FLUID-COOLED HEAT SINK WITH IMPROVED FIN AREAS AND EFFICENCIES FOR USE IN COOLING VARIOUS DEVICES

A heat transfer device utilizing a central fluid channel to service multiple heat loads in a manner maximizing heat transfer fin efficiency. Heat transfer pins are arranged around the central fluid channel with a flow space provided between adjacent pins, allowing for some portion of cooling flow to divert through the flow space. The arrangement reduces the pressure drop of the flow through the fins, optimizes average heat transfer coefficients, reduces contact and fin-pin resistances, and reduces the physical footprint of the heat sink in an operating environment. The heat transfer apparatus is particularly useful for systems inherently containing multiple heat loads, such as three-phase power systems and may be constructed as a stacked heat exchanger, providing for ease of fabrication

Description

The fluid-cooled heat sink includes multiple heat transfer bases for receiving heat generated by multiple heat sources, with heat transfer fins in thermal communication with and connecting the heat transfer bases. The heat transfer bases and the heat transfer fins form a central fluid channel through which a cooling fluid may flow. The heat transfer fins are arranged around the central fluid channel with a flow space provided between adjacent fins, allowing for some portion of the central fluid channel flow to divert through the flow space, or allowing for fluid flowing through the flow space to converge in the central fluid channel. Flow passages between adjacent fins are provided throughout the longitudinal length of the fluid-cooled heat sink. The central fluid channel with a periphery comprised of the heat transfer base such and a plurality of heat transfer fins allows for optimized thermal contact between the plurality of fins and the heat transfer base and greatly improves overall thermal performance.

The fluid-cooled heat sink of this disclosure generates significant advantages. By providing a fluid-cooled heat sink with a central fluid channel providing diverted or diverting flow through the heat transfer fins, the number of rows in the flow direction of an embodiment may be reduced in a given fin density. This reduces the pressure drop of the flow through the fins below that which would be experienced if the flow was arranged in a typical side-inlet, side-exit configuration, where a single flow would encounter all rows of fins in a sequential order. Further, the arrangement of the central fluid channel relative to the flow passages between fins optimizes the overall heat transfer of the fluid-cooled heat sink, since maximum heat transfer coefficients generally arise in the first-row of fins encountered by a flow. Further, the arrangement of the central fluid channel relative to the flow passages allows the base conduction area of a heat transfer fin to provide optimized thermal contact between the heat fins and a base section, so that the base conduction area may more closely approximate the contact area between the base section and serviced heat source. Further, the flow geometry provided by the fluid-cooled heat sink of this disclosure allows a heat sink having a central fluid channel to service a plurality of heat sources, reducing the physical footprint in an operating environment.

The fluid-cooled heat sink may be fabricated as a series of individual and discrete longitudinal sections and assembled by layering the longitudinal sections. The sections may be interleaved such that thermal communication is established at the base sections of adjacent longitudinal sections, and such that a longitudinal axis extends through the bounded peripheries of all longitudinal sections. In the composite unit so fabricated, the fluid sections within the bounded periphery of each longitudinal section comprise the central fluid channel of the fluid-cooled heat sink. It can be appreciated that individual longitudinal sections as described may be fabricated with any dimensions and through a variety of means, and with a variety of materials to optimize heat sink performance under applicable operating conditions.

Fluid-cooled heat sink with improved fin areas and efficiencies for use in cooling various devicesThe disclosure provides a fluid-cooled heat sink having a heat transfer base and a plurality of heat transfer fins in thermal communication with the heat transfer base, where the heat transfer base and the heat transfer fins form a central fluid channel through which a forced or free cooling fluid may flow. The heat transfer pins are arranged around the central fluid channel with a flow space provided between adjacent pins, allowing for some portion of the central fluid channel flow to divert through the flow space. The arrangement reduces the pressure drop of the flow through the fins, optimizes average heat transfer coefficients, reduces contact and fin-pin resistances, and reduces the physical footprint of the heat sink in an operating environment.

3. Are the benefits of railway liberalization worth the potential risks and challenges?


text: CiNii Fulltext PDF. Open Access. This paper examines the relationship between phonology and phonetics. After reviewing a version of Lexical Phonology and Ladefoged's phonetic view of phonology, I argue that phonology and phonetics are in a derivational relationship and propose a generative phonetic model which is intended to integrate the idea of Lexical Phonology and Ladefoged's view. In the model proposed here, the phonology-phonetics interface is located at the level of allophonic transcription, which is referred to as systematic phonetic transcription (Ladefoged 1993) or categorical phonetic representation (Keating 1990). It is also argued that the psychological reality of this categorical level is supported by a listener's categorical perception..

Lesson: Introduction to Phonetics and Phonology

**Objective:** To understand the basic concepts of phonetics and phonology, and their relationship.

**Overview:** Phonetics and phonology are two branches of linguistics that deal with the sounds of language. Phonetics is concerned with the physical properties of speech sounds, while phonology deals with the abstract, mental representations of these sounds. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of phonetics and phonology, and their relationship.

**Section 1: Introduction to Phonetics**

**Topic 1.1: Physical Properties of Speech Sounds**

Phonetics is the study of the physical properties of speech sounds. These properties include the articulatory, acoustic, and auditory aspects of speech. Articulatory phonetics deals with the production of speech sounds by the vocal apparatus, while acoustic phonetics focuses on the physical properties of sound waves. Auditory phonetics involves the perception of speech sounds by the human ear.

**Topic 1.2: Classifications of Speech Sounds**

Speech sounds can be classified into three categories: vowels, consonants, and diphthongs. Vowels are sounds produced by the vocal cords without any obstruction, while consonants involve obstructions in the airflow. Diphthongs are combinations of two vowels pronounced as a single sound.

**Topic 1.3: Features of Speech Sounds**

Speech sounds can be described using various features, such as place of articulation, manner of articulation, and voicing. Place of articulation refers to where in the mouth the sound is produced, while manner of articulation describes how the sound is produced. Voicing refers to whether the sound is produced with the vocal cords vibrating or not.

**Section 2: Introduction to Phonology**

**Topic 2.1: Abstract Representations of Speech Sounds**

Phonology deals with the abstract, mental representations of speech sounds. It is concerned with the patterns and rules governing the distribution of sounds in a language. Phonemes are the smallest units of sound in a language, and they can be combined to form larger units called allophones.

**Topic 2.2: Phonological Rules**

Phonological rules are used to explain the distribution of sounds in a language. For example, the voiceless stop /p/ becomes /f/ before a voiced sound, and the voiceless aspirate /tʰ/ becomes /t/ in unstressed positions.

**Topic 2.3: Phonological Features**

Phonological features are properties of speech sounds that govern their distribution in a language. Examples include place of articulation, manner of articulation, and voicing.

**Section 3: Relationship between Phonetics and Phonology**

Phonetics and phonology are closely related fields, as phonology relies on the physical properties of speech sounds described by phonetics. However, phonology is concerned with the abstract, mental representations of sounds, while phonetics deals with their physical properties.

**Conclusion:** In this lesson, we have introduced the basic concepts of phonetics and phonology, and their relationship. We have seen how phonetics deals with the physical properties of speech sounds, while phonology focuses on the abstract, mental representations of these sounds. Understanding the relationship between phonetics and phonology is essential for studying language and linguistics.

[Airway devices in the intensive care unit].
This review presents the potential indications for different airway devices in the intensive care unit (ICU). Since the interface during noninvasive ventilation is located outside the body, sedation is not regularly needed. Therefore, selection of a fitting mask is essential to avoid mask intolerance which is one of the biggest problems during noninvasive ventilation. Full-face masks are the interfaces mostly used for noninvasive ventilation to treat acute respiratory failure; here, mouth breathing is possible which is often necessary during acute respiratory failure. Good alternatives are total face masks and the helmet, whereas nasal masks and mouthpieces are not regularly used on the ICU. Extraglottic airway devices and coniotomy are used for the management of difficult airway situations on the ICU. Endotracheal intubation remains the gold standard procedure for airway management. However, this procedure is associated with a number of complications. Tracheostomy is the airway access of choice when long-term mechanical ventilation is necessary.

