Priming connections, like generating neuroplasticity, can seem less a matter of ingenious science than of basic and relentless physical therapy.
Though, over the course of the 1980s, I endured "infertility studies" in both Greece and the United States―multiple artificial inseminations, body-and-mind-warping hormone therapies, and relentless and invasive testing in my quest to produce a child, I am only certain that one pregnancy survived over two months' time.
Today, HIV/AIDS is seen as a chronic and manageable condition with continued use of HAART, even in resource-limited settings as a result of the relentless roll-out of antiretroviral therapy [24].
Dermatomyositis (DM) is a rare disorder of variable severity, ranging from mild weakness that is highly responsive to corticosteroid therapy to a relentless downhill course with pulmonary involvement that is unresponsive to all immunosuppressive modalities.
In an age of relentless cost inflation and limited therapies for debilitating illness, it makes no sense to deprive patients of autologous therapies because their physician lacks the resources – and patients lack the time – to satisfy the pre-marketing requirements that oppress even Merck and Johnson & Johnson.
Prompt and accurate diagnosis and systemic therapy can halt the relentless progression of both ocular and systemic processes, thus preventing destruction of the globe and prolonging survival.
A key unresolved issue for cancer biology and therapy is whether the relentless growth of a tumour is driven by most of its cells or, as proposed by the CSC hypothesis, exclusively by a minor subpopulation capable of self-renewal, akin to the numerically rare normal stem cells that maintain tissues (Adams et al, 2007).
Since the discovery of HCV 24 years ago, there has been a relentless effort to develop successful antiviral therapies.
Every day, countless terminally ill patients who have exhausted standard treatment options for their condition cling to the hope that an experimental, unproven therapy will provide a respite from the relentless progression of their disease, if not an outright cure.
It is possible, therefore, that persistent extracellular N-ac-PGP generation induces relentless neutrophilic airway inflammation that is resistant to statin therapy.
