    A task force was convened by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) to provide rationale for academic pharmacy engagement with organizations/institutions providing new models of team-based patient care designed to improve patient access, care quality, and affordable care. Descriptions of new care models, such as patient centered medical homes (PCMHs) and accountable care organizations (ACO), were included as well as descriptions of existing partnerships with academic pharmacy

    Effects of Exendin-4 on human adipose tissue inflammation and ECM remodelling

    Subjects with type-2 diabetes are typically obese with dysfunctional adipose tissue (AT). Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues are routinely used to improve glycaemia. Although, they also aid weight loss that improves AT function, their direct effect on AT function is unclear. To explore GLP-1 analogues’ influence on human AT’s cytokine and extracellular matrix (ECM) regulation, we therefore obtained and treated omental (OMAT) and subcutaneous (SCAT) AT samples with Exendin-4, an agonist of the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R)Final publishe

    Adaptronik- ein technischer Ansatz zur Lösung bionischer Aufgaben

    Adaptronische Systeme bieten dem Maschinenbau völlig neue Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten für Maschinen und Konstruktionselemente. Wesentlich und grundlegend neu ist hierbei, dass die bisher passive Struktur sich mit Hilfe geeigneter Aktor-, Sensor- und Regelelemente aktiv an die jeweilige Betriebsbedingung anpasst. Eine solche "intelligente" Struktur arbeitet effizienter, ökonomischer und mit erhöhter Lebensdauer. Die Natur lebt uns solche adaptiven Systeme vor, z. B. passt ein Vogel seine Flügel ständig den Strömungsverhältnissen an. Die Bionik beschäftigt sich mit der Aufgabe, von der Natur zu lernen und diese Erkenntnisse in neue Konstruktionsprinzipien umzusetzen. Der vorliegende Artikel verdeutlicht das enorme Potential der Adaptronik zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe
