The use of self-organising fuzzy logic control for automated drug delivery in muscle relaxant anaesthesia is described. The selfelicitation of a knowledge base is shown to be robust in the presence of model uncertainty, noise contamination, and parameter changes. Being computing intensive, self-organising fuzzy logic control is considered for parallel implementation on transputers, both through use of a LISP interpreter and through direct OCCAM coding. The OCCAM code gave a fast implementation, which could be further improved by using multiple transputers.
Pulmonary artery aneurysm presenting with dissection and hemopericardium is extremely rare, and we came across one such case in our center. The patient was a 22-year-old man who presented with dyspnoea, tachypnoea, and pallor. On evaluation, he was found to have a leaking pulmonary artery aneurysm with dissection and hemopericardium, and a patent ductus arteriosus. He underwent pericardiocentesis followed by successful closure of the ductus, aneurysmectomy, and reconstruction of the pulmonary artery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