Lesson: Airway Devices in the Intensive Care Unit
Objective: To understand the different types of airway devices used in the intensive care unit (ICU) and their indications.
Introduction: Airway management is crucial in the ICU to ensure adequate oxygenation and ventilation of the patient. There are several airway devices available, each with its own indications and advantages.
Section 1: Noninvasive Ventilation
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is a form of ventilatory support that provides breaths to the patient through a mask or other interface. It is usually used in patients with acute respiratory failure who do not require intubation.
Indications:
- Acute respiratory failure due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, or asthma exacerbation
- Postoperative respiratory failure
- Weaning from invasive ventilation
Types of NIV masks:
- Full-face masks: These are the most commonly used masks in the ICU. They allow for mouth breathing, which is often necessary during acute respiratory failure.
- Total face masks: These masks cover the nose and mouth, providing a better seal than nasal masks.
- Helmet: This is a full-face mask that fits over the patient's head, providing a tight seal and reducing leaks.
- Nasal masks: These masks are not commonly used in the ICU as they do not provide a good seal and are prone to leaks.
Section 2: Invasive Ventilation
Invasive ventilation involves the insertion of a tube into the trachea to provide mechanical ventilation. This is usually done via tracheostomy or endotracheal intubation.
Indications:
- Acute respiratory failure requiring prolonged ventilation
- Prolonged airway obstruction
- Severe hypoxemia or hypercapnia
Types of invasive ventilation:
- Tracheostomy: This involves creating an opening in the trachea to allow for ventilation. It is usually performed in patients who require long-term ventilation.
- Endotracheal intubation: This involves inserting a tube into the trachea through the mouth or nose. It is the most common form of invasive ventilation in the ICU.
Section 3: Difficult Airway Management
Difficult airway management involves the use of specialized devices to manage patients with challenging airways.
Indications:
- Patients with a high risk of aspiration
- Patients with a limited airway view
- Patients with a difficult airway anatomy
Types of difficult airway devices:
- Extraglottic airway devices: These devices sit outside the larynx and provide a route for ventilation. Examples include the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and the Combitube.
- Coniotomy: This involves creating an opening in the neck to allow for ventilation. It is usually performed in emergency situations.
Conclusion: Understanding the different types of airway devices and their indications is essential for effective airway management in the ICU. By selecting the appropriate device, clinicians can ensure adequate oxygenation and ventilation for their patients.
Glossary:
- Airway: The passageway that air travels down to reach the lungs
- Intensive care unit (ICU): A specialized unit in a hospital that provides intensive medical care to critically ill patients
- Mechanical ventilation: A form of breathing support that uses a machine to help the patient breathe
- Hypoxemia: A condition where there is not enough oxygen in the blood
- Hypercapnia: A condition where there is too much carbon dioxide in the blood

Q:

If $|f'(t)| \leq k < 1$ for all $t$ then $\varphi(x, y) = (x + f(y), y + f(x))$ is a diffeomorphism of $\mathbb{R}^2$ onto itself

Show that if $f$ is a $C^2$ map such that $|f'(t)| \leq k < 1$ for all $t \in \mathbb{R}$ then $\varphi(x, y) = (x + f(y), y + f(x))$ is a diffeomorphism of $\mathbb{R}^2$ onto itself.

Note that the determinant of the jacobian matrix at $(x, y)$ is $1 - f'(x)f'(y)$. By the hypothesis on $f'$, we know that this is always positive, and thus, by the Inverse Function Theorem $\varphi$ is a local diffeomorphism.
Now, it remains to prove that $\varphi$ is injective, from what follows that it is a global diffeomorphism. Any hints on this will be the most appreciated.

A:

$\phi(x_1,y_1)=\phi(x_2,y_2) \Longleftrightarrow (x_1+f(y_1),y_1+f(x_1))=(x_2+f(y_2),y_2+f(x_2))$
Then $$x_1+f(y_1)=x_2+f(y_2)$$ $$y_1+f(x_1)=y_2+f(x_2)$$
so $$|x_1-x_2|=|f(y_2)-f(y_1)|$$ $$|y_1-y_2|=|f(x_2)-f(x_1)|$$
Since $f$ has a bounded derivative,it is Lipschitz cntinuous,thus $$|f(x)-g(y)| \leq k|x-y|, \forall x,y \in \Bbb{R}$$
Thus $|x_1-x_2| \leq k^2|x_1-x_2|$ and since $k^2<k<1$ then $x_1=x_2$
Similarly $y_1=y_2$ thus $(x_1,y_1)=(x_2,y_2)$

Lesson: Diffeomorphisms and Injective Maps

Introduction:

A diffeomorphism is a continuous map between two topological spaces that is also a local diffeomorphism, meaning that it is an open map and has a smooth inverse. In this lesson, we will explore the concept of diffeomorphisms and show that if a function is differentiable and its derivative is bounded, then it can be used to create a diffeomorphism of the entire plane.

