Dermatology: Where are We Coming from and Where are We Going to?

INTRODUCTION For centuries, skin diseases have been described according to their macromorphological appearance and classified according the morphological description. The system of grouping morphological features in skin diseases followed the same principles as defined by Carolus Linnaeus (1707–1778) in the taxonomy of plants and animals. The major development of the morphological description o...

Accountable Care Organizations: What are they? Where are they coming from? Where will they lead?

Computer-simulated physiology experiments: where are we coming from and where might we go?

in the calf (i.e., intermittent claudication), which disappears within several minutes of ceasing activity. The hemodynamic basis for the intermittent claudication is shown in Figure 6. When walking begins, the resistance in the deep femoral vascular bed decreases and Qdf increases (active hyperemia). As this occurs, Qt falls precipitously. Although the calf muscle is also contracting, it is un...

Insecticide resistance is mediated by multiple mechanisms in recently introduced Aedes aegypti from Madeira Island (Portugal)

BACKGROUND Aedes aegypti is a major mosquito vector of arboviruses, including dengue, chikungunya and Zika. In 2005, Ae. aegypti was identified for the first time in Madeira Island. Despite an initial insecticide-based vector control program, the species expanded throughout the Southern coast of the island, suggesting the presence of insecticide resistance. Here, we characterized the insecticid...
