shown any substantial difference in how coronary artery disease (CAD) patients fare 2 to 3 years after either coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), two procedures that are performed to restore adequate blood supply to blocked arteries. However, a recent meta-analysis performed by researchers at Tufts-New England Medical Center in B...

Biomedical Research 2003; 14 (1):

Three isoforms of carbonic anhydrase-related protein (CA-RP), CA-RPs VIII, X, and XI, belong to the CA gene family but exhibit no CA catalytic activity. Although the biological function of CA-RPs is uncertain, among a panel of vital organs, the strongest mRNA expression is consistently observed in the brain. Immunohistochemical study showed that the neural cells express all three CA-RPs and tha...

Baylor Research Institute: 2003 update.

BUMC PROCEEDINGS 2003;16:172–173 The research being conducted through Baylor Research Institute (BRI) is one of Dallas’ best-kept secrets. Few people know that physicians and scientists in Baylor Health Care System have almost 500 active protocols. The focus is to move advances from the bench to the bedside, with programs in basic science, mechanisms of disease, clinical effectiveness, clinical...

The Mobile Agents Integrated Field Test: Mars Desert Research Station, April 2003

The Mobile Agents model-based, distributed architecture, which integrates diverse components in a system for lunar and planetary surface operations, was extensively tested in a two-week field “technology retreat” at the Mars Society’s Desert Research Station (MDRS) during April 2003. More than twenty scientists and engineers from three NASA centers and two universities refined and tested the sy...
