...that they will no longer have to leave home for diagnosis and treatment. Nurses could visit patients' homes, and using e-mail or multimedia messaging, send pictures of ulcers back to hospital specialists. "It has the potential to replace the visit to the doctor's office," says Dr. Ralph Braun, who directed the Geneva study. And since the research was conducted, mobile-phone technology has improved even more. "Newer models provide much better image quality," says Braun, who hopes to carry out a larger telemedicine trial with real nurse visits by the end of the year. "This is ideal...

...Hitler's last acts was to get married. His acquiescent mistress Eva Braun (the dictator was in fact impotent) had yearned for years for the respectability of a wedding license, and now she was to achieve it.

(Metzger went on to direct one more arty hard-core, the excellent Paris-shot...
...Sensations, 1975: Trying to be a hard-core Emmanuelle, this bit of Euro-decadence by Alberto Ferro (aka Lasse Braun) featured Penthouse Pet Brigitte Maier. She's quite a pretty lass, but doesn't get to do much more than watch until the end, when she accedes to the climactic orgy scene. Seven acolytes of various genders crowd around her, matching their protuberances to her orifices, until she is nearly smothered in closeup. Cut to the seven slowly withdrawing from their feast, and, presto, Maier has disappeared. That's the end -except for the closing credits, where we find that...
