Modern medicine has advanced a lot lately. Doctors now have the possibility of performing very hard surgeries and save the patients' lives on a regular basis. But think about the fact they the first heart transplant for example was performed only 40 years ago. People have accomplished a lot of things in a short time. And if you look close enough we'll see that it has to do with technology. Basically, the two fields have developed side by side, technology being an assistant for medicine.

If you enter a hospital and look around you will see that you are surrounded by medical software applications all over the place: from the entrance where somebody asks for your personal information and fills in a form on a computer, to the rooms where the patients are monitored and some software shows their vital signals on the screen and to the surgery table where very talented doctors performed very difficult surgeries with the help of the medical software that allows them for example to enhance the body area that they are operating so much as to locate a tumor and color it differently on the screen, so that they can make the difference between it and the healthy tissue around. These are only a few applications of medical software use in hospitals. In fact, modern medicine relies a lot on this branch of software engineering.

When doctors say that a patient is being monitored they refer to the signals that we see on a screen, usually in green colour, they give a lot of information to the doctors, but are only lines for us. That particular device monitors the heart rate, blood pressure or breathing rate of a patient and use the software to interpret the sensor information and show it in a meaningful way on the monitor. So the lines that we see are the product of the software, because we can't actually "see"" blood pressure for example. What the software does in this case is to make a visual representation for us that gives the necessary information about the monitored function.

Another application of medical software are the medication pumps. You can programme these devices to pump a certain amount of blood, plasma, saline solution or a certain recommended medication in the patient's veins. This is very important in order for the patient to be recovered. The software allows the medical staff to programme the right speed and quantity of the perfusion, depending on the patient's condition.

Analysis is very important for setting the right diagnosis and the right treatment for the patient. Doctors always send you to a medical lab to have specific examinations. The people in the lab perform this analysis (of blood, urine, etc) and come up with some diagrams or numbers that are meaningless to us but which, after an informed "reading" of this data, the doctors can give you the right prescription and diagnosis.

Therapy delivery - I think this is one of the most important practical applications of the medical software.  It is used in implantable pacemakers and defibrillators. These devices are not allowed to be wrong and make mistakes, because people's lives depend on their perfect functioning. They provide real time monitoring, usually critical information for the mission of the doctors about cardiac rhythms of patients.



Then there's the medical and health care educational software designed especially for the medicine students. This software is thought as a practicing help for medicine students who can practice a certain surgery or medical examination without having to actually "cut somebody open". It is the best solution for beginners, as they lack experience and they have to start somewhere. And it's a lot better to know what to do and be prepared for a difficult operation when the time comes. There are a lot of applications supplied by the medical educational software. For example it offers the visual chart of the human internal organs, or a realistic "map" of the human blood vessels. You can use this software to visualize the actual positioning of organs and blood vessels and this is very helpful. In fact you can not do the same thing in reality. This valuable practice helps for the preparation of future capable and good doctors that will hopefully save people's lives.

Most medical software offers refer to billing and evidence, some of them allow online appointment in order to ease doctor-patient communication and to save time. For example Medoxis is a simple and easy to use electronic medical records software that is designed specially for physicians. It offers you mobility and simplicity, saving all information in one data file, also portable. You can access and modify the medical records directly on network or by means of an external drive. It allows you freedom of movement as is available on your portable laptop.

In my opinion all things that come to help improve people's lives and health conditions are worth investing in and worth of our admiration.

Everybody knows what a business card is. And even if not all of us have a business card , we know what it looks like and what it represents: it's that rectangular piece of cardboard with something written on it, something that summarizes someone's presentation. it contains the name, job, position held and contact data. But few people know that the history of the business card goes back in the 17th century in France, at the royal court in Versailles.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
The first business cards were in fact visiting cards and they were presented by the people who came to visit the royal palace at Versailles. They left short messages and their names on little cardboard cards , so that the king should know who visited him and what was the purpose of that visit.Th etiquette during the reign Louis XIV, "Le roi soleil" was very strict and that lead to the invention of the visiting card, later on transformed in a business card or a greeting card, according to its purpose. Almost at the same time in 17th century England the tradecard appeared. They were both an advertising and a map, because they could guide the customer to the merchant's shop, as there wasn't a street numbering system at the time. they continued to develop separately and people made a clear distinction between them, but after some time, in the 20th century the visiting card disappeared as people behaved in a less formal manner and the rich classes did not keep distance from the working class any more and we only kept the business card.

The business card is still used nowadays, even if only in certain fields of work such as: business, law, finance, bank and so on. You usually need a business card when you come into contact with a lot of people who might be potential clients and you want to give them the opportunity of remembering you and wanting to contact you. That is why it's important that you make a memorable first impression, then it's your business card's turn to make a good impression, that is to draw the attention of the potential client. For example if it's pink and with little hearts on the background it won't give an impression that you are a serious, but a frivolous person. I exaggerated, I admit, but I made my point clear.

If your company does not have one or if you are a freelancer, invent an attractive logo. Don't put too much information on a business card because you want the client to remember the important information and if the card is too crowded, they will end up remembering nothing. Use your company logo instead of a too complicated graphics. It's easier and more simple. It's not a picture of you or your family, o keep it simple, one or two colours maximum. It's both cheap and easy to remember. you don't need to go to a professional printer shop unless you want it in a big number. But for daily purpose, you can use the office or home printer. The quality of the paper is not that important and the final result will be just fine, due to the advance in technology that allows you to print equally nice cards at home.

In 1935 an American radio commentator , Walter Winchell, invented the name "disc jokey"  from combining the two words: "disc" referring to the disc records and "jokey" that is the operator of a machine. He used this term to describe Martin Block, a radio announcer, the first one to become a star. That radio star used records to make people believe that he was actually broadcasting from a ballroom. Six years later, in 1947, the term appeared published in "Variety" magazine.
