Goal: To describe the presenting signs of an Acanthamoeba infection.
Objectives: Upon completion of this activity, dermatologists and general practitioners should be able to: 1. Discuss the clinical presentation of Acanthamoeba infection. 2. Describe the conditions that make a patient susceptible to Acanthamoeba. 3. Outline treatment options for Acanthamoeba infection. CME: This article has been peer reviewed and approved by Michael Fisher, MD, Professor of Medicine, Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Review Date: April 2001.

University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Purpose: Image-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is widely used to predict intracranial aneurysm wall shear stress (WSS), particularly with the goal of improving rupture risk assessment. Nevertheless, concern has been expressed over the variability of predicted WSS and inconsistent associations with rupture. Previous challenges, and studies from individual groups, have focused on individual aspects of the image-based CFD pipeline.

Over the past decade, breast radiologists have been increasingly asked to fulfill a new dynamic role as medical directors of breast imaging centers. To our knowledge, there are no standardized job descriptions nor defined roles and responsibilities for this position. Job descriptions are usually crafted to fit unique institutional and individual situations.

Purpose: VX-710 (biricodar, Incel) restores drug sensitivity to cells expressing P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP1). MRP1 is expressed in a high proportion of prostate tumors while P-gp expression is variable. Since mitoxantrone (M) and prednisone (P) are substrates for MDR transporters, we initiated a study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of VX-710 plus M/P in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRPC).
