Many elderly people worldwide lose the neurosensory part of their ear and turn deaf. Cochlear implants to restore some hearing after neurosensory hearing loss are, at present, the only therapy for these people. In contrast to this therapy, replacement of hair cells via stem cell therapies holds the promise for a cure. We review here current insights into embryonic, adult, and ...

Hearing loss is a global health problem with profound socioeconomic impact. We contend that acquired hearing loss is mainly a modern disorder caused by man-made noise and modern drugs, among other causes. These factors, combined with increasing lifespan, have exposed a deficit in cochlear self-regeneration that was irrelevant for most of mammalian evolution. Nevertheless, the mammalian cochlea has ...

In the preface of Feynman's Lectures on Physics, he confesses that ``I don't think I did very well by my students. When I look at the way the majority of students handled the problems on the examinations, I think the system is a failure.'' I was flabbergasted when I reread that admission recently, because I had felt the same pessimism about my introductory astronomy classes. I suspect that many ...

In this Focus Session, and in the preceding DCOMP Invited Symposium, "Great Advances of Computational Physics: Past, Present and Future," we have heard about the vision for our field, reviewed (and previewed) cutting-edge numerical work, and considered where the resources might come to support our endeavors. In this talk I will summarize some of the common themes of this discussion, as well as ...

Advances in microbial source tracking (MST) have largely been driven by the need to comply with water quality standards based on traditional indicator bacteria. Recently, a number of PCR-based, culture- and library-independent methods have been gaining popularity among source tra...

The diagnosis of early gastric cancer (EGC) is of great interest because its endoscopic and surgical treatment presents the best chance for a cure. With technical development, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been widely performed for the curative treatment of EGC in Korea. Multinational studies of ESD for EGC will be the next missions that overcome these limitations and global ...

Aortic arch aneurysms induce great morbidity and mortality especially when clinical signs of rupture are present. Surgical indications for repair in the high-risk octogenarian population are controversial. We present the case of an 87-year-old man with a ruptured aortic arch aneurysm with a good surgical outcome. We discuss the clinical impact of the surgical treatment in this group of patients. ...

Beam-foil spectroscopy after 45 years: what has been realized of the promises? What is the state of the art? What is the status of the field? What present atomic physics problems should the technique be applied to, where can it be done? Will it be done? Dedicated to the memory of Professor S Bashkin (20 June 1923-1 May 2007) and written in the honour of Professor L J Curtis (4 November 1935).

From the Old Age period until the middle of the 20th century, the surgeon was an artisan, whose medical activities were confined to the treatment of the external pathology. After World War II progress in knowledge and technology provided surgery with a scientific basis. The introduction of new anesthetic methods added to the explosion of surgical possibilities. The ancestral general surgeon gave ...

A pile of plutonium - 1.4 tonnes in all - was on board Japanese nuclear transport ship Akatsuki Maru when it left France on November 8, 1992 for Japan. Alongside it were Greenpeace's hostile and ever-vigilant boats and the great swells of public protest from around the world. Transports like this are likely to follow. But more to the tune of 30 to 40 tonnes of plutonium cargo is expected ...

Surgical replacement of diseased heart valves by mechanical and tissue valve substitutes is now commonplace and generally enhances survival and quality of life. However, a fundamental problem inherent to the use of existing mechanical and biological prostheses in the pediatric population is their failure to grow, repair, and remodel. A tissue engineered heart valve could, in principle, accommodate ...

The present theoretical and experimental situation with grand unification is summarized. The issues of proton decay and the Weinberg angle are addressed, going through the predictions of both the standard SU(5) theory and its supersymmetric extension. The SO(10) theory, which provides a minimal one family model, is then studied. The gravitational characteristics of domain walls and strings are ...

Knowledge of hypophysis could hardly stagnate in a context of general progress in medical science as such. New knowledge in physiology, pathology and treatment of hypophysis diseases is vast and only some of it could be included in the article. New regulators of hypophysial secretion have been discovered. Among them are hypothalamic chemokines and the KISS-1 gene product--kisspeptin. Impulses ...

The number of older geropsychiatric patients is increasing dramatically. "The Big Three -- Dementia, Depression, Delusion" are challenging our care system.

What is lacking: cross-facility co-ordination, co-operation, systems of reference with overall responsibility, ease of access, ...

The field of angiogenesis research has seen an explosion of knowledge within the last 10 years. More than 3500 angiogenesis-related papers are presently being published per year compared to the less than 200 annual papers published in the early 1990s. Paralleling the progress in the field of basic angiogenesis research, translational research has led to the identification of more than 100 ...

The coagulation cascade represents a system of proteases responsible to maintain vascular integrity and to induce rapid clot formation after vessel injury. Tissue factor (TF), the key initiator of the coagulation cascade, binds to factor VIIa and thereby activates factor IX and factor X, resulting in thrombus formation. Different stimuli enhance TF gene expression in endothelial and vascular ...

This issue of the journal is dedicated to targeted delivery of therapeutics in the vasculature, an approach that holds promise to optimize treatment of diverse pathological conditions ranging from ischemia and tumor growth to metabolic and genetic diseases. From the standpoint of drug delivery, circulation system represents the natural route to the targets, whereas its components (blood and ...

In the blink of an eye, the US has grown much more dependent on Middle East exporters of oil, specifically Arab countries. The authors graph shows that growth of imports from these countries is the principal change in 1985-1986 statistics (first half of each year). This fact alone seems to be driving much of the machinery of debate in official circles as to what to do to protect the US from being ...

