ATOS is the least common form of TOS [thoracic outlet syndrome]... However, of the TOS subtypes, ATOS has the greatest potential for serious complications, and therefore surgical intervention is promptly warranted in patients demonstrating arterial compression. Thoracic outlet compression on the subclavian artery(SCA) can cause poststenotic dilation, leading to aneurysm formation, which can result in distal thromboembolism and further ischemic complications. Embolization to the arm or hand is common in patients with ATOS, usually causing discoloration of the affected upper extremity.... Patients can present in several ways, but all have in common an abnormality at the SCA usually combined with a bony abnormality.

Requisitions on title... may be further subdivided into requisitions going to the root of the title and other requisitions on title... The relevance of the distinction lies in the application of the clause limiting the time within which requisitions may be made. Where the requisition does not go to the root of title this provision tends to be applied strictly. Where, on the other hand, the requisition does go to the root of title, the requisition may be made after the time stipulated by the contract and the provisions of the contract will not result in the purchaser being deemed to have accepted the defect in question.(Law Society of Upper Canada, Bar Admission Course, Real Estate Law, 1990-1991, p. 8-2).

How to perform the Smith machine deadlift. First, set up the Smith bar on the floor with the desired weight you want to lift. Walk up to the bar so that your shins are directly against the Smith bar. Squat down towards the bar until your upper thigh is parallel to the floor. Next, grab the bar with a mixed grip with one hand overhand and one hand underhand. Now, drive your hips upward by contracting your quads and glutes. You are attempting to bring the weight upwards as you stand up. As the bar is being lifted off of the floor, begin to straighten your back up so that it is fully erect. This will utilize the muscles in the back. Once your have reached full standing position, slowly lower the weight back toward the floor.

EVA Gloves(left and right). If you look at the bottom of an EVA glove, you’ll see that it has a ring. This ring is used to snap onto the sleeve of the upper torso. It also contains a wrist bearing that is used to help the astronaut rotate his hand. On the opposite end of the glove are rubber finger caps. The scientists chose silicone rubber so that the astronauts could have some sense of touch when working with equipment and tools. Along the gloves are loops. Tethers connected to small tools can be latched onto the loops to prevent the items from floating off into space. The astronauts also like to wear thin fabric comfort gloves with wristlets band of materials worn for warmth within their EVA gloves.

OBS

EVA glove: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

CONT

Gants pour EVA (gauche et droit). Si on regarde au bout d'un gant EVA, on voit un anneau. Cet anneau sert à fixer le gant à la manche du torse supérieur. Il comprend aussi un roulement pour le poignet, qui aide l'astronaute à faire la rotation des mains. À l'autre bout du gant, on observe un recouvrement de caoutchouc au bout des doigts. Les scientifiques ont choisi le silicone pour donner à l'astronaute un sens du toucher lorsqu'il travaille son équipement et ses outils. De petits anneaux sont [répartis] sur les gants afin d'y attacher de petits outils à l'aide de cordons. Ceci évite que les outils ne flottent librement dans l'espace. Les astronautes aiment aussi porter, pour leur confort, des gants faits de tissu mince et munis de poignets - bandes de tissu conservant la chaleur - à l'intérieur de leurs gants EVA.

OBS

gant de sortie extravéhiculaire : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).
