Do All Roads Lead to Rome? The Potential of Different Approaches to Diagnose Aelurostrongylus abstrusus Infection in Cats

All roads do not lead to Rome.

REGIONAL anesthesia has evolved in recent years from a technique into an art, practiced by some pioneering anesthesiologists. As with any art form, regional anesthesia has obtained a level of complexity not seen before. Until recently, regional anesthesia was used by a select group, using sophisticated wording and techniques that prohibited its widespread implementation. However, with the devel...

All Roads Lead To Rome

Legendary mathematician Paul Erdos liked to talk about the perfect proofs of mathematical theorems maintained by God. In [1], six different proofs are given to the infinity of prime numbers. Unlike mathematical proofs which are mentally reproducible objects, signal processing researchers can have an intimate discussion with God by creating computational algorithms which are experimentally repro...

Male Circumcision and HIV: Do All Roads Lead to Rome?

Rational heme protein design: all roads lead to Rome.

Heme proteins are among the most abundant and important metalloproteins, exerting diverse biological functions including oxygen transport, small molecule sensing, selective C-H bond activation, nitrite reduction, and electron transfer. Rational heme protein designs focus on the modification of the heme-binding active site and the heme group, protein hybridization and domain swapping, and de nov...

Therapeutic interruption of advanced glycation in diabetic nephropathy: do all roads lead to Rome?

A major common feature of the chemically disparate compounds that inhibit advanced glycation end product (AGE) accumulation or signaling is their ability to show end-organ protection in experimental models of diabetes complications. The mechanisms by which these AGE- lowering therapies confer their benefits remain unsolved. Is it the reduction in tissue AGE levels per se or the inhibition of do...