Section 1: Diffeomorphisms and Injective Maps

Topic 1: What is a Diffeomorphism?

A diffeomorphism is a continuous map between two topological spaces that is also a local diffeomorphism, meaning that it is an open map and has a smooth inverse. This means that the function can be reconstructed locally using its inverse.

Topic 2: Injective Maps

An injective map is a function where each element in the domain maps to a unique element in the codomain. In other words, no two elements in the domain can have the same image.

Connection:

To show that a function is a diffeomorphism, we need to show that it is both a local diffeomorphism and an injective map.

Section 2: The Jacobian Matrix

The Jacobian matrix is a matrix that represents the partial derivatives of a multivariable function. It is used to determine the sensitivity of the function to small changes in its input values.

Topic 1: The Jacobian Matrix

The Jacobian matrix is a matrix that represents the partial derivatives of a multivariable function. It is used to determine the sensitivity of the function to small changes in its input values.

Topic 2: Determinant of the Jacobian Matrix

The determinant of the Jacobian matrix is used to determine whether the function is an injective map. If the determinant is nonzero, then the function is injective, and if it is zero, then the function is not injective.

Connection:

We can use the determinant of the Jacobian matrix to determine whether a given function is an injective map. If the determinant is nonzero, then the function is injective, and if it is zero, then the function is not injective.

Section 3: Injective Maps and Diffeomorphisms

Topic 1: Injective Maps

An injective map is a function where each element in the domain maps to a unique element in the codomain. In other words, no two elements in the domain can have the same image.

Topic 2: Diffeomorphisms

A diffeomorphism is a continuous map between two topological spaces that is also a local diffeomorphism, meaning that it is an open map and has a smooth inverse.

Connection:

To show that a function is a diffeomorphism, we need to show that it is both a local diffeomorphism and an injective map. We can use the determinant of the Jacobian matrix to determine whether a given function is an injective map. If the determinant is nonzero, then the function is injective, and if it is zero, then the function is not injective.

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we have explored the concept of diffeomorphisms and shown that if a function is differentiable and its derivative is bounded, then it can be used to create a diffeomorphism of the entire plane. We have also discussed the Jacobian matrix and its role in determining the injectivity of a function. By understanding these concepts, we can better understand the properties of continuous maps and their applications in various fields.

text: Bittersweets is a product branding and packaging concept developed for a student brief. The product was designed to be a humorous, not-so-romantic take on the retro candy Conversation Hearts.. The products name was developed to convey the ill-mannered nature of the product, however it has been worked into a design that interprets a retro 1950s’ style. The slogan “no need to sugar coat it” was chosen as a way of summarising the products naughty message.. The typographic choices for the logotype and the overall design was to create a vintage retro style with a modern influence, aiming to appeal to the young target audience.. A constraint in the brief was that only two ink colours could be present, black and a Pantone colour swatch; the white packaging was used as a third colour. Pastel colours were chosen for the primary ink with black overlaid to create darker pastel hues.. Overall, a moral conflict has been created with the choices in product name, visual style, and colour, adding to the humour of the product..

text: .ORDER A SAMPLE. IQ Cath Features and benefits. Urethral strictures and false pockets. One of the complications associated with intermittent catheters and their use can be the development of urethral strictures and false passages in men.. Men may also have urethral strictures for other reasons and need to self-catheterise in order to ensure that the stricture is dilated to enable the normal passing of urine.. Many of our customers tell us that they find the IQCath easy to insert and with its unique features, it passes through a stricture or an enlarged prostate with ease.. Strictures and False Passages explained. Meatal stenosis / stricture. Strictures of the urethra. Bulbar uretral stricture. False prostatic urethral passages. Spastic sphincture of the bladder

textbook:
Lesson Title: Understanding Urethral Strictures and False Passages

Introduction:
Urethral strictures are narrowing or scarring of the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. This condition can make it difficult or painful to pass urine. False passages, on the other hand, are abnormal pathways that form around the urethra due to inflammation or injury. Both conditions can occur in men who use intermittent catheters and may require self-catheterization to manage urine flow.

Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

1. What is a urethral stricture?
A urethral stricture is a narrowing or scarring of the urethra that makes it difficult or painful to pass urine. This condition can be caused by injuries, infections, or inflammation.

2. What is a false passage?
A false passage is an abnormal pathway that forms around the urethra due to inflammation or injury. It can make it difficult to pass urine and may require surgery to correct.

3. How do urethral strictures and false passages relate to intermittent catheters?
Intermittent catheters can cause urethral strictures and false passages in men who use them. This is because the repeated insertion and removal of the catheter can irritate the urethra and cause inflammation or scarring.

Section 2: Practical Examples

1. How does the IQCath help with urethral strictures and false passages?
The IQCath is designed with unique features that make it easier to pass through strictures and false passages. Its flexible tip allows it to bend and navigate through narrow or irregular paths, while its hydrophilic coating reduces friction and discomfort during insertion.

2. How do you insert the IQCath through a stricture or false passage?
To insert the IQCath through a stricture or false passage, first clean the area with an antiseptic wipe. Then, lubricate the catheter with a water-based lubricant and gently insert it into the urethra. Use a gentle, steady pressure to guide the catheter through the stricture or false passage. If you encounter resistance, stop and wait for a few minutes before trying again.

Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

1. Case Study: John's Experience with Urethral Strictures
John has been using intermittent catheters for several years and recently developed urethral strictures. He finds it difficult to pass urine and experiences pain during insertion. John tries the IQCath and is pleased with how easily it passes through his strictures. He now uses the IQCath exclusively for self-catheterization.

2. Discussion: Importance of Self-Catheterization Technique
Even with the IQCath, proper self-catheterization technique is crucial for minimizing the risk of urethral strictures and false passages. It is essential to clean the area before insertion, use a lubricant, and insert the catheter slowly and steadily. Additionally, men who use intermittent catheters should monitor their symptoms and consult a healthcare professional if they experience pain or difficulty during urination.

Glossary:
- Urethra: The tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body.
- Stricture: Narrowing or scarring of the urethra that makes it difficult or painful to pass urine.
- False passage: An abnormal pathway that forms around the urethra due to inflammation or injury.
- Intermittent catheterization: A method of urinary catheterization where the catheter is inserted and removed multiple times throughout the day.

Conclusion:
Understanding urethral strictures and false passages is essential for men who use intermittent catheters. By using the IQCath and following proper self-catheterization techniques, men can minimize the risk of developing these conditions and manage their urinary needs effectively.

July 1st marks the start of the Summer Impaired Driving CounterAttack campaign in British Columbia. Impaired driving is one of the top three highway safety concerns along with aggressive and the non-use of seatbelts. Despite the progress made since 1977 when the CounterAttack campaigns were first introduced, impaired driving continues to be a serious problem. In 2007, alcohol was a factor in 33 % of the fatalities resulting from motor vehicle collisions in British Columbia.

If alcohol is a part of your summer activities, plan ahead for a safe ride home.● Arrange for a designated driver, use transit, take a taxi, or call a friend or family member.● Never get into a vehicle with an impaired driver.● There is no quick way to sober up. Food, coffee, a cold shower or exercise will not speed up the elimination of alcohol from your system. The only thing that reduces the effects of alcohol is time.● You’re safest if you completely separate driving from drinking.

The consequences to your life from an impaired driving charge is severe. When you are caught your vehicle will be impounded and your driver’s licence will be suspended at roadside. When convicted you could go to jail and your ability to travel outside of Canada could be affected. Think about it. Is it worth the risk ?

textbook:

Impaired driving is when a person drives a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This can include prescription medications, illegal drugs, and even over-the-counter medications.

2. Why is impaired driving dangerous?
Impaired driving is dangerous because it affects a person's ability to make good decisions, react quickly, and maintain control of their vehicle. This can lead to accidents, injuries, and deaths.

