Biomedical aspects of lectins.

Studies on lectins are having an increasing impact on medicine, by providing new tools for diagnosis, helping to solve clinical problems, and giving new insights into pathological processes (Lis & Sharon, 1986a, b; Sharon & Lis, 1988). Two early discoveries: that certain lectins are bloodgroup specific while others are mitogenic, have led to their widespread use for blood typing, for assessing ...

Biomedical aspects of chiral molecules

This article defines some of the terms used in chiral chemistry and some of the basic mechanistic issues that arise in stereochemistry in pharmacology. Attention is also drawn to the impact of stereochemistry on drug regulation and its significance for new drug development. The stereoselectivity of drugs is underpinned by the fact that the human body is essentially a chiral structure. The ratio...

Geometric Aspects in 3D Biomedical Image Processing

We present some issues that arise when a geometric transformation is performed on an image or a volume. In particular, we illustrate the well-known problems of blocking, blurring, aliasing and ringing. Although the solution to these problems is trivial in an analog (optical) image processing system, their solution in a discrete (numeric) context is much more difficult. The modern trend of biome...

Documenting biomedical research; some bitter aspects

Considering the overall scenario, it has now become more obvious why we are coming across an ever‐increasing number of scientific misconduct cases day‐to‐day (Plagiarism, dual/multiple submissions, dual/multiple publications, ethical violations, self‐plagiarism, and copyright violation). By definition plagiarism is “taking over the ideas, methods or written words of another, without acknowledgm...
