WHITHER ARE WE DRIFTING IN THERAPEUTICS?

Fringe Projection Techniques: Whither we are?

During recent years, the use of fringe projection techniques for generating three-dimensional (3D) surface information has become one of the most active research areas in optical metrology. Its applications range from measuring the 3D shape of MEMS components to the measurement of flatness of large panels (2.5 m × .45 m). The technique has found various applications in diverse fields: biomedica...

Endothelin therapeutics in cancer: Where are we?

In human cancers, the autocrine and paracrine loop mediated by the aberrantly activation of endothelin-1 (ET-1) receptor (ET-1R) elicits pleiotropic effects, preferentially mediated by the scaffold protein β-arrestin 1 (β-arr1), on tumor cells and on the host microenvironment, providing a strong rationale for targeting ET-1 receptors. This review describes the most up-to-date preclinical and cl...

Computers in practice--whither goest we?

Reflection for the undergraduate on writing in the portfolio: where are we now and where are we going?

Introduction: The portfolio can be seen as a tool for assessmentof a variety of learning activities that differ in content, usage, andassessment. The portfolio not only meets the learner’s educationalneeds but also the political and public reassurance demand thatthe health professional has achieved the required competency ofthe curriculum that allows him or her to practice safely with orwithout...
