INTRODUCTION Recruitment and retention of allied health professionals (AHPs) to remote and rural Australia is challenging and correlates with poorer health status of remote and rural residents. While much has been written about the recruitment and retention problem, this study took a new approach by reviewing the literature describing the motivation of AHPs to work in remote and rural areas and...

Defects in the extrinsic pathway are linked to several disease states, including cancer. Pharmacologic manipulation of the extrinsic pathway holds exciting promise for cancer treatment. This review will discuss the current understanding of the molecular signaling events that originate from extracellular sources to initiate apoptosis, how the pathway is activated by conventional chemotherapeutic...

The cerebral cortex is a complex six-layered structure that contains an important diversity of neurons, and has rich local and extrinsic connectivity. Among the mechanisms governing the cerebral cortex construction, neuronal migration is perhaps the most crucial as it ensures the timely formation of specific and selective neuronal circuits. Here, we review the main extrinsic and extrinsic facto...
