Telemedicine for the Canadian Forces
Several nations currently use commercial off-the-shelf technology to provide telemedicine for military and civilian purposes. The vast distances and undeveloped regions that the Canadian Forces (CF) work across requires a transportable, satellite accessible telemedicine system that meets their requirements. The purpose of this thesis was to conduct an exploratory descriptive analysis to compare existing deployable telemedicine systems and identify which of those would best meet the telemedicine requirements of the CF as a viable satellite means for the CF medical community to deliver telemedicine information between a deployed force and a Canada based supporting hospital. A comparative analysis was completed in order to recommend a telemedicine system that the CF can implement and deploy with. Of the three systems analyzed, all are viable in a comparison of systems using a non-weighted set of criteria. The capabilities and limitations of a system such as cost, weight, and bandwidth can be compared individually and as an overall system. All three telemedicine systems studied are viable satellite means that the CF can use to deliver telemedicine information. The CF can now tailor a satellite delivered telemedicine system that meets the most important criteria of their requirements.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Internal Acupuncture (Volume 2)
This book is the latest work of Chinese-American physicist Dr. Shui-Yin Lo, and it continues the book of "Internal Acupuncture (Volume 1)".Content of this Book consists of Medical Studies from Chapter 27 to Chapter 54, covering "Prevention" and "Self-Healing Ability", including stroke, heart attack, respiratory virus, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and discusses the mechanism of prevention. It also lists a large number of cases of periodontal disease, rhinitis, polio, detoxification, etc. to share with readers.★Preface★We have invented two high-tech products in quantum Chinese medicine: a unique software for infrared imaging systems and solid-state water particles. Many customers have been willing to try our products. This book collects and introduces some of the research cases related to them.We refer to the solution containing solid-state water particles as "solid-state liquid." In California, it is classified as a dietary supplement. It follows the principle of "No medicine, no surgery, no pain." All the cases we report are results of scientific research and are provided for health reference only. If you are ill, please consult a licensed physicianThe mechanism by which solid-state liquid improves health is similar to acupuncture's self-healing mechanism. After long-term use, one of the most experienced acupuncturists referred to it as "Internal Acupuncture," which we have adopted as the title of this book.The color coding for the infrared images in this book is as follows: -White: Hottest (approximately 35簞C - 36簞C, 3簞C higher than normal)-Red: 2簞C higher than normal-Yellow: 1簞C higher than normal-Green: Normal skin temperature (approximately 32簞C - 33簞C)-Blue: Cold-Black: Coldest

The Mongolian Mind-Body Interaction Therapy
"About the book: My medical approach relies not just on drugs or a specific type of nutrition, but on cultivating patients' mindset grounded in love and a respect for life, and on awakening their spiritual and physical potential through the energy of LOVE, thus achieving the effect of self-healing. This is a path of innovation, and I see my path with ever increasing clarity. The philosophy of mind-body interaction therapy will undoubtedly become a guiding principle in the advancement of medicine, and a globally esteemed discipline. A new medical paradigm is taking shape. Whether it serves as a supplement, an alternative, or development to conventional medicine, I believe it marks a significant step forward in the history of promoting human health! - Nagongbilige, 2014"
