Computerized tomography (CT) offers the gold standard in terms of imaging the extent of disease and the fine detailed anatomy, both pre-requisites to the safe practice of endoscopic sinus surgery. Neither plain X-rays nor magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offer optimal information in this respect. A variety of protocols minimizing radiation dose to the lens whilst providing high quality images a...

High throughput intracellular delivery strategies, electroporation, passive and TATHA2 facilitated diffusion of colloidal silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are investigated for cellular toxicity and uptake using state-of-art analytical techniques. The TATHA2 facilitated approach efficiently delivered high payload with no toxicity, pre-requisites for intracellular applications of plasmonic metal nano...

Rhinoplasty is considered to be one of the most challenging procedures in otolaryngology head and neck surgery. Meticulous planning and excellent surgical skills are pre-requisites for reproducible good outcomes. More than 100 years after the first rhinoplasty, many controversies regarding indication and techniques remain unresolved. The aim of this article is to review current concepts and arg...

One of the main precision medicine's promises is nutrigenomics; still far from being a widespread attitude for the laypeople, it is certainly one of the most challenging aspect of the near to come health care system based on personalized medicine. Thus, we welcome books like this one that is exploring the pre-requisites to get a better health care in the new millennium.....

Fracture healing requires two major pre-requisites; sufficient blood supply and mechanical stability [1-2]. Optimum mechanical conditions for fracture healing remain unknown, but micro-movements of the fracture fragments are significant to a developing healing callus [2-3]. This study uses Finite Element analysis to evaluate an idealized neck fracture callus, for single, and two lag screw intra...

This paper outlines the epigenetic logic of the emergence and elaboration of symbolization. The account is based upon considerations arising from the study of the ontogenesis and phylogenesis of symbolic communication, abstraction from which yields generalizations regarding the necessary developmental pre-requisites for the capacity for symbolization and the processes of the elaboration of symb...
