Studying bacterial resistance has direct importance for the antimicrobial treatment of individual patients. In addition, surveillancedatapooled from individual diagnostic reportshelpphysicians tochoose themost effective drug for empirical therapy. However, this is not the limit of what can be done with the resistance data. There is an increasing need to synthesize the available strands of data ...

The Future of Mathematical Software

This article gives my very personal view of the development of (mathematical) software in the past and in the future. It is based both on my experiences as a user and as an author of math software [1], and also as a non-software-using mathematician. This is not a real mathematical article. Probably the conclusions of this article could also be applied to completely different types of software, ...

Xenotransplantation: Is the future upon us?

Leadless pacemakers: leading us into the future?

Since the first permanent pacemaker implant, almost 60 years ago, there has been continued progress and evolution of these devices. The technology has advanced on many fronts, with longer battery lives, smaller sized generators, with an intelligent ‘adaptive functionality’ closely mimicking the human physiology. However, contemporary implant technology has been disadvantaged by the need for a s...

Future population exposure to US heat extremes

Extreme heat events are likely to become more frequent in the coming decades owing to climate change1,2. Exposure to extreme heat depends not only on changing climate, but also on changes in the size and spatial distribution of the human population. Here we provide a new projection of population exposure to extremeheat for the continentalUnited States that takes into account both of these facto...
