SOME RECENT RHINOLOGIC ACHIEVEMENTS AND TENDENCIES.

Wind tunnel dispersion modelling some recent and not so recent achievements

A selection of illustrative examples is used in reviewing wind tunnel and water tank modelling of atmospheric dispersion, the aim being to discuss cases where the laboratory work has been a key factor in developing scientific understanding and instigating further research. The areas included are: basic dispersion processes, plume rise, buildings effects, urban areas, dense gas dispersion, conce...

Stroke prevention: recent achievements and new challenges

Stroke remains a major health problem despite the great efforts made worldwide to fight against it. Despite therapeutic achievements to treat ischemic stroke patients in stroke units with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), prevention remains the most powerful strategy to cure this complex disease. Stroke is a heterogeneous and multi-factorial disease caused by the combination of vascular risk ...

Canonical HSC Markers and Recent Achievements

Polymeric Prodrugs: Recent Achievements and General Strategies

Improving the therapeutic index of drugs is a major impetus for innovation in many therapeutic areas. Conventional drug delivery systems (tablets, capsules, pills, suppositories, creams, ointments, liquids, aerosols and injectables, as drug carriers) involving a number of non-specific administrations of a drug may have contraindications such as variable drug concentrations and excessive drug pr...

Cancer biomarker detection: recent achievements and challenges.

The early detection of cancer can significantly reduce cancer mortality and saves lives. Thus, a great deal of effort has been devoted to the exploration of new technologies to detect early signs of the disease. Cancer biomarkers cover a broad range of biochemical entities, such as nucleic acids, proteins, sugars, small metabolites, and cytogenetic and cytokinetic parameters, as well as entire ...
