Glycomics: A complex challenge

A Case Report of Neonatal Pediculosis: A Simple Challenge, yet Complex

Background: Neonatal pediculosis is a problem the magnitude of which has not been estimated; however, it is regarded as a diagnostic challenge and becomes one of the management challenges for which there are very few managementoptions in terms of age, gestation, and the potential effects of drug toxicity.Case report: Here, we report a case of preterm who developed pediculosis capitis in t...

Advancing glycomics: implementation strategies at the consortium for functional glycomics.

Glycomics-an integrated approach to study structure-function relationships of complex carbohydrates (or glycans)-is an emerging field in this age of post-genomics. Realizing the importance of glycomics, many large scale research initiatives have been established to generate novel resources and technologies to advance glycomics. These initiatives are generating and cataloging diverse data sets n...

Glycomics Using Mass Spectrometry

Mass spectrometry (MS), which has advanced rapidly in recent years, is expected to become the tool of choice for high-throughput analysis of relationships between structures and functions of glycans. The structural analysis of glycans using MS employs a number of methods for pretreatment, derivatization, and interpretation. However, since none of these are universally applicable, researchers ha...

Shortages of medicines: a complex global challenge.

Editorials 158 Shortages of essential medicines, among them generic injectable chemotherapy agents, are causing increasing concern in the United States of America (USA). However, the problem is far wider, affecting other classes of medicines including injectable anaesthetic agents, such as propofol, intravenous nutrition and elec-trolyte products, enzyme replacement products and radiopharmaceut...
