TL;DR: The authors' patient was unable to make a fist with either hand or to flex the interphalangeal joint of either thumb, so surgical release of all ten digits corrected his extension block and restored function.
Abstract: Congenital trigger fingers are rare. I 4 Of seven reported cases, only one involved digits of both hands.:! Although they usually resulted in a flexion deformity, we found one report of a joint blocked in extension. 2 Our patient was unable to make a fist with either hand or to flex the interphalangeal joint of either thumb. Surgical release of all ten digits corrected his extension block and restored function.

TL;DR: GRASP (GRAphic SPecification), an interactive graphics system for software specification, is currently being developed by the authors at the University of Central Florida.
Abstract: Significant reductions in software development and maintenance costs can be realized by providing a total environment for the software life-cycle . This environment mus t provide automated tools for each phase of the cycle . At the macro level, the environment will assist in the development , documentation and maintenance of software systems . The development phase includes requirements specifications , design, coding and testing . Maintenance is required to eliminate latent errors introduced during the development phase, to improve performance of a software system or to enhance its capabilities . The probtem of providing adequate documentation for softwar e is a concern equal in magnitude to those of design an d implementation . GRASP (GRAphic SPecification), an interactive graphics system for software specification, is currently being de veloped by the authors at the University of Central Florida . GRASP is intended to be a total environment for software specification . The activities associated with software development an d maintenance produce a product which is the result of man machine interactions . This product should have a structur e that amalgamates the requirements of both man and ma chine . Figure 1 illustrates the components of progra m structure and design that form the adhesive substance binding man to machine . Programming languages and othe r documentation aids represent the program component s that attempt to satisfy the requirements of man ; algorithm s and data structures are objects born out of the requirement s dictated by machine . GRASP attempts to optimize th e
