Camp is for Everyone: Intentional Inclusion of Gender-Expansive Teens at Camp

Outbreak of Wilderness/Backcountry/Travelers’ Diarrhea at a Himalayan Base Camp at 4000 m/13,125 ft

Introduction: Wilderness or backcountry diarrhea is a type of travelers’ diarrhea commonly caused by Cryptosporidium and Giardia, which can survive freezing temperatures. Campsites pose additional risks worldwide, irrespective of developing or developed regions, due to inadequate hygiene. Methods: In a first of its kind, an outbreak of wilderness diarrhea...

When is cAMP not cAMP? Effects of compartmentalization.

Many important cellular processes are controlled via stimulation (or inhibition) of signal transduction systems, among which heptahelical G protein– coupled receptors (GPCRs) figure prominently. A classical example in cardiac myocytes is the b-adrenergic receptor (b-AR) cascade (see Figure, panel A), which leads to positive inotropic and lusitropic effects.1 Occupation of the b-ARs by an agonis...

The Camp at Umballa

the rapid camp test for identification of

alpha toxin derived from clostridium perfringens was used for diagnosis of streptococcus agalactiae (st.agalactiae) by rapid and spot camp tests. the selected cl.perfringens strain was cultured in optimized conditions; the supernatant of culture was concentrated by ultra filter and purified by deae cellulose chromatography. the efficacy of both purified and crude α-toxins were examined by rapid...

Competitive cAMP antagonists for cAMP-receptor proteins.

The two exocyclic oxygen atoms at phosphorus of cAMP have been replaced by a sulfur atom or by a dimethylamino group. These substitutions introduce chirality at the phosphorus atom; therefore, two diastereoisomers are known for each derivative: (SP)-cAMPS, (RP)-cAMPS, (SP)-cAMPN(CH3)2, and RP-cAMPN(CH3)2. We have investigated the agonistic and antagonistic activities of these compounds in four ...
