Article Synopsis
- - The study introduces two significant enhancements to polygon scanning microscopes that improve imaging resolution and control over a wide field of view, focusing on easier scanning angle adjustments.
- - A new data sampling technique boosts image contrast more than 2-fold and allows for the capture of highly detailed 100-megapixel digital images at a rate of 0.25 Hz.
- - These advancements enable better visualization of biological processes, such as fluorescence recovery in vesicles and blood flow dynamics during injury, broadening the capabilities of polygon scanning microscopes in quantitative biological imaging.
Background: Effective approaches to education about asthma need to be identified. We evaluated the impact on asthma control by children and their caregivers of an intervention involving small-group, interactive education about asthma.
Methods: We randomly assigned children who visited an emergency department for an exacerbation of asthma (n = 398) to either of 2 groups.
Background: Although guidelines for the diagnosis and management of asthma have been published over the last 15 years, there has been little focus on issues relating to asthma in childhood. Since the last revision of the 1999 Canadian asthma consensus report, important new studies, particularly in children, have highlighted the need to incorporate this new information into asthma guidelines.
Objectives: To review the literature on asthma published between January 2000 and June 2003 and to evaluate the influence of new evidence on the recommendations made in the Canadian Asthma Consensus Report, 1999 and its 2001 update with a major focus on pediatric issues.