3. How common is impaired driving?
Impaired driving is more common than many people realize. In fact, alcohol is a factor in about one-third of all fatal car crashes in Canada.

Section 2: Preventing Impaired Driving

4. What can you do to prevent impaired driving?
There are several things you can do to prevent impaired driving:
- Plan ahead and designate a sober driver before going out.
- Use public transportation, call a taxi, or use a ridesharing service like Uber or Lyft.
- Never get into a car with an impaired driver.
- If you are going to drink, drink responsibly and don't overdo it.

5. What happens if you are caught driving impaired?
If you are caught driving impaired, you can face serious consequences, including fines, license suspension, and even jail time. Additionally, impaired driving can result in criminal charges and can have long-lasting effects on your life.

Section 3: The Consequences of Impaired Driving

6. What are the consequences of impaired driving?
The consequences of impaired driving can be severe and can affect not only the impaired driver but also their passengers and other drivers on the road. Some of the potential consequences include:
- Injury or death to yourself or others
- Damage to property or vehicles
- Criminal charges and jail time
- Higher insurance rates
- Loss of driving privileges

Conclusion:
In conclusion, impaired driving is a serious problem that can have devastating consequences. By understanding the dangers of impaired driving and taking steps to prevent it, we can help keep ourselves and others safe on the roads. Remember, the best way to prevent impaired driving is to never get behind the wheel while impaired.

Laparoscopic ovariectomy in cats: comparison of laser and bipolar electrocoagulation.
Fourteen mixed-breed domestic cats underwent laparoscopic ovariectomy (lapOVE) using paediatric equipment, an Nd:YAG laser and a bipolar electrocoagulation forceps. Cats were placed in 10 degrees Trendelenburg position (head down) and insufflation pressure was kept at 4mmHg, while surgery was performed through three midline portals. Randomly-assigned unilateral laser resection of one ovary (laserOVE) and bipolar electrocoagulation (BECOVE) of the contralateral ovary were performed. Duration of predetermined surgery intervals was recorded, as well as occurrence of intra- and postoperative complications. Both methods were successful and without complications. Duration of laserOVE was significantly increased compared to BECOVE. The right ovary was more difficult to access; however, both ovaries were easy to manipulate because of the relatively long suspensory ligament. The ovarian ligaments contained minimal amounts of fat and obesity did not influence surgery duration. Convalescence period was short (0.9+/-0.4 days) and owner satisfaction high.

textbook:
Lesson: Introduction to Laparoscopic Surgery

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera and light source, to view and operate on the internal organs of the body through small incisions. This type of surgery is commonly used in veterinary medicine, particularly in cats, to perform procedures such as ovariectomy.

### Section 2: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios
In this study, we will compare two methods of performing laparoscopic ovariectomy in cats: using a laser and bipolar electrocoagulation. The study involved 14 mixed-breed domestic cats that underwent the procedure using paediatric equipment and specialized instruments. The surgery was performed through three midline portals, and the duration of the procedure was recorded.

The results showed that both methods were successful and without complications. However, the duration of the laserOVE was significantly increased compared to BECOVE. This is because the laser requires more time to heat and cut the tissue, while bipolar electrocoagulation uses electrical current to seal blood vessels and tissues.

### Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
One of the advantages of using a laser in laparoscopic surgery is that it allows for greater precision and control over the tissue, which can result in less damage to surrounding structures. However, the disadvantage is that it may take longer to complete the procedure. On the other hand, bipolar electrocoagulation is faster and less damaging to the tissue, but it may not be as precise as the laser.

### Glossary
- Laparoscopic surgery: A minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a laparoscope to view and operate on the internal organs of the body through small incisions.
- Ovariectomy: A surgical procedure to remove one or both ovaries.
- Paediatric equipment: Medical equipment designed for use in children.
- Nd:YAG laser: A type of laser that emits near-infrared light and is commonly used in medical applications.
- Bipolar electrocoagulation: A technique that uses electrical current to seal blood vessels and tissues during surgery.
- Insufflation: The act of inflating the abdominal cavity with gas to create space for the surgeon to work.
- Trendelenburg position: A surgical position in which the patient is tilted head down at a 10-degree angle.
- Midline portals: Surgical entry points made through the midline of the body.

