DEVELOPMENT: A Need for Glia

The Need for Complementary Health Insurance in Iran and Suggestions for Its Development

Development of neurons and glia.

The process by which a mature animal is produced from a single cell has fascinated and puzzled scientists and non-scientists alike for centuries. The nervous system took center stage in many of the pioneering studies on animal development, and neurodevelopment can trace its modern origins back to studies by Wilhem His and Ramon y Cajal in the 1800s. The stereotyped nature of developmental proce...

Role of glia in synapse development.

Recent studies suggest that glial cells regulate certain aspects of synapse development. Neurons can form synapses without glia, but may require glia-derived cholesterol to form numerous and efficient synapses. During synapse maturation, soluble and contact-dependent factors from glia may influence the composition of the postsynaptic density. Finally, synaptic connections appear to require glia...

Very low probability lung scan findings: A need for change

This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of PE in patients with V/Q scans interpreted as representing a very low probability (VLP) of PE (1-3 small segmental perfusion defects with a normal chest radiograph). An analysis of the entire data set obtained during the PIOPED study was performed. Of the total of 1,359 patients in whom the presence or absence of PE was confirmed, 80 ...
