In the past few years, fast computed tomography evolved as a new diagnostic tool for cardiac diseases including calcium screening and non-invasive coronary angiography. Electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) was for over a decade the only modality to visualize structures of the heart without

Abstract Investigations of biological invasions focus on patterns and processes that are related to introduction, establishment, spread and impacts of introduced species. This review focuses on the ecological interactions operating during invasions by the most prominent group of insect vectors

We introduce a model of stochastic evolutionary game dynamics in finite populations which is similar to the familiar replicator dynamics for infinite populations. Our focus is on the conditions for selection favoring the invasion and/or fixation of new phenotypes. For infinite populations

, and interact with educational software. Work with humans has shown that it is possible for them to move a cursor and even to drive a wheelchair. This paper briefly reviews the field of BCI, with a focus on non-invasive systems based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. It also describes three brain

and invasive aspergillosis. Furthermore, the clinical effectiveness of micafungin against these infections occurs without the drug interactions that occur with the azoles and the nephrotoxicity observed with amphotericin B formulations. This review will focus on the pharmacology, clinical microbiology

Background: Differences in pathogenicity between pneumococcal serotypes are important when assessing the potential benefit of different valency vaccines. We investigated the effect of serotype on clinical presentation, outcome, and quality of life lost from invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD

A major issue is to validate, in vivo, the molec-ular and cellular events analyzed in vitro. If one focuses on invasion of the intestinal barrier, it is clear that L. monocytogenes, Shigella, Salmonel-la, and Yersinia, despite their shared capacity to invade epithelial cells in vitro, differ

Webpage evaluation and metrics have historically focused on page-level characteristics or on key words. We introduce an automated technique for graphically measuring specific elements on a webpage. Our technique provides a means to increase the fidelity of webpage analysis and introduces a novel

perceived invasion of the body. Concern has focused on the potential for more complications, related to poorer operative visualization and the learning curve for new methods. Remarkably, despite widespread marketing of minimally invasive methods by com-panies and orthopaedic surgeons and much dissemination
