Small is beautiful: comparative genomics with the pufferfish (Fugu rubripes).

As the Human Genome Project advances, it is clear that the emphasis will switch from accumulation of data to their interpretation. Comparative genomics provides a powerful way in which to analyse sequence data. Indeed, there is already a long list of 'model' organisms, which allow comparative analyses in a variety of ways. The very small vertebrate genome of the pufferfish provides a simple and economical way of comparing sequence data from mammals and fish, representing a large evolutionary divergence and so permitting the identification of essential elements that are still present in both species. These elements include genes and the associated machinery that controls their expression; elements that, in many cases, have survived the test of time.

Nematode development: an evolutionary fugue.

Recent studies of vulva development in the nematode Pristionchus pacificus have identified cell interactions that do not appear to occur in Caenorhabditis elegans. The new results underscore the diversity of patterning mechanisms that can produce structures with similar cellular morphology.

Reality and fugues in physicians facing death: confrontation, coping, and adaptation at the bedside.

This paper addresses the psychological effects and fears of physicians in their private and professional lives. It specifically looks at their experiences, perceptions, behavior, and vulnerability, especially when confronted with death and dying. The concepts of empathy, fears of oncologists, the mechanisms used for adaptation and coping, recommendations and interventions are presented. The success of a physician can be measured by the empathic yet objective relationship he/she establishes with the patient, while simultaneously building clear emotional and professional boundaries.
