Sir, I read the detailed description given by Lund et al.1 with great interest. Two years ago, while studying very preterm babies, I began to use an almost identical system. Since then I have made several modifications which have increased its versatility, simplified the changing of the slings, and greatly improved its acceptability for use with very small and immature subjects (Figure). As our...

BACKGROUND In the past decade, researchers have focused on developing new biomaterials for cancer therapy that combine imaging and therapeutic agents. In our study, we use a new biocompatible and biodegradable polymer, termed poly(glycerol malate co-dodecanedioate) (PGMD), for the synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) and loading of near-infrared (NIR) dyes. IR820 was chosen for the purpose of imagi...

PURPOSE Explore the usefulness of a perfusion system in order to establish human nasal epithelial cell cultures suitable for long-term in vitro ciliary beat frequency (CBF) and cilio-toxicity studies. METHODS The cells were obtained by protease digestion of nasal biopsy material. The cells were plated at a density of 0.8-1 x 10(6)/cm2 on Vitrogen-coated polyethylene terephthalate membranes, a...

To the Editor: Reading through Greek Mythology one can easily come across a series of references concerning the transportation of Newly Borns, from their birth place to other, to be “nursed–bred”, where the newborn remained until it was fully developed. A distinct example is that of Zeus’ transportation [1]. When Rea was going to give birth to Zeus, in order to save him from Cronus’ infanticide...

INTRODUCTION Neonatal imaging is of growing importance as the effects of premature birth are becoming better controlled and babies are surviving from earlier gestational ages. Prematurity can often lead to consequences for the CNS and other parts of the body and MR is highly relevant for imaging this population as it is non-invasive and so allows follow up scanning. There have been two main app...

It is now common to hear calls for increased attention to character in work organizations as well as other social institutions, from government to education to sport. Character refers to those qualities within individuals that lead them to desire and to pursue the good (Baumrind, 1998). Moral goodness can be regarded as an ungrounded grounder, a value that needs no further justification, but ou...

times after the incubator doors had been opened and closed (45 minutes to 45 hours), and in the centre of the highest and lowest shelf positions. The CO2 concentration varied between 31 % and 7-2 % and in practice a rate of between 20 and 60 ml per minute was found to support the growth of carbon dioxide requiring organisms such as newly isolated strains of N. gonorrhoeae and Br. abortus (inclu...
