Patients described how their physical and emotional suffering during the long and sometimes, tortuous pathway to treatment initiation compounded already difficult socio-economic and family circumstances.
The idea is that these platforms should help drug searchers to travel rapidly on their long and tortuous journey from gene to treatment.
The sight of that face — as grotesque as an image from a horror movie yet expunged of titillation — is a shock, but we quickly get used to it, and the picture moves steadily ahead on two tracks: we see the stages of Bauby's treatment, including the tortuous but productive way he learns to write; and the tumult and ecstasy of his inner life.

In interviews, some undergraduates said the administration had become bogged down in confidentiality rules and its own tortuous procedures, missing a bigger truth about the treatment of women, who make up slightly more than half of the student body.
Better deployment systems allow for partial deployment of endografts to facilitate repositioning, and more flexible designs allow for treatment of angulated infrarenal aneurysm necks and tortuous iliac arteries.
It was also discovered that δ was similar in length for different tortuous paths in a complex microchannel network after plasma treatment through a single inlet port.
Endovascular management of thoracoabdominal aneurysms has been studied since 2001, with marked advances allowing for the treatment of complex anatomic situations including chronic aortic dissections, tortuous anatomy, and extensive aneurysms that involve the visceral segment, aortic arch, and iliacs as well.
Intravitreal injection of VEGF has been reported to cause retinal edema, dilated and tortuous vessels, and capillary closure in adult primates, [ 22] while treatment with bevacizumab (a monoclonal antibody targeting VEGF) or ranibizumab (an Fab fragment that binds and neutralizes all isoforms of VEGF-A) improves macular edema in patients with BRVO [ 23- 25].
These devices however proved to be too rigid for intracranial application in patients with tortuous supra-aortic and intracranial vasculature and resulted in relatively high rates of failed treatment attempts between 4 and 14%% [ 6].
