,the Canadian Network for Vaccines and Immunotherapeutics, has announcedthe development of a new method to assess how well the thymus (an organlocated at the base of the neck) works and the discovery of afunctional abnormality of this organ in HIV-infected individuals. Theteam of investigators led by Dr. Rafick-Pierre Sékaly, professor atUniversi...New Insights Into HIV Immunity Suggest Alternative Approach to Vaccines
New insights by Duke University Medical Center researchers as to how HIV evades the human immune system may offer a new approach for developing HIV vaccines. The findings suggest some HIV vaccines may have failed because they induce a class of antibodies that a patient's own immune system is programmed to destroy. The Duke team discovered that certain broadly protective antibodies, which...Stopping smallpox in its tracks: A new anti-viral approach
Natural or deliberate exposure to smallpox poses a great health threat, especially since routine smallpox vaccinations have been discontinued and no clinically approved treatment currently exists. In the February 1 issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Ellis Reinherz and colleagues from Harvard Medical School propose a new antiviral therapy ?a low molecular weight inhibitor of signaling...Acrylamide Polymerization A Practical Approach
Paul Menter, Bio-Rad Laboratories, 2000 Alfred Nobel Drive,Hercules, CA 94547 USA The unparalleled resolution and flexibility possible with polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) has led to its widespread use for the separation of proteins and nucleic acids. Gel porosity can be varied over a...Simple Approaches for Optimization of RT-PCR
RT-PCR is a powerful tool for analysis of gene expression and for characterization of RNA splice variants. RT-PCR is generally carried out as either one-step RT-PCR, in which all reagents are combined in one tub...Kind approach to leveraging biofuels

Kidney stones, which are often extremely painful to excrete, cost billions of dollars each year in medical care and lost productivity. While the stones can sometimes be prevented by drinking plenty of water, avoiding infections and emptying the bladder frequently,// medication to reduce the excretion of calcium in urine may be prescribed. These drugs may increase cholesterol and can cause...Fresh approach to TB treatment
A NOVEL approach to the treatment of tuberculosis (TB) has been investigated by a team of molecular geneticists in the United Kingdom, following the direction of a new gene in mycobacteria, one type of which causes the disease.//The presence of the gene opens up opportunities for the use of azole drugs which are already available for ht etreatment of fungal infections. These treatments...Approaching through Telemedicine benefits patients
According to researchers, a new study shows that getting primary care physicians and their patients together with specialists through videoconferencing technology is an excellent way to extend the communication between doctors and patients.// Doctors from the Royal University College Medical School in London tested the "virtual outreach" method in a group of more than 2,000 patients se...New approach to anti-anxiety drugs
Researchers have found that lack of a brain protein makes mice notably less anxious and may extend the findings to humans with anxiety disorders. Anxiety is a natural human response to life,// but when it gets out of hand it can inhibit everyday behaviour and cause much suffering. Around 15 million people might have had the necessity for anxiety related treatment.The anti-anxiety drugs ha...More signs to an approaching migraine attack
A new study by researchers at the Institute of Neurology, London has shown thatthere are several preliminaries to a migraine attack. The researchers whostudied 97 people with migraine attacks that identification of these symptomswould give new insights into the condition and also help manage it better.// The group of 97 participants were given a hand-held electronic diary to reco...Temporal Approach Lid Speculum

Description:Straight shafts, cross action. Round handle. Divides nucleus for phacoemulsification. Nuclear division is attained without grooving. Nuclei of any hardness can be pre-chopped with pre-chop forceps and nucleus sustainer. Phaco of pre-chopped nuclear fragments is rapid. Risk of rupturing posterior capsule during grooving is diminished. Shortened ultra sound time and minimal movement of phaco tip mi...Akahoshi Combo Prechop (temporal approach)
