#Advantages, potential of computer-guided spinal surgeryin a series of research studies Cedars-Sinai spinal surgeons show that a new method of computer-guided spine surgery is beneficial for spinal reconstruction
Computer-guided surgical navigation technology delivers on quality and safety said J. Patrick Johnson MD a neurosurgery spine specialist and director of Spine Education and the Neurosurgery Spine Fellowship program in the Department of Neurosurgery.
The images are transferred to a computer which displays them on overhead monitors that allow precise tracking of surgical instruments as surgeons insert screws for reconstruction
The Cedars-Sinai surgeons say they have cut these to nearly zero by using computer-guided methods.
This approach represents a major leap forward for instrumented spine surgery said Terrence T. Kim MD an orthopedic spine surgeon in the Cedars-Sinai Spine Center and expert in the computer-guided navigation field.

#Computer models soybean crop with 8. 5 percent more productivity, using 13 percent less watercrops that produce more
This dream is coming closer to reality for University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign researchers who have developed a new computer model that can help plant scientists breed better soybean crops.
Once the computer predicts an optimal plant structure then the crop can be selected or bred from the diverse forms of soybeans that are already available--without the regulation
This approach then can help guide field programs by pointing to plants with particular combinations of traits already tested in the computer
By examining plants using detailed computer models and optimization we have the potential to greatly expedite the development of new types of agricultural plants that can tackle some of the greatest challenges facing society today related to the need to produce more food in a more variable and uncertain climate system
