This manual has been compiled in response to the rapid expansion of instrumented spinal surgery using minimally invasive and non-fusion techniques, with a view to meeting the needs of spinal surgeons (orthopaedic and neurosurgeons). The various open, less invasive, and minimally invasive techniques are presented step by step in a clear and instructive way with the aid of more than 600 high-quality illustrations. Careful attention is paid to all aspects vital to the success of any spinal operation: precise definition of indications and contraindications, technical and organizational factors, good operating technique, and correct preoperative preparation and positioning of the patient. This second edition of the manual takes full account of the latest developments in spinal instrumentation and implants and new surgical techniques. It is authoritative, concise, and portable – ideal for use in a fast-paced clinical setting – and will serve as a daily companion for spinal surgeons and others who care for patients with spinal disorders.
This book traces the academic footprint of Hanns Ullrich. Thirty contributions revolve around five central topics of his oeuvre: the European legal order, competition law, intellectual property, the regulation of new technologies, and the global market order. Acknowledging him as a trailblazer, the book aims to capture how deeply Hanns Ullrich has influenced contemporaries and subsequent generations of scholars. The contributors re-iterate the path-breaking patterns of his teachings, such as his contemplation of intellectual property as embedded in competition, the necessity of balancing private and public interests in intellectual property law, the policies of market integration, and the peculiar relationship of technological advancement and protectionism.

The three-volume set LNCS 9349, 9350, and 9351 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2015, held in Munich, Germany, in October 2015. Based on rigorous peer reviews, the program committee carefully selected 263 revised papers from 810 submissions for presentation in three volumes. The papers have been organized in the following topical sections: quantitative image analysis I: segmentation and measurement; computer-aided diagnosis: machine learning; computer-aided diagnosis: automation; quantitative image analysis II: classification, detection, features, and morphology; advanced MRI: diffusion, fMRI, DCE; quantitative image analysis III: motion, deformation, development and degeneration; quantitative image analysis IV: microscopy, fluorescence and histological imagery; registration: method and advanced applications; reconstruction, image formation, advanced acquisition - computational imaging; modelling and simulation for diagnosis and interventional planning; computer-assisted and image-guided interventions.
This book discusses the main legal questions raised by free and open source software (FOSS) licenses and other alternative license models, such as Creative Commons. The legal questions raised by FOSS and other alternative licenses have been the subject of an intense international debate among legal scholars and practising lawyers in the last years. Courts in different jurisdictions have confirmed that the core features of FOSS licenses are compliant with the respective applicable laws and thus enforceable in the respective jurisdictions. What is still missing so far is an in-depth comparative analysis of the legal issues raised by FOSS, Creative Commons and other alternative license on a wor...
The eight-volume set LNCS 12901, 12902, 12903, 12904, 12905, 12906, 12907, and 12908 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2021, held in Strasbourg, France, in September/October 2021.* The 531 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 1630 submissions in a double-blind review process. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: Part I: image segmentation Part II: machine learning - self-supervised learning; machine learning - semi-supervised learning; and machine learning - weakly supervised learning Part III: machine learning - advances in m...

Das Patentrecht steht unter Legitimationsdruck. Erstens ist es zu einer Arena in Technologiediskursen geworden und wird mitunter stellvertretend für umstrittene Innovationen angegriffen. Zweitens ergeben sich ethische Fragen aus der Patentierung als solcher. Dies betrifft nicht nur sog. "Patente auf Leben". Auch bedarf der Rechtfertigung, dass Patentschutz den Zugang zu innovativen Technologien einschränken kann. Marvin Bartels nähert sich dem Verhältnis zwischen Ethik und Patentrecht auf zwei Ebenen. Einerseits untersucht er, welche Rolle ethische Erwägungen in den Zielen, den Normen und der Praxis des Patentrechts spielen und welche ethischen Dimensionen diesem zwingend zukommen. Andererseits ist die Leistungsfähigkeit patentrechtlicher Instrumente zur Erreichung ethisch relevanter Regelungsziele von Erkenntnisinteresse. Darauf aufbauend skizziert der Autor ein ethisches Fundament des Patentrechts und unterbreitet Umsetzungsvorschläge.
