Antibiotic resistance: Alternative approaches

Appendix E : Alternative Approaches

I chose these four approaches because of their ability to capture complex structure succinctly and abstractly. They are all well known, and each has an active and enthusiastic community of users and researchers. Other modeling and analysis approaches can be used effectively for software design in specialized domains: there are many model checkers, for example, that can check protocols and concu...

Alternative approaches in IVF.

Various new developments in clinical and basic science which may impact on IVF in the near or distant future will be discussed in this review. These key areas include the regulation of early follicle development and the extended in-vitro culture of oocytes and embryos. Moreover, alternative compounds and ovarian stimulation protocols will be discussed, along with highlights in the development o...

This condition is sometimes referred to as the silent killer, ...

Alternative approaches to antifungal therapies.

The expansive use of immunosuppressive medications in fields such as transplantational medicine and oncology, the higher frequency of invasive procedures in an ageing population and the HIV/AIDS pandemic have increased the frequency of systemic fungal infections. At the same time, increased resistance of pathogenic fungi to classical antifungal agents has led to sustained research efforts targe...
