Although believed to be integral in the management of children with congenital heart disease (CHD), pediatric cardiac electrophysiologists (EP) do not routinely join care unit (CCU) rounds other than by consultation on individual patients. In our CCU, EP reviews all telemetry CCU over preceding 24 hours and participates daily multidisciplinary rounds. To quantify impact strategy consistent, for...

Introduction: Incidental pulmonary embolisms (iPE) are common in cancer patients. Studies addressing iPE in oncology are increasing; however, few of these investigations have been conducted in a Latin-American population. This study aims to describe the incidence and characteristics of iPE in cancer patients in a comprehensive cancer center from Panama. Methods: A single-center, retrospective stud...

The induction of mouse skin papillomas by initiation-promotion protocols is associated with aberrant expression of epithelial markers in the tumor mass. Similarly, initiation of mouse keratinocytes with a retrovirus encoding the v-ras gene (v-ras keratinocytes) causes characteristic alterations of epidermal gene expression (A. A. Dlugosz et al., Cancer Res., 54: 6413–6420, 1994). Because activa...

INTRODUCTION Sleep duration, chronotype and social jetlag have been associated with body mass index (BMI) and abdominal obesity. The optimal sleep duration regarding BMI has previously been found to be 7-8 hours, but these studies have not been carried out in the subarctic or have lacked some central variables. The aims of our study were to examine the associations between sleep variables and b...

Post-harvest browning of litchi is a common phenomenon that occurs due to enzymatic and non-enzymatic reactions. Enzymatic primarily caused by polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, leading the formation brown pigments. Non-enzymatic Maillard reaction between reducing sugars amino acids. Factors such as temperature, humidity, mechanical damage can accelerate browning. Proper handling, storage, use ...

BACKGROUND The expansion of malaria prevention and control to school-aged children is receiving increasing attention, but there are still limited data on the costs of intervention. This paper analyses the costs of a comprehensive school-based intervention strategy, delivered by teachers, that included participatory malaria educational activities, distribution of long lasting insecticide-treated...

Binding of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) to CD4 receptors induces multiple cellular signaling pathways, including the MEK/ERK cascade. While the interaction of X4 HIV-1 with CXCR4 does not seem to activate this pathway, viruses using CCR5 for entry efficiently activate MEK/ERK kinases (W. Popik, J. E. Hesselgesser, and P. M. Pitha, J. Virol. 72:6406-6413, 1998; W. Popik and P. M. ...

Channelrhodopsins-2 (ChR2) are a class of light sensitive proteins that offer the ability to use light stimulation to regulate neural activity with millisecond precision. In order to address the limitations in the efficacy of the wild-type ChR2 (ChRwt) to achieve this objective, new variants of ChR2 that exhibit fast mon-exponential photocurrent decay characteristics have been recently develope...

The induction of mouse skin papillomas by initiation-promotion protocols is associated with aberrant expression of epithelial markers in the tumor mass. Similarly, initiation of mouse keratinocytes with a retrovirus encoding the v-rasHa gene (v-rasHa keratinocytes) causes characteristic alterations of epidermal gene expression (A. A. Dlugosz et at, Cancer Res., 54: 6413-6420, 1994). Because act...
