Rall, director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), determined there was a need for a journal dedicated to research on human health and the environment, and Environmental Health Perspectives (EHP) was born. The journal published monographs on topics related to environmental human health and research papers based on conference proc...

I-4: Is It Time Now to Cancel Fresh EmbryoTransfer

The implantation of embryo depends on the quality of the embryo and the receptivity of the endometrium. While the factors affecting embryo quality were optimized, the implantation rates did not reach the desirable levels. This directs the blaming for endometrial receptivity which already has been affected by supra-physiological levels of hormone, namely estradiol, in controlled ovarian hypersti...

Assisted mechanical ventilation: the future is now!

Assisted ventilation is a highly complex process that requires an intimate interaction between the ventilator and the patient. The complexity of this form of ventilation is frequently underappreciated by the bedside clinician. In assisted mechanical ventilation, regardless of the specific mode, the ventilator's gas delivery pattern and the patient's breathing pattern must match near perfectly o...

Perioperative Ultrasound: The Future Is Now.

Defined Radios - The Future is Now

A Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a radio in which all modulation and demodulation functions are defined, and therefore configurable, through software. This creates tremendous flexibility to improve and adapt the capabilities of the radio over time without changing the hardware. The potential for amateur radio experimentation is virtually limitless in terms of performance improvement and the in...
