Grey Nomads: Road Safety Impacts and Risk Management
The Australian population is ageing, and an increasing number of older Australians are becoming “grey nomads”, driving long distances on high speed rural roads. While many drivers in this age range are engaging in self regulation and limiting their driving to known roads, this population are driving on highly unfamiliar roads, and possibly engaging in unfamiliar practices such as towing large l...
متن کاملMacrophages and nitric oxide: A deadly combination
Mixed signals? The immunology field got a hint that NO might be a host product in 1985, when Michael Marletta and his graduate student Dennis Stuehr at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found an ex cess of nitrate in the urine of bacterially infected mice (1). To find its source, the researchers focused on macrophages, immune cells that help defend against infections. Meanwhile, at the ...

متن کاملVenous thromboembolism, age and hospitalisation: A potentially deadly combination.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common complication of hospitalisation and is associated with morbidity and mortality (1, 2). The annual incidence of VTE increases sharply with age (3). Thus, as the population ages the health burden associated with VTE is expected to grow dramatically. Many studies have identified highrisk groups of surgical and acutely ill medical patients who benefit from a...
متن کاملATP and potassium ions: a deadly combination for astrocytes
The ATP release channel Pannexin1 (Panx1) is self-regulated, i.e. the permeant ATP inhibits the channel from the extracellular space. The affinity of the ATP binding site is lower than that of the purinergic P2X7 receptor allowing a transient activation of Panx1 by ATP through P2X7R. Here we show that the inhibition of Panx1 by ATP is abrogated by increased extracellular potassium ion concentra...
