Assessment and monitoring of vegetation condition: Moving forward

Echocardiographic assessment of dyssynchrony: moving forward.

Correction of mechanical dyssynchrony is believed to be the primary mechanism by which cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves clinical status and reduces left ventricular (LV) volume.1 The use of QRS duration as a surrogate for mechanical dyssynchrony has been intensely investigated, based on the suspicion that a direct measurement of mechanical rather than electric dyssynchrony might...

Moving Forward in Human Cancer Risk Assessment

BACKGROUND The current safety paradigm for assessing carcinogenic properties of drugs, cosmetics, industrial chemicals, and environmental exposures relies mainly on in vitro genotoxicity testing followed by 2-year rodent bioassays. This testing battery is extremely sensitive but has low specificity. Furthermore, rodent bioassays are associated with high costs, high animal burden, and limited pr...

Assessing Native Vegetation Condition using the Bushland Condition Monitoring Method and South Australian Biodiversity

The Nature Conservation Society of South Australia (NCSSA) Bushland Condition Monitoring Program and the South Australian Biodiversity Assessment Tool (SABAT) address this shortcoming, and provide an innovative approach to building community capacity in vegetation management. The program allows conservation volunteers, landholders and extension professionals to conduct an effective evaluation o...
