The Cutting Edge: Research Update

The guidelines of the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association state that primary PCI is a class I indication in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction who can undergo the invasive procedure within 12 h after the onset of symptoms. This is true provided that the procedure is performed timely by experienced cardiologists in an appropriate facility. Reperfus...

Cutting-Edge Research in Visualization

I n 1987, the National Science Foundation (NSF) Panel on Graphics, Image Processing, and Workstations published its landmark report, “Visualization in Scientific Computing,” which set out the vision for developing visualization as a scientific field (www.evl.uic. edu/core.php?mod=4&type=3&indi=348). During the 25 years since then, the visualization field’s horizons have broadened significantly,...

Emerging Technologies to Promote and Evaluate Physical Activity: Cutting-Edge Research and Future Directions

Physical activity (PA) promotion and measurement efforts are achieving greater precision, ease of use, and scope by incorporating emerging technologies. This is significant for PA promotion because more precise measurement allows investigators to better understand where, when, and how PA occurs, thus enabling more effective targeting of particular behavior settings. Emerging technologies associ...
