In this talk I will discuss why this might be the case and will suggest areas where these approaches are likely to ...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Boron Neutron Therapy (BNCT): Current Status and Future Outlook
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is based on the nuclear reaction, such that B-10 irradiated with low-energy thermal neutrons produces alpha particles with high linear energy transfer and lithium-7. Clinically, BNCT is used primarily for treatment of high-grade glioma or brain metastases from melanoma and, more recently, head, neck and liver cancers. Since reactors have long been used to pr...

However, we are currently at a watershed point as we face a growing crisis of antibiotic resistance among diverse pathogens. One area of intense interest is the impact of the application of antibiotics for uses other than the treatment of patients and the association with suc...
متن کاملComputational modeling of cardiac hemodynamics: Current status and future outlook
The proliferation of four‐dimensional imaging technologies, increasing computational speeds, improved simulation algorithms, and the widespread availability of powerful computing platforms is enabling simulations of cardiac hemodynamics with unprecedented speed and fidelity. Since cardiovascular disease is intimately linked to cardiovascular hemodynamics, accurate assess...
متن کاملMultiple sclerosis: current knowledge and future outlook.
BACKGROUND Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterized by demyelination and axonal loss. The etiology of MS is unknown; however, environmental and genetic factors play a key role in the development of MS. Diagnostic criteria have been adapted to facilitate earlier diagnosis with increased sensitivity and specificity. Our understanding of...
