The most fundamental question in considering deliberate introductions of exotic species against invasive species is whether the outcomes can be predicted precisely enough a priori to know with some certainty that the benefits will outweigh the environmental costs. This issue is obscured by reiteration of an overly simplistic description of the ecology underlying biological control. Classical bi...

The enormous benefits of inhibition of ACE demonstrate that manipulation of the metabolism of peptide hormones is a valuable therapeutic strategy for cardiovascular disease. Recent attempts to expand these benefits have combined ACE inhibition with inhibition of other peptidases such as neutral endopeptidase (NEP) in a single molecule, a strategy known as vasopeptidase inhibition. NEP metaboliz...
متن کاملSunscreen- The Double Edged Sword
Sunscreens have long being recognized as substances to provide effective protection against the detrimental effects of solar radiation. The deleterious effects of sun exposure can be either acute (e.g. sunburn and drug-induced photo toxicity) or chronic (potential long-term risks of repeated sun exposures like solar elastosis, keratoses, induction of skin cancers, and alteration of immune respo...

chemotherapy or HIV. Therefore, flight attendants and others say that airplane cabin air should be held to higher standards than workplaces. Pressure from passengers may be a major contributing factor in encouraging airlines to increase fresh air. In the August issue of Consumer Reports, airlines were ranked according to levels of carbon dioxide in airplane cabins and criticized for the low amo...

Ischemic heart disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. The survival after acute ischemic events has improved substantially in recent years, but new syndromes have emerged. Cardiac remodeling following a large myocardial infarction, with dilatation of the left ventricle, has deleterious hemodynamic consequences and is a major cause of chronic heart failure.1 The increased inc...
