The Cutting Edge: Research Update

The guidelines of the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association state that primary PCI is a class I indication in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction who can undergo the invasive procedure within 12 h after the onset of symptoms. This is true provided that the procedure is performed timely by experienced cardiologists in an appropriate facility. Reperfus...

Cutting-Edge Research in Visualization

I n 1987, the National Science Foundation (NSF) Panel on Graphics, Image Processing, and Workstations published its landmark report, “Visualization in Scientific Computing,” which set out the vision for developing visualization as a scientific field (www.evl.uic. edu/core.php?mod=4&type=3&indi=348). During the 25 years since then, the visualization field’s horizons have broadened significantly,...

Fetal tissue research: the cutting edge?

Cutting-edge research or cutting-edge artefact? An overdue control experiment complicates the xylem refilling story.

Arguably, the biggest current mystery in water relations research is how embolized xylem vessels refill despite negative pressures in the surrounding transpiration stream (Nardini, Lo Gullo & Salleo 2011). In this issue, Wheeler et al. (2013) set out to investigate the phenomenon in two known refillers, Acer rubrum and Fraxinus americana (Zwieniecki & Holbrook 1998; Zwieniecki et al. 2000). Ins...
