Review of the Effects of 17 Alpha-Estradiol in Humans: a Less Feminizing Estrogen with Neuroprotective Potential
A number of studies suggest neuroprotective potential in human neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease.

Trauma Pod: a Semi-Automated Telerobotic Surgical System
The Trauma Pod (TP) vision is to develop a rapidly deployable robotic system to perform critical acute stabilization and/or surgical procedures, autonomously or in a teleoperative mode.

Functional IL-10 Gene Polymorphism is Associated with Chagas Disease Cardiomyopathy
This study was designed to determine whether the functional IL-10 gene polymorphism −1082G/A is associated with the development of cardiomyopathy in individuals infected with Trypanosoma cruzi.

Genome-Wide and Candidate Gene Association Study of Cigarette Smoking Behaviors
The contribution of common genetic variation to one or more established smoking behaviors was investigated in a joint analysis of two genome wide association studies.

The Annoyance of Snoring
Is the annoyance of snoring a reliable tool for the measurement of snoring or does it depend more on the sensitivity of the listener?
-
Atherosclerosis and Matrix Metalloproteinases: Experimental Molecular MR Imaging in Vivo
P947 improved MR imaging for atherosclerosis through MMP-specific targeting. The results were validated and provide support for further assessment of P947 as a potential tool for the identification of unstable…

Expression of Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors and Subunit Messenger RNAs in the Enteric Nervous System of the Neonatal Rat
The expression of heteromeric nAChR and receptor subunit mRNAs was investigated in the neonatal rat ENS using receptor autoradiography with the radiolabeled ligand 125I-epibatidine, and in situ hybridization with subtype specific probes for…

Rodent Models of Nicotine Reward: What Do They Tell Us About Tobacco Abuse in Humans?
Here we discuss the most commonly used animal models including, self-administration (SA), place conditioning (PC), and the intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) paradigms in rodents.

Analyzing Online Teacher Networks: Cyber Networks Require Cyber Research Tools
The authors argue that conceptual and methodological limitations in existing research approaches severely hamper theory building and empirical exploration of teacher learning and collaboration through cyber-enabled networks.

Towards a Pilot-Scale Membrane System for Pre-Combustion CO2 Separation
Initial results indicate that the increase in cost of electricity (COE) for the PBI based capture system is significantly less than that of a Selexol based capture system.
