[source] Introductory Remarks: Bacterial Endosymbionts or Pathogens of Free-Living Amebae,THE JOURNAL OF EUKARYOTIC MICROBIOLOGY, Issue 5 2004FRANCINE MARCIANO-CABRAL ABSTRACT Free-living amebae are ubiquitous in the environment and can be isolated from a variety of habitats including water, soil, air, hospital water systems, dental units, contact lens cases, and cooling towers. The interaction of amebae with other microorganisms in their environment is varied. Bacteria are a major food source for free-living amebae. However, some bacteria have established a stable symbiotic relationship with amebae. Recent reports indicate an association of amebae with intracellular bacterial pathogens. Such amebae may serve as reservoirs for maintaining and dispersing pathogenic bacteria in the environment or as vectors of bacterial disease in humans.

The references are designed to take the clinical reader into areas and journals that they might not normally read. In particular we have concentrated on recent advances that suggest CFTR has functions that do not relate to chloride transport alone. In forthcoming issues of the journal the topics covered range from prospects and difficulties in the translation of new therapies into clinical practice, the regulation of the defective gene (promoters, enhancers, silencers, etc.), regulation and interaction of the CFTR protein product with other proteins in the cell, to functional approaches using developmental and secretory paradigms. These themes have been chosen to bring controversies at the cutting edge of cystic fibrosis research to the practicing pulmonologist in order to stimulate lateral thinking, which we hope will ultimately benefit our patients.

[source] The Role of Intellectual Property in the Global Challenge for ImmunizationTHE JOURNAL OF WORLD INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, Issue 4 2006Tarcísio Hardman Reis The contemporary scenario of international immunization is focused on the implementation of vaccination programs in developing countries, which demonstrates obvious similarities with the policy "access to medicines" under the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights. However, the debate on immunization involves distinct elements and presents different concerns and obstacles, which will be presented throughout this study. Three introductory remarks need to be made in order to place intellectual property (IP) as a core problem of global immunization. The first is that immunization is a world priority. The second is that the global immunization challenge faces the hurdle of the poverty gap. Finally, IP plays a controversial role in the implementation of immunization programs in less developed countries.

Ash Migration; Wissenschaftstransfer; Wissenschaftswandel; Wissenstransfer. Abstract Knowledge and science transfer , introductory remarks. The article presents introductory remarks on the historical study of knowledge and science transfer. Discussion focuses initially on the reasons for speaking of knowledge transfer and not only about science transfer, and the relations of this topic to current research in general history on cultural transfer. Multiple levels of knowledge / science transfer are then discussed, specifically: (1) transfer by means of migration or other movement of people across geographic boundaries; (2) scientific changes related to the transfer of objects (such as plant specimens or instruments) across continents or disciplines; (3) knowledge or science transfer in practical contexts. Addressed throughout is the problematic character of the concept of transfer itself. The author suggests that users of this concept often presuppose a static conception of scientific and cultural contents being more or less successfully transferred; more interesting, however, are the changes in science and culture conditioned or caused by the migration of individuals as well as the transfer of culture by other means.
