Title: Publishing on the WWW : part 3 : scanning medical images for screen presentation Authors: Zammit, Patrick Abstract: The purpose of this article is to remove the myths and black art surrounding electronic imaging and prove beyond doubt that any mind competent in the workings of the human body is capable of producing good on-screen images from adequate equipment. Note that in this day and age of SI units imaging still uses inches to describe diagonal screen size and pixels per inch to describe resolution.

Title: Is arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy a paediatric problem too? Authors: Turrini, P.; Basso, Cristina; Daliento, Luciano; Nava, Alessandra; Thiene, Gaetano Abstract: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a heart muscle disease that is often familial, characterized by arrhythmias of right ventricular origin, due to transmural fatty or fibrofatty replacement of atrophic myocardium. ARVC is usually diagnosed in the clinical setting between 20 and 40 years of age. The disease is seldom recognised in infancy or under the age of 10, probably because the clinical expression of the disease is normally postponed to youth and adulthood. This review focuses its attention to the pediatric age, defined as the period of life raging from birth to 18 years. During this span of life, ARVC is not so rare as previously supposed and can be identified by applying the same diagnostic criteria proposed for the adult. Ventricular arrhythmias range from isolated ventricular arrhythmias to sustained ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation. Children and adolescents with ARVC must be carefully evaluated and followed-up especially when a family positive history is present, taking into account the high probability during this life-period that asymptomatic affected patients become symptomatic or that arrhythmias worsen during follow-up. The recent identification of the first defective gene opens new avenues for the early identification of affected subjects even when asymptomatic.

Title: Publishing on the WWW : part 2 : copyright and the WWW Abstract: Copyright on the Internet is becoming an increasingly important issue, as the copying of material in its original digital form is extremely easy, and such copies can be made without any degradation of the copies whatsoever. But what exactly is copyright? This article, will discuss copyright and related issues as defined by United States law, since the Internet was an American concept and continues to be dominated by the United States. Other countries have similar laws with relatively minor variations.

Title: The persistently patent arterial duct in the premature infant Authors: Karatza, Ageliki A.; Azzopardi, D.V.; Gardiner, Helena Maria Abstract: The presence of a persistently patent arterial duct is common in premature neonates and may be associated with high morbidity. Early accurate diagnosis, assessment of the significance of the left to right shunt and prompt treatment are required to improve the outcome in this infant population.
