 Nuclear Medicine in Pharmaceutical Research
Huge sums of money are invested annually by the pharmaceutical industry into
improved treatments for diseases including cancer, arthritis and AIDS. In the
United Kingdom alone, almost one fifth of all industrial research and development
is performed by the pharmaceutical industry, which in turn puts back more than
one fifth of... | | Endocrine Disrupters in Wastewater and Sludge Treatment Processes
Although the hypothesis that environmental chemicals may exhibit endocrine disrupting
effects is not new, being raised by Allen and Doisy in 1924, again by Dodds
et al. in 1938, and in the 1950s by Burlington and Lindeman, the issue has seen a
growing level of concern due to reports of increased incidences of ... | | Microfluidics for Biotechnology (Microelectromechanical Systems)
Since the concept of the first DNA biochip, biotechnologies have soared, deeply
changing the world of biology. In fact, they have already had direct implications on
each of us. Since the very beginning of this science in the 1980s, spectacular
advances have been made, such as the analysis of the human DNA genome
sequence, while... |

Text Atlas of Podiatric Dermatology
For many years there has been a very positive link between podiatry and clinical dermatology, but unfortunately they largely
remain apart in most medical cultures, both in training and in practice. Where they have begun to overlap in the clinical
treatment of foot dermatological problems the benefits rapidly become obvious to those... | | Pediatric and Adolescent Musculoskeletal MRI: A Case-Based Approach
MRI has transformed the field of pediatric and adolescent musculoskeletal imaging.
When the more senior (and gray haired) of the two authors completed his pediatric
radiology training, orthopedic radiology was a primarily plain film based discipline,
occasionally supplemented by arthrography. Although much could be gleaned from... | | Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Contemporary Cardiology)
Since the successful invention of the first Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
system by Damadian et al. for cancer diagnosis three decades ago, the medical use of
MRI has developed rapidly applicable to a wide range of diseases. Since the first
attempt to image the heart with MRI in the early 1980s, extensive hardware and software... |

| | Insulin Resistance: Insulin Action and its Disturbances in Disease
Hormone resistance syndromes are typically thought of as rare, usually genetic,
disorders with a severe but relatively stereotyped clinical and biochemical profile.
While there are syndromes of severe insulin resistance that conform to
this description, defective insulin action is of much more pervasive biomedical
importance.... | | Primary Intraocular Lymphoma
In medicine and science, two inseparable sisters, a modern renaissance has
occurred in which the pursuit of knowledge has provided the world with
fascinating discoveries and answers to age-old questions. Perhaps one of
the most shining and striking moments in this modern renaissance was
the elucidation of the human genome. From... |
