Abstract
Secondary health data are becoming important sources of information for health research. Unfortunately, there are few national guidelines outlining clear criteria for data custodians when adjudicating requests for access to these data. This presents a particular challenge to researchers and even publ...

Abstract
I propose that psychological science can in fact be so disentangled; nevertheless, the resulting methods are never adopted or deployed outside of culturally constituted interests, objectives, and motivations, thereby requiring ongoing critical engagement with the subtexts of disciplinary knowledge p...

Abstract
The comparative study of vertebrate brains is inherently dependent upon access to a sufficient number of species and specimens to perform meaningful comparisons. Although many studies rely on compiling published information, continued specimen collection, in addition to more extensiv...

Abstract
INTRODUCTION, FACILITIES, AND METHODS: Decompression sickness (DCS) occurring in hypobaric environments related to aviation or spaceflight was a major focus of research at Brooks AFB/City-Base, TX, throughout the period 1960-2010. Multiple hypobaric chambers and extensive support facilities were buil...

Abstract
With the impending termination of USAF operations at Brooks Air Force Base (AFB) in San Antonio, TX, it is time to consider its historic role in Aerospace Medicine. The base was established in 1917 as a flight training center for the U.S. Army Air Service and in 1926 became home to its School of Avia...

Abstract
We can note that science has caught up with science fiction. These changes in public mentality on one side and in scientific capacities on the other argue for an evolution of the debate on sciences. The recent example of the national debate on nanotechnology in France has clearly shown that the publ...

Abstract
We review the application of metabolomics in cancer and mitochondrial studies and its role in enabling the understanding of altered metabolism and malignant transformation during cancer growth and metastasis. The recent developments in the area of metabolic flux analysis may help to close the gap be...

Abstract
Science and mountain exploration are closely linked throughout history. A large array of studies of varying complexity have been performed in conditions of hypobaric hypoxia, some on field studies, some in hypobaric chambers. The military has contributed greatly to this body of evidence both through...

Abstract
We give an overview of current technologies to study signal transduction. We argue that along with the opportunities the new technologies open, their heterogeneous nature poses critical challenges for data handling that are further increased when data are to be integrated in mathematical models. Eff...

Abstract
Accidents can lead to difficult boundary situations. Such situations often take place in the emergency units. The medical team thus often and inevitably faces professional uncertainty in their decision-making. It is essential to communicate these uncertainties within the medical team, instead of dow...
