Older parents' expectations of moving closer to their children.

Research shows that older parents engage in return migration in older to live closer to children from whom they receive care. However, less is known about how characteristics of adult children influence this process. Data for this analysis are from 5,382 older parents participating in the 1993/4 AHEAD national survey of adults aged 70 years old and older. Findings demonstrate that elderly paren...

Seeing Touch: Moving Closer to the Worm Mechanotransduction Complex

All organisms sense their immediate environment using specialized mechanoreceptors, cells that respond to external mechanical forces. These exquisitely sensitive cells underlie osmosensation, touch, hearing, balance and proprioception. All mechanoreceptors that have been studied in depth respond to external forces by opening transduction channels — mechanically gated ion channels. Although larg...

Evidence for magnesium sulfate as a tocolytic agent.

The objective of our study is to quantitatively examine the available evidence regarding the efficacy and side effects of magnesium sulfate for acute tocolysis (from randomized trials) compared with placebo and beta-agonist agents. Randomized trials comparing magnesium sulfate with placebo or beta-agonists for tocolysis were identified with a MEDLINE-based search and was supplemented by a searc...
