A view on glaucoma—are we seeing it clearly?

Seeing Clearly and Moving Forward

THIS SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS SOME important trends in AI research and development, focusing on perceiving and affecting the real world. We will primarily address robotics, but we certainly don’t intend to imply that this is the only important area of AI research and development in the 21st century. We see tremendous importance in the continuing work in such areas as data mining, learning, knowledge r...

Seeing things from the patients' view: what will it take?

Patient centred care has many evangelists but few practitioners. Doctors aspire to a state of grace in which their practice is truly focused on the individual, not on a passing stranger with a set of symptoms. But time is short, pressures great, and financial ligatures too tight. So what could be done to advance the ideal a little faster? Can good teaching and training make the difference, or d...

Seeing more clearly: recent advances in understanding retinal circuitry.

Among 10 breakthroughs that Science announced at the end of 2002 was the discovery of a photosensing (melanopsin-containing) retinal ganglion cell (RGC) and its role in entraining the circadian clock. This breakthrough exemplifies the ultimate goal of neuroscience: to understand the nervous system from molecules to behavior. Light-sensing RGCs constitute one of a dozen discrete RGC populations ...

Editorial Commentary: We Are Seeing More Sepsis …. But Are We Seeing the Whole Picture?

In determining how to most effectively allocate limited resources, it is imperative to accurately define the burden of a given disease. As the number of data sources available for epidemiologic analyses continues to increase, clearly elucidating the relative strengths and weaknesses of these potentially valuable resources is imperative. Evaluating emerging trends in the incidence of specific co...
