Personalized medicine uses a patient’s individual data to make decisions tailored to their specific wants and needs. In the The Decision Tree, Thomas Goetz describes how patients can be taught to make their own personal health strategy based on the ‘‘best practices of genetics, behavioral medicine, information technology and each other.’’ An increased desire by patients to be true partners in t...

The microscopic and the macroscopic (phenomenological) approach to the electromagnetic theory in matter can be looked upon as complementary to each other. In view of the complexity of the deductive microscopic approach it is desirable to use experimental information to test the predictions of the more simple macroscopic theory. The purpose of the present paper is to review and give the theory o...

Smell identification deficits exist in schizophrenia, and may be associated with its negative symptoms. Less is known about smell identification and its clinical correlates in individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) for schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders. We examined smell identification, symptoms and IQ in 71 clinical high-risk (CHR) subjects and 36 healthy controls. Smell identific...

The membrane filter, also known as molecular filter, is valuable for its ability to permit passage of large volumes of fluid and yet retain on its surface particles of bacterial size. The history of its development and some of its properties have been reviewed by Goetz and Tsuneishi (1951). Other properties and specifications are available from the manufacturers.3 At present details of manufact...

The incidence of micronuclei (Howell-Jolly bodies) in peripheral blood erythrocytes of splenectomized and nonsplenectomized humans was evaluated as an index of genotoxic exposure. Subjects with intact spleens had very low frequencies of micronucleated cells among circulating erythrocytes, even when these individuals were exposed to known clastogenic agents used in cancer therapy (no micronuclei...

the objective of this experimental work was to assess the drop impact damage onwoven glass fibre reinforced polymer composite laminate through online method and offlinemethod. online monitoring of drop impact damage was carried out by acoustic emission (ae)technique and ae signals during the drop impact test were captured. from the analysis of aesignals, it was observed that as the impact energ...

the present study was designed to investigate the impact of applying fill-in-the-map and construct-a-map techniques on efl learners’ knowledge of tenses. to this end, sixty efl elementary female students, who were selected based on their performance on a standardized teacher-made proficiency test, were randomly assigned into two equal experimental and control groups. in order to be convinced of...
