Septicemia has increased in both severity and incidence, especially in hospitalized patients, because of both the more invasive technology employed and the increased prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the hospital environment.
Its biggest challenge will be to balance the opportunities for the technology and those keen to explore it, with those who see insurmountable problems with a more invasive technology that has implications for the people that come into contact with it as well as the person wearing it.
It defines "national security" in strictly military terms, strictly in terms of thrusting endlessly at enemies real or imagined, while simultaneously hiding behind bigger shields, whether these be enormous bases and embassies overseas or more invasive surveillance technologies here at home.
Hospitals now care for a population of children that requires more invasive procedures, innovative technology and multidisciplinary team approach to delivery of care.
And you cannot rip off people's headwear and steal their personal effects because you have issues with the more invasive aspects of certain technologies.
Presumably, when such technologies become more invasive we'll have reached what futurists call "the singularity", or the dissolving of the distinction between human and machine.
"Invasive technologies are actually more desirable for a patient who is missing a limb or is paralysed," says Jackson. "They might not want to have to wear something on their head, they might want something permanent and incorporated into their body".
But with the inevitable emergence of wearable technology, the prospect of more invasive interruptions seems inevitable.
His advances made medicine more radical, more invasive of human bodies, and more dependent upon technology... Mentions his surgical cure for ulcers... Moore's range and creativity were astounding..
