "high myopia"(typically-6 diopters or more), are at a higher risk for developing MMD... MMD is an incurable condition that occurs when the elongation of the eyeball stretches the retina, leading to the eventual death of macular cells and the formation of a blind spot in the center of the visual field.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Troubles de la vision
CONT

Dégénérescence maculaire myopique. Les myopies supérieures à -10 dioptries présentent un risque élevé de dégénérescence maculaire atrophique (ainsi que de glaucome, de cataracte ou de décollement de rétine). Les altérations maculaires évoluées sont visibles sous forme de zones d'atrophie choriorétinienne étendue, bien limitées, centrées sur la macula, souvent associées à un staphylome postérieur.

A thermal vacuum test on the first flight vehicle of the H-II Transfer Vehicle(HTV) has been carried out at the Spacecraft Integration and Test Building at the Tsukuba Space Center. The purpose of the test is to evaluate the thermal design of the structure and to verify its endurance in the harsh environment of space by stimulating the vacuum and thermal environment in space. Thermal vacuum test for the Pressurized Carrier and Unpressurized Carrier have already been completed, and the main part of Avionics Module and Propulsion Module combined is now in the 13-meter diameter space chamber for testing.

The Glenn Research Center is a NASA center, located in Cleveland, Ohio between Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and the Rocky River Reservation(Part of the Cleveland Metroparks). Glenn is a NASA research center, whose primary mission is to develop science and technology for use in aeronautics and space. It was established in 1942 as part of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics(NACA) and was later incorporated into the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) as a laboratory for aircraft engine research. It was initially named the Aircraft Engine Research Laboratory after funding approval was given in June 1940. It was renamed the Flight Propulsion Research Laboratory in 1947, the Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory in 1948 and the NASA Lewis Research Center in 1958. On march 1, 1999, the Lewis Research Center was officially renamed the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field after John Glenn(American fighter pilot, astronaut and politician) and George W. Lewis(head of NASA from 1919 to 1947).

CONT

Thermal flying. When the sun warms the ground, it will warm some features more than others(such as rocks or factories), and these set off thermals which rise through the air.... Once a pilot finds a thermal, he or she begins to fly in a circle, trying to center the circle on the strongest part of the thermal, where the air is rising the fastest. Most pilots use a ’vario’(vario-altimeter), which indicates climb rate with beeps and/or a visual display, to help ’core-in’ on a thermal. Good thermal flying is a skill which takes time to learn, but a good pilot can often follow a thermal up to a cloud base.

CONT

The Beetle is designed for all kinds of flying, from ridge soaring to thermaling and cross country flying.

CONT

One of the most common problems pilots have is maintaining a consistent circle while thermalling.

A Project by the International Development Research Center(IDRC). "Quick access to medical information is essential for quality patient care, medical research, and monitoring health trends. But in many parts of the developing world, obtaining information has been difficult, if not impossible, due to poor communications infrastructure, economic conditions, or disasters. This information gap has been reduced thanks to a reliable, inexpensive health information system called HealthNet. Today HealthNet provides health-care professionals even in remote areas of the South with medical information that was previously unattainable. The network is active in more than 30 developing nations(including 22 African countries), with more countries scheduled to join in the near future. Partly funded by IDRC, HealthNet uses radio-and telephone-based computer networks and a low-earth-orbit satellite to transfer medical information from one part of the world to developing countries and vice versa.

Toutefois, dans nombre de pays en développement, pareil accès est depuis longtemps difficile, voire impossible, en raison d'une infrastructure de communications déficiente, d'une mauvaise conjoncture ou de catastrophes naturelles. On peut désormais combler cette lacune grâce à un système fiable et peu coûteux d'information sur la santé, appelé HealthNet. Aujourd'hui, HealthNet fournit aux professionnels de la santé, même dans les régions éloignées du Sud, de l'information sanitaire auparavant inaccessible. Le réseau a été mis en service dans plus de 30 pays en développement (dont 22 pays d'Afrique) et d'autres devraient y adhérer bientôt. Financé en partie par le CRDI, HealthNet utilise les réseaux informatiques fonctionnant par téléphonie et radio-communication ainsi qu'un satellite en basse orbite pour transférer des données médicales d'une région du monde à des pays en développement, et vice versa.»

Its major function is to act as a multi-axis "float", allowing positional and angular misalignments between parts to be accommodated. The RCC allows a gripped part to rotate about its tip or to translate without rotating when pushed laterally at its tip. It enables successful mating between two parts, a tool and a part, a part and a fixture, a tool and a tool holder, and many other mating pairs.
