Tighter P&T committee rules proposed for NAIC model act.

The small subunit (SSU) processome is a large ribonucleoprotein that is required for maturation of the 18S rRNA of the ribosome. Recently, a missense mutation in the C-terminus of an SSU processome protein, Utp4/Cirhin, was reported to cause North American Indian childhood cirrhosis (NAIC). In this study, we use Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model to investigate the role of the NAIC mutation in...

Tumor size seems to be a determinant in the prognosis of early cervical cancer. Patients with tumor greater than 4 cm (bulky) in diameter have worse outcome. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of preoperative combined chemoradiation and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAIC) programs followed by radical hysterectomy in stage IB-IIB bulky cervical cancer. From September 1999 to April...

North American Indian Childhood Cirrhosis (NAIC) is a rare, autosomal recessive, progressive cholestatic disease of infancy affecting the Cree-Ojibway first Nations of Quebec. All NAIC patients are homozygous for a missense mutation (R565W) in CIRH1A, the human homolog of the yeast nucleolar protein Utp4. Utp4 is part of the t-Utp subcomplex of the small subunit (SSU) processome, a ribonucleopr...

BACKGROUND We describe four cases of primary lacrimal adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) treated with neoadjuvant intra-arterial chemotherapy (NAIC). METHODS The outcomes and complications of NAIC were reviewed. Several treatment-related local and/or systemic complications were noted. RESULTS One patient experienced ipsilateral eyelid and eyeball necrosis and permanent facial palsy; the second ...

This paper is a substantially revised and extended version of a preliminary paper presented at the 1993 ARIA Meeting in San Francisco. This research was funded in part by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. The conclusions expressed here are the authors' and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Introduction The National ...

Characterizing brain connectivity between neural signals is key to understanding brain function. Current measures such as coherence heavily rely on Fourier or wavelet transform, which inevitably assume the signal stationarity and place severe limits on its time-frequency resolution. Here we addressed these issues by introducing a noise-assisted instantaneous coherence (NAIC) measure based on mu...

With projections of costs in the billions for COVID-19 treatments alone, and heightened scrutiny on COVID-19-related health insurance coverage, National Association Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) convened March 2020 to discuss how industry could best deal with a pandemic. While ramifications event are their infant stages, it is important consider implications such catastrophic risks have an mar...

Implementing airborne infection control measures as per guidelines are very important in preventing the spread of infections. Therefore purpose this study was to evaluate gaps knowledge, attitude, implementation and satisfaction levels regarding availability resources for among nursing staff a medical college central India during COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional survey done which 109 nurses...
