United They Go

They really do go.

While it is technically correct that 70-80% of rural or underserved origin candidates do not go ‘outside’ current concentrations of physicians and health resources, the appropriate statistical analysis reveals that they really do go at rates 2, 4, 6, or 10 times higher than the typical medical students. Others also go, such as the 75% of rural physicians who have urban origins or those with top...

Tropical Intersections: Where They Go Wrong, and Where They Go Right

Tropical geometry is a powerful tool for understanding curves and other varieties. Often described as a skeletonized version of algebraic geometry, it reduces potentially ineffable objects to piecewise-linear ones. These combinatorial objects are often much easier to analyze than the originals, and can be used to piece together information about the schemes from whence they came. Understanding ...

United they go: conjunct regulation of aortic antioxidant enzymes during atherogenesis.

Oxidative stress, resulting from a local imbalance between the ubiquitous formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the equally ubiquitous antioxidant defenses, is thought to be an important contributor to atherogenesis (Figure). Many of the players are known. The biochemical pathways generating superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radicals, and lipid peroxides have been identified, as ...

Genes - they never go out of fashion!

Genetics in general and more specifically ophthalmic genetics are areas that ophthalmologists tend not to focus too much on – during training and in practice. Undergraduate medical training and ophthalmology residency in India traditionally place more emphasis on diagnostic and surgical skills rather than other areas such as genetic analysis and genetic counseling. This is surprising considerin...
