Some Prospects for our Scientific Future

Pediatric endocrinology: our present status and future prospects.

we created a DSD committee in the JSPE, and started clinical work to make a series of standard manuals for patient care at various life stages, e.g. the neonatal, infantile, childhood, adolescent, and adulthood periods. Second, with the advances in the management of malignant disorders, many children with malignancies can survive to adulthood. Consequently, it has become evident that such patie...

Future prospects for granisetron.

It has long been recognized that delayed emesis can be difficult to control. As many as 90% of patients receiving high-dose cisplatin regimens ( 120 mg/m2) are reported to experience delayed nausea or vomiting despite antiemetic prophylaxis with high-dose metoclopramide and dexamethasone on the day of cisplatin treatment. The incidence of symptoms is greatest between 48 and 72 hours after cispl...

Microlensing: Prospects for the Future

Four ongoing microlensing experiments have produced important new results but also big puzzles, the major one being that the expected classes of lenses cannot account for the observed distribution of time scales. I discuss future experiments that could resolve these puzzles. By far the most important would be to launch a parallax satellite into solar orbit. I also discuss a number of non-dark-m...
