This paper introduces the new technologies impetus that has accelerated not only the access to information within the tertiary education framework, but has also facilitated the sharing of knowledge and experience, forming “ad-hoc” networks. Rapid technological innovations in the field of mobile devices highlight the need for proper device integration within IT learning environments so that the pedagogical/educational...
This paper introduces the framework of mobile Computer Music interfaces within the context of Human Computer Interaction (HCI). It examines the unique problems posed by the use of computers by composers and performers of music. It emphasizes on the new various interfacing protocols, metaphors and paradigms that apply HCI design methodologies on the world of music, producing special modules like: performance...
This paper focuses on the framework of non-deterministic mobile Computer Music Interfaces within the context of Human Computer Interaction. A very special subgroup of these interfaces, emerging from the subconscious, comprises the Brain Computer Interfaces that affirmatively expose direct manipulation techniques. Short and long memory experiments with musical exploitation can prove shortcomings in...
A case of a 34-year old woman with acute vestibular syndrome caused by a demyelinating lesion in the root entry zone of the 8th cranial nerve is presented. Neuro-otological bedside examination and suppression of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions provided objective clinical evidence of a retrolabyrinthine lesion. Magnetic resonance imaging and the presence of oligoclonal IgG bands in cerebrospinal...
Neurolymphomatosis describes the malignant lymphomatous infiltration of nerves.We encountered a unique case of a 47-year-old patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma presenting with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, vestibular dysfunction and bilateral facial nerve palsy.Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated enhancement and thickening of internal auditory canal nerves bilaterally consistent with...
Carbon dioxide (CO2) balneotherapy is a kind of remedy with a wide spectrum of applications which have been used since the Middle Ages. However, its potential use as an adjuvant therapeutic option in patients with cardiovascular disease is not yet fully clarified. We performed a thorough review of MEDLINE Database, EMBASE, ISI WEB of Knowledge, COCHRANE database and sites funded by balneotherapy centers...
