In an interesting article Wieteke van Dijk and colleagues argue that societal developments and values influence the practice of medicine, and thus can result in both medicalisation and overdiagnosis. They provide a convincing argument that overdiagnosis emerges in a social context and that it has socially constructed implications. However, they fail to show that overdiagnosis per se is socially...

In 2010, van Dijk, Gentry, Halevi, and Vaikuntanathan described the first fully homomorphic encryption over the integers, called DGHV. The scheme is based on a set of m public integers ci = pqi + ri, i = 1, · · · ,m, where the integers p, qi and ri are secret. In this paper, we describe two lattice-based attacks on DGHV. The first attack is applicable when r1 = 0 and the public integers ci sati...

Very few lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) have been caught in the act of transferring lipids in vivo from a donor membrane to an acceptor membrane. Now, two studies (Halter, D., S.
