As depicted by the cover image, this special issue unites seemingly disparate items and objects. However, importantly, all these items are related to the theme, " ICT for Assessment and Rehabilitation in Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders. " Under this rubric, our special issue addresses four subtopics: assessment, rehabilitation, virtual reality (VR), and education. In the last decade, ...

Awakening heterochromatin ites in the human genome once thought to be inert structural material are brought to life in response to stress, according to results from Jolly et al. (page 25). These inactive DNA stretches are binding sites for HSF1, a transcription factor that activates individual heat shock genes and accumulates in nuclear granules after heat shock. These granules were, like HSF1,...

The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists defined telepsychiatry as ‘the use of communication technology to provide psychiatric services from a distance’ (Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists 1999). The technologies can include landline phones, mobile phones (using voice and/or texting), e-mail, social networking websites, illness-specific computer progr...

PURPOSE Suture anchors are used consistently for repairs of soft tissues, especially around the glenohumeral joint. These anchors can be used either arthroscopically or in an open procedure to anatomically restore the labrum and capsular tissues to the glenoid after avulsion injuries (Bankart lesion). The purpose of this study was to analyze the pullout strength of a new knotless suture anchor ...

One of the biggest spots of science communication is plagiarism. This despicable practice, although it is practiced by a small percentage of scientists has created many hitches and put under suspicion the serious studies of those engaged in science as a form of knowledge to improve the condition of life on our planet. Plagiarism was one of the dominant themes of the XXI Scientific Publishing Co...

Medical History, the first British journal devoted to the subject, was begun in 1957 under the editorship of William J Bishop, who had been the Librarian of the then Wellcome Historical Medical Library until 1953. Published by William Dawson, its cover stated that it was the official organ of the Cambridge University History of Medicine Society, The Norwegian Society for the History of Medicine...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal knot configuration that maximized both knot and loop security when tied with 2 different types of nonabsorbable, braided suture. TYPE OF STUDY In vitro biomechanical study. METHODS Six commonly used arthroscopic sliding knots (Duncan loop, Nicky's knot, Tennessee slider, Roeder knot, SMC knot, Weston knot) with and without a ser...

A long with its DNA, a fungal cell might also hand down nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) to its offspring. A nuclear pore protein paves the way for the complexes to move from mother cell to daughter, Makio et al. and Colombi et al. reveal (1, 2). Researchers think that vertebrate cells don’t transfer intact NPCs to their progeny. The roughly 30 proteins, or nucleoporins, that make up a pore comple...
