Genetics: A New Landscape for Medical Geography.

The emergence and re-emergence of human pathogens resistant to medical treatment will present a challenge to the international public health community in the coming decades. Geography is uniquely positioned to examine the progressive evolution of pathogens across space and through time, and to link molecular change to interactions between population and environmental drivers. Landscape as an or...

Genetics of dyslexia: the evolving landscape.

Dyslexia is among the most common neurodevelopmental disorders, with a prevalence of 5-12%. At the phenotypic level, various cognitive components that enable reading and spelling and that are disturbed in affected individuals can be distinguished. Depending on the phenotype dimension investigated, inherited factors are estimated to account for up to 80%. Linkage findings in dyslexia are relativ...

The evolving landscape in advanced penile cancer

Penile carcinoma is a rare malignancy with incidence rates which vary in the range of 1–10 cases per 100,000 men according to ethnicity, cultural background, geographic area and social habits [1]. Keratinizing squa-mous cell carcinomas, similar to carcinomas of nongenital skin, and verrucous carcinoma are the most common histologic variants, while basaloid and warty carcinomas are less prevalen...

The evolving landscape of glioblastoma stem cells.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Recent advances in the role of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in glioblastoma will be reviewed. RECENT FINDINGS In the decade since the description of brain tumor CSCs, the potential significance of these cells in tumor growth, therapeutic resistance, and spread has become evident. Most recently, the interplay between CSCs, tumor genetics, and the microenvironment has offered pote...
