CathI - Training System for PTCA. A Step Closer to Reality
The number of minimally invasive cardiological interventions has increased over the last few years and therefore computer based training systems find growing interest. They offer a better learning schedule compared to traditional master-apprentice models due to the repeatability of the learning situation and the possibility to learn individual tasks. Below we present the research system CathI t...

متن کاملGene Therapy for Type 1 Diabetes Moves a Step Closer to Reality
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is assuming pandemic proportions and is currently estimated at 285 million cases (1). Although most cases are due to obesity-associated type 2 DM, there is also an increase in the annual prevalence of type 1 DM (2). It is estimated that 10% of the diabetic population have type 1 DM.

متن کاملSomatic gene therapy to treat heart failure is one step closer to reality.
Despite recent advances in heart failure therapy, patients with end-stage cardiac failure have a poor prognosis and die within 5 years. Diagnosis of the hereditary form of heart failure is becoming increasingly prevalent due to the identification of causative mutations in many structural genes encoding contractile and cytoskeletal proteins. The majority of muscular dystrophies including Duchenn...
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...