### Conclusion
This study demonstrates the importance of choosing the appropriate method for performing laparoscopic ovariectomy in cats based on the specific needs of the case. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, and the surgeon must carefully consider each factor before deciding which approach to use. By understanding the theoretical concepts and practical applications of laparoscopic surgery, veterinarians can apply these skills to new problems and improve patient outcomes.

‘Emily Owens’ Michael Rady dishes on playing a doctor, an upcoming love triangle and more

TV Source Magazine recently had a chance to talk with Rady about the show and what’s coming up for his character and the Micah, Emily (Mamie Gummer), Will (Justin Hartley) triangle that will start to take shape as the show goes on. The actor had plenty to say about how much he enjoys his job, despite the long hours and his squeamishness when it comes to blood.

In tonight’s episode of “Emily Owens, M.D.,” Micah (Michael Rady) is confronted with the news that his mother’s treatment for pancreatic cancer is not going well and he’s forced to take a look at his perspective on the situation as both a son and a doctor.

TV Source Magazine recently had a chance to talk with Rady about the show and what’s coming up for his character and the Micah, Emily (Mamie Gummer), Will (Justin Hartley) triangle that will start to take shape as the show goes on. The actor had plenty to say about how much he enjoys his job, despite the long hours and his squeamishness when it comes to blood.

Rady explained that one of the things that drew him to the show in the first place was the Emily Owens character. “She is incredibly likable, quirky and awkward and funny and sweet and you can’t help but like her,” he says. “In the pilot, Micah sees all of those things in her so I like that he’s a man of good taste.” Rady was also drawn to the idea of playing a doctor.

“I’m truthfully just amazed with doctors. I could never, ever be a doctor in my life and I’m so glad there are people out there who can because blood, ugh, I do not do well with blood, even the fake stuff we use. But I’m fascinated and intrigued by that line of work so I was excited to pretend in that world and play around and learn stuff.”

“[Blood] is just horrible,” Rady continues. “It’s weird when we’re doing operating scenes and I’ll turn to our tech advisors, they’re working surgeons and doctors, and I’ll say, ‘hey, is this enough blood on my hands?’ Just the fact that they know how much blood should be on my hands…I’ve never had blood on my hands. Wow, that’s gross,” he laughs. “It blows my mind every time and we ask every episode and they’re like, ‘No, you need a little bit more.’ It’s crazy.”

Rady promises there’s good stuff coming up in regards to the love triangle, even though Emily remains oblivious to Micah’s feelings for her. He also says that there will be more scenes between Micah and Will as the triangle ramps up. “Given the love triangle thing, they’re starting to play with that dynamic more right now, the further we get into the episodes,” he previews.

“They’ve established that Emily feels this way about Will and Micah feels the same way about Emily and now they’re connecting the dots between Micah and Will. Although Will has no idea that Micah is into Emily,” Rady points out. “So you’re getting to watch the interactions now, we’re in episode 11, you’re getting to watch Micah reading situations between them and being in scenes with them together and clocking it and I hope that there’s more Micah and Will to come,” he adds.

“[Justin] is hilarious to work with and we have a blast on set together, so we’re pushing for it,” he says. “We’re telling people to start campaigning for it, to campaign for more Micah and Will scenes just for our selfish purposes because it’s fun.”

While he admits that the cast jokes on set about the long hours, Rady says that it’s just the nature of the beast when it comes to the way television is filmed. “It’s long hours, it’s fun, it’s great work and there’s nothing else we’d rather be doing, but the hours are long for sure,” Rady adds. He joked about the way he and his castmates start tweeting when they’re on the set well into the early morning hours.

“I think most of the tweets on set happen when we’re in the OR at like five in the morning,” Rady explains. “It’s this tiny little room and it’s really tedious and monotonous with certain shots and the effects and we have to do it from all these different angles and it’s the same shot of my hand going in so we start to get punchy. ‘What time is it? 4:30 a.m.? I’m tweeting this!’ It’s crazy,” he jokes.