Components of geostatistical estimation, developed as a method for ore deposit assessment, are discussed in detail. The assumption that spatial observations can be treated as a stochastic process is judged to be an inappropriate model for natural data. Problems of semivariogram formulation are reviewed, and this method is considered to be inadequate for estimating the function being sought. ...

Since their introduction in 1980s, medical guidelines have become a milestone in the modern medical practice and science. Being a key feature of modern evidence-based medicine, guidelines offer the opportunity for unification and standardization of diagnostic procedures, their use guarantees the equal access of patients to medical service, and they represent a scaffold for inexperienced ...

The field of free radicals and antioxidants, or 'redox biology', is fundamental to aerobic life. Aerobes constantly make reactive species, but modulate their actions by synthesizing antioxidants. This balance allows some reactive species to perform useful functions while minimizing oxidative damage. In general, dietary antioxidants are ineffective at modulating the 'redox balance' in humans. This ...

"You don't look like a librarian" is a phrase we often hear in the astronomy department or observatory library.

This talk will explore the future of librarians and librarianship through the lens of some of the recent talks given at the sixth "Libraries and Information Services ...

Prostate cancer is the most frequent cancer in males. Because of the high cure rates, early detection of prostate cancer should identify organ-confined prostate cancers. An early detection examination should be performed annually starting at the age of 50 years and ending when life expectancy is less than 10 years. Digital rectal examination is supplemented by determination of prostate-specific ...

Skin disease (dermatological conditions') affects at least one-third of the US population and has been cited as one of the top 15 medical conditions for which prevalence and healthcare spending increased in the last decade. The outcome of topical dermatological drug treatment is significantly influenced by the choice of vehicle or delivery system. Advancements in the life sciences coupled with a ...

The phenomenon of street children is a growing concern in South Africa.

Experts on various aspects of the ...

With the increasing use of nuclear power and radiation sources, the selection of optimum systems for personnel monitoring is becoming a matter of worldwide concern. The present status of personnel dosimetry, sometimes characterized by unstable and inaccurate detectors and oversimplified interpretation of the results, leaves much to be desired. In particular, photographic film, although ...

Although immunity in multicellular organisms is efficient in dealing with alien agents, it may fail for allogeneic chimerism. Natural chimerism is widely documented in nature, distributed in at least ten phyla of protists, invertebrates and plants, vertebrates and mammals, including humans; it is an important ecological/evolutionary tool manipulating metazoans' life history portraits. Instead of ...

Amartya Sen's capability approach creates an evaluative space within which individual well-being is considered in ways that diverge from dominant utilitarian views. Instead of measuring well-being based on the accumulation of wealth and resources by individuals and nations, the capability approach focuses on the opportunities (capabilities) an individual has to choose and pursue a life they have ...

Efforts in research quality have led to a diffusion of publication guidelines for high-quality reporting of medical evidence with the aim to instill transparency to its evaluation. The maturity of this process has led to a second stage in which a surplus of scales measuring methodological quality is in place. However, there is no clear consensus as to which of these guidelines should be ...

Our picture of lipid membranes has come a long way since Gorter and Grendel in 1925 formulated the lipid bilayer hypothesis. Most modern textbook models of membranes are based on the Singer-Nicolson model from 1972, although we have in recent years seen significant amendments to this model, not least fuelled by the finding of lipid membrane domains and the subsequent 'raft rush'. The science of ...

The evidence base for most educational initiatives, at least until very recently, is largely composed of low-level evidence. Four major barriers underlie this historical observation, namely: (1) perceived ethical and acceptability problems arising from the unequal treatment of learners in experimental designs; (2) limited choice of outcome measures and validated instruments; (3) time and resource ...

Although medical guidelines generally are graded according to their evidence level, low evidence 'judgement' are generally perceived as much as absolute truth by the medical community as high evidence 'guidelines' are. Being aware of this bias, a workgroup appointed by the European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplantation Association (ERA-EDTA), the members of which are the authors ...

The issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine contains three articles representing advances in emission tomography instrumentation. Common to all three designs is the goal of acquiring volumetric data with good sampling in three dimensions. There are two motivations leading to the volumetric data acquisition. First there is a physiologic and clinical need to take into account the complex nature of ...

Introduction: It has been hypothesized that reducing postprandial glucose spikes would result both in improved overall glycemic control and long-term (especially cardiovascular) outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes. Nateglinide, a short-acting insulin secretagogue of the meglitinide class of antidiabetic agents, has been marketed for the past decade specifically to address the diminished ...

In the past decade, an important field that has emerged as complementary to ultrasonic imaging is that of elasticity imaging. The term encompasses a variety of techniques that can depict a mechanical response or property of tissues. In ultrasound, its premise is built on two important facts: (a) that significant differences between mechanical properties of several tissue components exist and (b) ...

Upon the introduction of mandatory nucleic acid amplification technology (NAT) testing in Germany for HCV, quarantining of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) was reduced in 2002 from 6 to 4 months. In 2004 HIV-1 NAT and in 2005 anti-HBc testing were introduced to further reduce the residual transmission risks for transfusion relevant viruses. After testing more than 40 million donations by HCV NAT it ...

In the Philippines, debate engendered in 1994 by the introduction of a antiabortifacient bill written in such broad language that it would outlaw most contraceptives recalls earlier debates on population policy and shows that not much has changed on the surface: the US is still providing funds, the Catholic Church is still opposing program advocates, and the population is still growing. The ...
