This article discusses a focal issue in the field of public relations: the way that practitioners use academic theories. The possible modes of use are discussed and a new perspective on science use —the translation model—is outlined. The premise of this model is that scientific knowledge is seldom used in an unaltered form in practice. Scientific notions are interpreted, reframed, and adapted t...

Objective: Cardiovascular risk increases in patients with schizophrenia. In our study, it was aimed to predict the 10-year of developing cardiovascular disease using Framingham score schizophrenia living nursing homes
 Materials and Methods: sociodemographic clinical characteristics homes, such as age, gender, educational status, duration disease, treatments used, scoring which included ge...

BACKGROUND Pulsed dye laser (PDL) is the gold standard for treatment of port-wine stain (PWS) birthmarks but multiple treatments are required and complete resolution is often not achieved. Posttreatment vessel recurrence is thought to be a factor that limits efficacy of PDL treatment of PWS. Imiquimod 5% cream is an immunomodulator with antiangiogenic effects. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine...

Microarray measurements are being widely used to infer gene functions, identify regulatory mechanisms and to predict phenotypes. These measurements are usually made and recorded to high numerical precision (e.g. 0.24601). However, aspects of the underlying biology, including mRNA molecules being highly unstable, being only available in very small copy numbers and the measurements usually being ...

The reconstruction of genetic networks in mammalian systems is one of the primary goals in biological research, especially as such reconstructions relate to elucidating not only common, polygenic human diseases, but living ...