“I’ll call my wife and be like, ‘yeah, I’m going to be in surgery probably until 6 a.m., but I’ll be home after that.’ She’s like, ‘Michael, you’re not a doctor. You’re doing a scene. You’re not a doctor.’ I know, but I’m trying to feel like I am, so could you help me?” Rady sighs. “I’m just saying that I’ll be in surgery until 6 a.m.”

Rady is still fairly new to Twitter, having recently joined after a push from his sister and his wife. He admits that he let Facebook get away from him because he didn’t have the time to keep up with commitment, but he likes that Twitter eliminates a level of attachment.

“It’s just instant and nice and wonderful in that respect that I don’t have to sit and go through everything,” Rady says. “Twitter is kind of like my go to news source now. I can’t turn on CNN wherever I am, but I can go on Twitter real fast and see what’s going on. It’s pretty darn instantaneous.”

Rady also called Twitter “brilliant” for the fact that fans can communicate with celebrities so easily, allowing “Suzy Smith in Kansas City, MO to talk to Ellen DeGeneres or Ashton Kutcher.” Rady says he thinks Twitter gets it right.

We broke away from “Emily Owens” to ask Rady if there was any chance he’d be back on Showtime’s “House of Lies” and he was very receptive to the idea. “There’s always a chance,” he says. “I don’t know what that would look like. I would love to. It was so much fun to work on that show and I think anything is possible, especially in that realm. We can all just call the writers and producers and tell them that. Let’s get on that,” he says.

Finally, Rady encouraged people who haven’t to give “Emily Owens, M.D.” a try. “More people just have to hear about it and we’ve got to get people watching it because I don’t hear many bad things about it,” Rady points out. “Everyone who watches it really enjoys it and to know that people enjoy it as much as we do working on it is a really great feeling. That’s very fulfilling,” he adds.

1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to golf, and more particularly is directed toward a shoulder strap for carrying a golf bag.
2. Background Art
It is generally well known in the sport of golf to carry a golf bag loaded with golf clubs and related golf equipment by means of a flexible strap which is attached at one end to a point adjacent the top or open end of the bag and at the other end to a point toward the bottom of the bag. The strap is typically supported on the shoulder and/or back of a carrier of the bag as the individual maneuvers about a golf course.
Due to the significant weight typically associated with golf equipment, the task of lugging a loaded golf bag during a game of golf (over the course of which a golfer may walk many miles) can be oppressively uncomfortable. Not only does the static weight of the golf equipment bear painfully on the shoulders and back of a golfer, but a golf bag has a tendency to bounce and shift as a golfer traverses the hills and rolling fairways found on golf courses. The tendency of a golf bag to slip not only intensifies the pain of supporting the loaded golf bag but, in addition, demands that a golfer expend energy merely to control the orientation of the bag and prevent contents of the golf bag from spilling.
One attempt which has been made to eliminate the discomfort and slipping tendency of a golf bag has been to support the weight of the bag on both shoulders of a golfer or caddie. For instance, Izzo U.S. Pat. No. 5,042,704 shows a golf bag having adjacent ends of two separate straps joined at a pivot point on the golf bag. The junction (pivot point) is movable relative to the golf bag. Opposite ends of the strap are fixedly secured to the bag at points spaced from the pivot point. Prior golf bag straps proposed for engaging both shoulders of a golfer generally have failed to reduce the level of discomfort and resulting fatigue to an acceptable level and have proved to be unsatisfactory.
A need exists, therefore, for a carrying strap which facilitates handling of a golf bag by alleviating the discomfort which typically is associated with carrying golf equipment and by reducing the effort required to control the orientation of a carried golf bag. The present invention is directed toward overcoming one or more of the problems set forth above.

text: One of the many items enjoyed by Burbank Public Library staff during 2013, recommended for your consideration:. Game Changer, by Margaret Peterson Haddix. I had never read a book by this author before, and I found this science fiction book did a good job of holding my interest. At first I didn't realize that I had been taken into an alternate reality, so I was a little confused, but that added to the intrigue. The author asks readers to question what we value: how we honor certain qualities and disregard others. In this particular story, the author turns the highly valued athletic skills of our society upside down by taking the reader into an alternate universe where math and science skills are what make a person popular and admired. A theme of the book is learning to have compassion for our differences.. Joanne, reference librarian
