Have you ever heard about Hip replacement?

              Do you know about Hip replacement?


More than 800,000 hip replacement operations are carried out globally every year.These enable their recipients to live more mobile and pain-free lives after their worn,damaged,or diseased hip joints are replaced by artificial prostheses.

     It was the pioneering work of english surgeon John Charnley (1911-1982) that led to low friction arthroplasty becoming the gold-standard procedure for hip replacement.Charnley moved from a method of compression fixation of fractures to considering actually replacing the joint during his investigations into the best ways to treat Osteoarthritis and other conditions limiting hip movement.In a lecture to the East Denbigh and Flint division of the British Medical Association in 1959,he said,"In orthopedics,surgeons yearn for an easy hip operation,or,if a good operation is difficult,...[that]it should be universally applicable."
      Charnley met with opposition from colleagues but,working with Wrightington Hospital in Wigan,England,he persisted.His design included a steel femoral stem and ball section and a polyethylene hip socket,both attached to the bone with acrylic bone cement.He performed the first successful operation in 1962.


       Charnley reduced infection in theater by using a clean-air enclosure,suits that covered the entire bodies of surgical staff,and an instrument-tray system.He also followed up on the effectiveness of each operation by persuading patients to bequeath their joints back to him so that he could examine each bone-cement interface and improve his technique.
        Today hip replacement continues to evolve as people live longer and outlast the ten-year duration of their prostheses.Research into better material will lead to more durable designs that should reduce the need for artificial hips to be replaced.

 That's all guys!

DVD (DIGITAL VIDEO DISC)

The first proposals for a high-density CD were put forward in 1993, leading to the creation of two competing formats. Electronic powerhouses Sony and Philips led their collected investors forward with the MMCD format. going head to head with indusrry giants Toshiba, Masushita, and Time Warner's effort. the SD. Then, in 1995, a combined effort-known as the DVD-was off,cially announced and consequently developed by a consorrium of ten companies.

Who invented the Internet?

Advanced Research Project Agency develops the Internet. In 1963, Advanced Research Project Agency(ARPA) unit,set up by us defense department,began to build a computer network.The reason behind this was the fear of nuclear threat by Soviet Union,it aimed to link computers at different locations,so the researchers could share data electronically without having fixed route between them which made their system less vulnerable to attack--even nuclear ones.  The mechanism        Schematic diagram by Larry roberts Data was converted into telephone signals using a modem( Mo dulator- Dem odulator), Developed by AT&T in the late 1950s.In 1960s,key advances were made,including "packet switching" -- a system of packaging,labelling and routing data that enables it to be delivered across the network between machines.Paul baran proposed this system,which broke each message down into tiny chunks.This would be fired into the network,which would then route("swit...
