Ask the expert: New directions in asthma therapy
Cysteinyl leukotrienes act as potent bronchoconstrictors and are part of the inflammatory cascade initiated during an asthma attack. They are produced – along with other inflammatory agents – by inflammatory cells, including mast cells and eosinophils. Leukotriene modifiers act by either inhibiting leukotriene formation (zileuton) or as leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs; montelukast and z...
متن کاملAsk the expert - diffuse interstitial lung disease
HRCT is now a key diagnostic tool in diffuse lung disease, but has not completely replaced histopathological diagnosis. In many cases, HRCT can provide disease-specific information so biopsy can be avoided when the clinical presentation is characteristic [1].

The semantic mapping problem is probably the main obstacle to computer-to-computer communication. If computer A knows that its concept X is the same as computer B’s concept Y, then the two machines can communicate. They will in effect be talking the same language. This paper describes a relatively straightforward way of enhancing the semantic descriptions of Web Service interfaces by using onli...
متن کاملObject-centered Interactive Multi-dimensional Scaling: Ask the Expert
Multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) is a widely used technique to show, in a low dimensional space, relations between objects—such as humans, documents, soil samples—that are defined by a large set of features. Key benefit is that it enables visual inspection of object relations in an intuitive way. One of the limitations is that different projections exist, leading to different graphical represent...
متن کاملIs my model right? Let me ask the expert
Defining a domain model is a costly and error-prone process. It requires that the knowledge possessed by domain experts be suitably captured by modeling experts. Eliciting what is in the domain expert’s mind and expressing it using a modeling language involve substantial human effort. In the process, conceptual errors may be introduced that are hard to detect without a suitable validation metho...
