The application of microwaves in medicine has recently obtained renewed attention within the scientific community through emerging techniques in breast cancer detection (microwave tomography and ultra-wide-band radar imaging), high power ablation as well as microwave angioplasty and lipoplasty (Rosen et al., 2002). Nevertheless, more established techniques reported in the literature based on RF...

A mrinone has been a great forerunner of noncatechol and nonglycoside novel cardiotonic agents and given an extraordinary strong impact in the development of novel cardiotonic agents. Unexpectedly, amrinone failed to rescue the patients with chronic heart failure, thereby produced a prominent paradigm shift from inotropic to cardioprotective therapy, and contributed to advances in the current p...

TOPIC: Imaging TYPE: Original Investigations PURPOSE: Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is the most common form of lung chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, often presenting as severe airflow obstruction. Prior studies have shown associations between quantitative CT (qCT) air trapping (AT) and airway morphometry (AM) measurements F...

There is great therapeutic interest in manipulating (either enhancing or suppressing) G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signal transduction. However, most current strategies are limited to pharmacological activation or blockade of receptors. Human gene therapy, including both overexpression and antisense approaches, may allow manipulation of GPCR signaling at steps distal to receptors. To fully...
