10 Years On: Looking Back in Order to Move Forward into the Future

Skin Microbiome: Looking Back to Move Forward

Trillions of bacteria, fungi, viruses, archaea, and small arthropods colonize the skin surface, collectively comprising the skin microbiome. Generations of researchers have classified these microbes as transient versus resident, beneficial versus pathogenic, and collaborators versus adversaries. Culturing and direct sequencing of microbial inhabitants identified distinct populations present at ...

Looking back as we move forward.

[C-reactive protein in acute coronary syndrome. Looking back in order to move forward].

Recent years have seen a spectacular rise in the importance of biomarkers in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The most notable of these biomarkers is, without doubt, troponin. Its usefulness for diagnosis, decision making, and prognostic stratification have been fully validated, and its use in daily clinical practice is now widespread.1 It should be pointed out that the kinetics of troponin relea...

Looking back on 2 years of Nursing Open: looking forward

As Nursing Open enters its third year, it is worth recording that this January 2016 issue was published almost a month in advance. Little did we expect this kind of success when I was planning the launch of the journal with Wiley partner Griselda Campbell in a small tea room in a very wet and windy Cork, Ireland during the 2014 INANE conference. As ever, it is much easier to predict the past th...

Two decades of sunfleck research: looking back to move forward.

The study of how plants make use of sunflecks, relatively short duration but high-intensity patches of light in the understory and shaded tree canopy, has been of interest for decades. The potential ecological significance of sunflecks was recognized early in the 20th century (Allee 1926, Evans 1956), and the first few studies attempting to quantify the contribution of sunflecks to carbon gain ...
