Quantifying invasibility [PDF]
Invasibility, the chance of a population to grow from rarity and to establish a large-abundance colony, plays a fundamental role in population genetics, ecology, and evolution. For many decades, the mean growth rate when rare has been employed as an invasion criterion.

Simplified minimally invasive invasive parathyroidectomy [PDF]
We agree with Wong et al that minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) is a safe and effective option in selected patients (approximately 50% of those with primary hyperparathyroidism) but would like to comment on some aspects of methodology and conclusions as reported in their case series. The authors quote a reference from 20031 to support their

Thermal monitoring: Invasive, minimal-invasive and non-invasive approaches
Thermal treatments need verification of effectiveness. Invasive intra-tumoural thermometry was established as a standard method several years ago. However, in deep heating, invasive techniques have disadvantages. Therefore, alternatives have been suggested and are under development.In three phase II studies treating rectal cancer, cervical cancer and ...
