Are “Genetic Enhancements” Really Enhancements?
Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics, 2000The word enhancement is value laden and potentially misleading in the context of genetics. Dictionary definitions of enhance include “increase in value,” “improve,” “appreciate,” and “inflate.” The term genetic enhancement would be better replaced with a more neutral term such as “genetic manipulation” to reflect the fact that the consequences ...

Cognitive enhancement refers to the improvement of cognitive ability in normal healthy individuals. In this article, we focus on the use of pharmaceutical agents and brain stimulation for cognitive enhancement, reviewing the most common methods of pharmacologic and electronic cognitive enhancement, and the mechanisms by which they are believed to work,

Nanoindentation-enhanced tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2021We combine nanoindentation, herein achieved using atomic force microscopy-based pulsed-force lithography, with tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) and imaging. Our approach entails indentation and multimodal characterization of otherwise flat Au substrates, followed by chemical functionalization and TERS spectral imaging of the indented ...

Presentation of a masking stimulus enhances, rather than detracts from, detectability of certain multisegment targets. Present theories of backward masking cannot account for this "backward enhancement" effect, which resembles another puzzling phenomenon, previously reported as target recovery or disinhibition.

Journal of Medical Ethics, 2016
Moral enhancement can be an attractive proposal, but contrary to cognitive enhancement, it is hard to define what kind of intervention would constitute moral enhancement. In an ongoing debate about the subject, Douglas argued that biomedically decreasing countermoral emotions would do so and would be morally permissible in particular cases.

The recently published Effect of Combination Ezetimibe and High-Dose Simvastatin vs. Simvastatin Alone on the Atherosclerotic Process in Patients With Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (ENHANCE) trial seems to raise questions regarding the notion that lipid lowering is of benefit in the prevention and treatment of vascular disease.

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1983
A blurred mass subtraction technique has been developed for mammography that will enhance small object contrast and visibility throughout the breast area. The procedure is easy to implement and requires no additional exposure. Perception of low-contrast objects is improved by eliminating extreme light and dark image areas. Contrast of structures within
