Initially it was believed that when ELT-2 was knocked out in nematodes this caused the nematodes to become sick from all pathogens, even ones that were not previously pathogenic. However, an experiment conducted later suggested that in older cultures of bacteria the ELT-2 knocked out nematodes do not become sick from pathogens that were previously nonpathogenic. In order to clarify the role of ...

OBJECTIVES Ethanol is bactericidal against most pathogens implicated in central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) and biofilms. Current Infectious Diseases Society of America guidelines cite insufficient evidence to support adjunctive ethanol-lock therapy (ELT) for central venous catheter (CVC) salvage in patients with CLABSI in combination with systemic antimicrobial treatment. ...

The family of lapped orthogonal transforms is extended to include basis functions of arbitrary length. Within this new family, the extended lapped transform (ELT) is introduced, as a generalization of the previously reported modulated lapped transform (MLT). Design techniques and fast algorithms for the ELT are presented, as well as examples that demonstrate the good performance of the ELT in s...

Environmental education (EE) is one of the content-based language learning pedagogies used to enhance students’ awareness environmental concerns and their effect on people animals. It aims build teachers’ importance EE green pedagogy in ELT. However, research into integrating still scarce. Therefore, this article presents an analysis multimodal discourse imperatives using content integrated (CL...

BACKGROUND Ethanol lock therapy (ELT) with systemic antimicrobial therapy is a promising therapy for catheter-related infection (CRI). The impact of ELT timing on treatment efficacy and costs is unknown. PROCEDURES A prospective study was conducted in the Hematology/Oncology Unit at the Children's Hospital of Michigan. Patients with suspected CRI were randomized to Preemptive ELT arm or Rescu...

INTRODUCTION Interpersonal early life trauma (I-ELT) is associated with a myriad of functional impairments in adulthood, increased risk of drug addiction, and neuropsychiatric disorders. While deficits in emotional regulation and amygdala functioning are well characterized, deficits in general cognitive functioning have also been documented. However, the neural underpinnings of cognitive dysfun...

Development of the vulva in C. elegans is mediated by the combinatorial action of several convergent regulatory inputs, three of which, the Ras, Wnt and Rb-related pathways, act by regulating expression of the lin-39 Hox gene. LIN-39 specifies cell fates and regulates cell fusion in the mid-body region, leading to formation of the vulva. In the lateral seam epidermis, differentiation and cell f...

Di Indonesia, kesadaran terhadap kesetaraan gender dalam buku pelajaran sekolah masih perlu mendapat perhatian. Sebagai upaya untuk mengisi kesenjangan tersebut, dilakukan penelitian Bahasa Inggris kelas IX SMP. Penelitian ini memiliki dua tujuan: (1) mengetahui konstruksi gambar visual yang terdapat pada SMP diterbitkan oleh Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Republik Indonesia; (2) menjela...

BACKGROUND The Japan Society of Clinical Pathology (JSCP) has developed a guideline for common diagnostic test utilization in new primary care outpatients. To determine the scientific and economic validity of the JSCP panel testing system, we analyzed cost-effectiveness parameters of test panels advocated. METHODS The "Essential Laboratory Tests" panel (2) [ELT(2) panel], a package of common ...
