Every year, hundreds of thousands of children worldwide are born with sickle cell disease, a genetic disorder that impacts the hemoglobin molecules in blood. If left undiagnosed and untreated, most affected children will die before reaching the age of five. However, highly accurate diagnostic methods and effective treatment regimens for sickle cell disease have been known for many years, and children who receive early diagnosis and subsequent comprehensive care survive well into adulthood-as evidenced by the tremendous success of universal newborn screening programs in North America and Europe.

In spring 2020, the pandemic began shutting down the world—restaurants, colleges, even entire cities felt emptied and closed. A cloud of uncertainty lingered over most parts of the world and altered our daily schedules and tasks. But for a wide segment of society, it wasn’t the toilet paper, or the masks, or the isolation from their families that hurt the worst—it was the sudden uncertainty around one of the most fundamental aspects of our lives: reproduction.

When I started graduate school, I had no idea that it would take me halfway around the world to a small clinic in Cabinda, Angola, but I'm glad that it did. Since 2011, I have been a part of the team of engineers and clinicians, led by Dr. Sergey Shevkoplyas, working to develop a simple, low-cost, paper-based test for sickle cell disease-a common inherited blood disorder that is most prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa (Figure S1).

The article presents information on the call for paper submission by the journal for March 2013 issue.

A call for papers for the special issue of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine about the emergence of long term evolution (LTE) communications to be published on June 1, 2011 is presented.

A call for papers for the Special Issue of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Transactions on Biomedical Engineering (TBME) Letters on Emerging Technologies in Point-of-Care Health Care to be published in December 2010 is presented.

The article offers tips on scientific writing and manuscript preparation, and states that if a document fails to communicate the information efficiently so that the reader can understand, then the communication is considered meaningless. Topics discussed include differences between papers of journals and those presented at conference proceedings, organization of manuscripts and writing styles, and common writing problems and word choice and usage.

The article calls for papers for the 3rd American Medical Association (AMA)-IEEE Medical Technology Conference: Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine to be held by the AMA and the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society in Houston, Texas in November 2012.

The article calls for papers for the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) Micro- and Nanoengineering in Medicine Conference (MNMC) to be held in Hawaii in December 2012.

My secretary at the University of Maryland labeled it Working Away From the Office (WAFO). It was my routine to stay home on Wednesdays and write papers, author books, make teaching plans, or grade papers and reports. I would be in my office Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, but everyone in our department soon got used to my absence on Wednesday. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Scientists striving for impact in their fields and to develop their own careers must publish papers that represent new and important science, typically in a peer-reviewed journal. The number of scientific articles published has doubled every nine years since WWII, and now stands at more than 3 million peer-reviewed articles annually from more than 34,000 scholarly journals.

For Ashley Zappia (Figure 1), getting her hands dirty was part of her job. Even though she always tried to remain as clean as possible, her work as a nursing aide at a Southern California hospital required a lot of diapering, changing, and other hands-on tasks. She was mostly in the ER, where physical contact with bodily fluids from sick patients was normal. She was careful to wash her hands frequently, even though she almost always wore gowns and gloves with all patients. Every time she left or entered a room, she lathered her hands in hand-sanitizer gel. Just 27 years old, she was young and healthy. On paper, she was at low risk for infection. That?s why, at first, she thought little of a urinary tract infection (UTI) that seemed to appear out of nowhere. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hans Berger published the first human electroencephalograph (EEG) recording in 1924 [1]. He used a device called the string galvanometer to record brain waves on a light-sensitive plate. The fluctuating potential difference from the scalp oscillated at eight to 13 cycles per second (alpha rhythm) when an individual closed his or her eyes and remained relaxed but awake. Berger noted that when a person fell asleep, the alpha rhythm disappeared. Amazingly, to this day, the alpha rhythm disappearance remains the primary marker for defining sleep onset. Years later, Carl Ludwig invented a kymograph (the ?wave writer?) that used a stylus to record electroencephalographic oscillation on a rotating drum. Later, an alternative approach evolved so that the brain wave recordings were inked onto a roll or fan-folded continuous paper strip moving at a constant speed. Mechanical engineers gradually improved the drive mechanisms for moving paper by using rotating sprockets, pinch rollers, and pressure plates. Gear mechanisms were also incorporated to permit speed changes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Every year, Doris's primary care physician sends her to see a neurologist to check on her hand tremor, which has increasingly worsened over the past 20 years. Year in and year out, the neurologist asks her to draw a circle on a piece of paper. "The doctor looks at it, says 'Hmm,' and sends me home," Doris explains, adding that she gets no treatment, no recommendations, nothing except a request to schedule next year's appointment.

We are in the midst of a CRISPR craze. The last five years have seen the publication of over 1,000 scientific papers, the allocation of millions of research dollars, and the establishment of four start-up companies in the United States alone. Internationally, the genome-editing market, fueled by CRISPR technology, is expected to be worth more than US$3,000 million by 2019. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
