Ethical considerations of fetal urology: summary of the Twenty-Second Biannual Meeting of the Society for Fetal Urology
Urology, 1999Co-Authors: Timothy P. BukowskiAbstract:T fundamental driving force in life is to do the right thing. Those who teach children or raise their own children know that children thrive on being told the right way to behave and how to excel in life. They become frustrated and lose attention if not given specific, Logical Instruction. Physicians, especially surgeons, know that when faced with uncertainty or incomplete information, we use principles of physiology, anatomy, biochemistry, and past experience to find a solution to a problem. But what about the case where there is little experience to guide us? How do we choose a path to follow, especially, in the words of Professor Clare Fekete, when there is only a “least worst” choice? What about our initial decision to act? What principles do we follow to guide patient care when faced with an uncertain outcome? Finally, who decides what constitutes the best outcome? Probably the most dramatic example we face as urologists is a woman carrying a fetus with bilateral hydronephrosis and megacystis and oligohydramnios. When facing that pregnant couple in the consultation room, what is our responsibility as physician to the fetal patient, to the family, to society? Is there is a decision tree to use? How do we guide ourselves and those involved through this decision tree? How do we start to prioritize our decisions? These were the questions posed before a panel of experts at the 22nd biannual meeting of the Society for Fetal Urology, in Dallas, Texas, who discussed the topic of ethics, with particular regard to fetal anomalies. Present were Bill Cromie, Professor of Surgery/Pediatrics at the University of Chicago, Clare Fekete, Professor of Pediatric Surgery at Necker-Enfants Malades in Paris, and Roy Martin, D.Min., Chaplain Emeritus, Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas. Presentations and discussions centered around practical dilemmas, and most present came to a better understanding of the problems and questions we face in the practice of fetal urology. First, we reviewed a very brief outline of how normative ethics might help to describe solutions. This was based on a number of sources and represents a conceptual line of reasoning concerning fetal ethics. Further ethical understanding and examination is needed to provide physicians with a paradigm for counseling and is beyond the scope of this paper.1 Physicians are familiar with the Hippocratic oath. The core of the oath is, of course, to do what is good for our patients, at least without harm. The ethics of the Hippocratic corpus were written over a period of time by various Greek schools of philosophy and contain obligations of beneficence, nonmaleficence, and confidentiality, as well as some prohibitions against abortion, euthanasia, surgery, and sexual relationships with patients. Throughout the years, these codes were modified with cultural, religious, and theoLogical overtones in the Judeo-Christian society until Perceval attempted to solidify this into a written code in Britain in 1803. In 1847, the American Medical Association released its first written code of ethics. It was based on the Hippocratic method but also included information on etiquette for physicians such as proper dress, gossip, reputation, cleanliness, truth-telling, consultation with other physicians, and the physician’s education. With the 1960s came societal re-examination of traditions, including these Hippocratic principles. This came about because of a better-educated public and the spread of participatory democracy such as civil rights, feminism, and consumer action. The need to re-examine medical ethics also came about This paper was presented at the Society for Fetal Urology Conference in Dallas, Texas, May 1999.

EWDTS - Verification and diagnosis of SoC HDL-code
2011 9th East-West Design & Test Symposium (EWDTS), 2011Co-Authors: Vladimir Hahanov, Dong-won Park, Olesya Guz, Aleksey PriymakAbstract:Xor-metrix for object relations in a vector logic space and a structural testing model are proposed. Assertion-based models and methods for the verification and diagnosis of HDL-code functional failures, which make possible to reduce considerably time-to-market of software and hardware, are developed. An architectural model of multimatrix reduced Logical Instruction set processor for embedded diagnosing is offered.

Analysis and evaluations of Logical Instructions called in parallel digital optical operations based on optical array logic.
Applied optics, 2003Co-Authors: Naoki Nishimura, Yasuhiro Awatsuji, Toshihiro KubotaAbstract:The authors have analyzed and evaluated a two-dimensional Instruction set of parallel operation based on optical array logic (OAL), which is a digital optical computing paradigm, to clarify efficient composition of an optical computing system based on OAL. To evaluate parallel operation based on OAL, the authors have introduced new indices and evaluated a Logical Instruction set of various parallel operations with the indices, so that a guideline for composing a simple and efficient OAL computing system is clarified. Also, the authors have proposed the reduced operation kernel set correlation technique to perform parallel operations more efficiently by a simple OAL computing system. It has been clarified that the technique can reduce the required hardware necessary for an OAL computing system for efficient general-purpose processing.
