Justification for screening for chronic beryllium disease: closer to reality.
C hronic beryllium disease (CBD) appeared to be waning 30 yrs ago [1]. In 1980, less than one case per year was reported and the incidence rate per ton of beryllium produced had declined from between five and 10, to less than 0.001. CBD appeared to be heading toward the medical archives as a success story of environmental control in the absence of understanding of the pathogenesis of the diseas...
متن کاملIntegrated Amplification Microarrays for Infectious Disease Diagnostics
This overview describes microarray-based tests that combine solution-phase amplification chemistry and microarray hybridization within a single microfluidic chamber. The integrated biochemical approach improves microarray workflow for diagnostic applications by reducing the number of steps and minimizing the potential for sample or amplicon cross-contamination. Examples described herein illustr...
متن کاملMajorana fermions inch closer to reality
The search for Majorana fermions is quickly becoming an obsession in the condensed-matter community. To understand the intense interest, I will begin with a practical definition: a Majorana fermion is a fermion that is its own antiparticle. While sophisticated particle physics experiments are testing for Majorana character in neutrinos propagating in three dimensions [1], solid state physicists...
متن کاملBrain-machine interface: closer to therapeutic reality?
Various neurological diseases and traumatic injuries permanently abolish sensorimotor functions, dramatically aff ecting the quality of life of millions of individuals. Progress continues in the development of neural repair interventions to enhance functional recovery after neuromotor disorders in animals. So far, no interventions have shown effi cacy in the restoration of useful sensorimotor f...
متن کاملHost transcriptomics for diagnosis of infectious diseases: one step closer to clinical application.
One of the most common and challenging situations that physicians face in their daily clinical practice is the diagnosis and management of patients with acute respiratory infections. Until recently, the most common and “practical” approach followed by clinicians was to treat the majority of these patients empirically with antibiotics. The pragmatic argument has been that antibiotics are prescri...
