Editorial: Cutting edge in systemic lupus erythematosus

The last 10 years have seen major advances in the understanding of the pathobiology of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). These improvements have led to discoveries of new molecules that target specific points in the immunological cascade that contribute to the immune hyperactivity and loss of tolerance in this heterogeneous autoimmune disease. Despite a large number of clinical trials assessi...

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,...

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...

Fetal tissue research: the cutting edge?

Experimental Study of the Effect of Laser-Cutting Process Parameters on Heat Distribution and Cutting Edge Quality of Steel Sheets

This study aimed to evaluate Laser-cutting process of Mild Steel St37 sheets with two different thicknesses. In order to evaluate the quality of cutting edge and the depth of the area affected by the heat, several tests were conducted to determine the effect of parameters such as Laser power, Laser beam movement speed and pressure of axillary gas on the quality of cutting edge and the depth of ...
