Despite strong evidence for an association between the experience of posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms and substance use, little is known about the particular individuals most at-risk for problematic substance use in response to PTS symptoms. Consequently, the goal of this study was to conduct a prospective investigation of the moderating role of emotion dysregulation (assessed through self-r...

BACKGROUND It is unknown whether using different published thresholds (PTs) for classifying physical activity (PA) impacts upon activity-health relationships. This study explored whether relationships between PA (sedentary [SED], light PA [LPA], moderate PA [MPA], moderate-to-vigorous PA, vigorous PA [VPA]) and health markers differed in children when classified using three different PTs. MET...

OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a predictive score for clinical complications during intra-hospital transport of infants treated in neonatal units. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study nested in a prospective cohort of infants transported within a public university hospital from January 2001 to December 2008. Transports during even (n=301) and odd (n = 394) years were compared to develo...

BACKGROUND Postthrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a frequent chronic complication of deep venous thrombosis, yet its impact on health-related quality of life has not been well characterized. We compared generic and venous disease-specific quality of life in patients with and without PTS, and assessed whether quality of life correlated with severity of PTS. METHODS Subjects with previous deep venous...

gency room. Sixty pts were on mechanical ventilatory support. Passage of the scope was difficult in 2 pts. Nine developed transient hypoxemia, one requiring mechanical ventilation. Findings: 116 pts (82%) had no evidence of aortic trauma on TEE. Aortic disruption was noted in 6 pts (4%). 5 of whom underwent surgery and survived. In 15 pts the findings were indeterminate. Aortogram in these pts ...

Sucrose is one of the most promising carbon sources for industrial fermentation. We expressed synthetic modules expressing genes of the PEP-PTS and non-PTS pathways in Escherichia coli K12 for comparison. We selected PEP-PTS pathway genes of Lactobacillus plantarum and Staphylococcus xylosus and non-PTS pathway genes of sucrose-utilizing (Scr(+)) E. coli EC3132. Switchable Scr(+) modules expres...

BACKGROUND In Escherichia coli phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) is a key central metabolism intermediate that participates in glucose transport, as precursor in several biosynthetic pathways and it is involved in allosteric regulation of glycolytic enzymes. In this work we generated W3110 derivative strains that lack the main PEP consumers PEP:sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS-) and pyruvate kinase...

Methods Both serum FENa & FEurea were measured in 40 patients (pts) with acute kidney injury (AKI) complicating circulatory shock during their stay in ICU. All patients were divided into 26 pts (mean: 60.0 ± 15.15 years) with prerenal azotemia (group-1) and 14 pts (mean: 56.29 ± 19.5 years) with renal azotemia (group-2). Group-1 was subdivided into 12 pts (group-1a) who didn’t receive diuretics...
