911 outages a danger to all

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοEmergency Medicine by Alexandros G. SfakianakisΠριν από 5 δευτερόλεπτα

When I was working as an EMS communication center supervisor, a veteran dispatcher perfectly described the center’s function as the "head of the beast." While most EMS providers perform critical field functions, personnel within a modern day 911 call center are responsible for coordinating all of an EMS system’s resources. From call intake, pre-arrival instructions and dispatch, to resource monitoring, inter- and intra-agency coordination and scheduling routine calls, a 911 telecommunications center has to be functional 100 percent of the time.

Regarding “Circulatory dynamics of the cauda equina in lumbar canal stenosis using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging”

AlexAndros SfakianakisστοMedicine by Alexandros G.Sfakianakis,Anapafseos 5 Agios Nikolaos,Crete 72100,Greece,tel :00302841026Πριν από 23 δευτερόλεπτα

I read with interest the article by Kobayashi et al. in The Spine Journal October issue [1]. The occurrence of enhancement at the site of lumbar canal stenosis is an important one, and infrequently encountered in routine imaging of the lumbar spine, because contrast material is generally not given. When it does occur, it can be a source of confusion to the clinician and radiologist, who might ascribe a more ominous diagnosis of enhancing tumor or infection. The authors are to be commended for studying this topic. from Sports Medicine via xlomafota13 on Inoreader http://ift.tt/28MBW... περισσότερα »

Arc1p is a yeast-specific tRNA-binding protein that forms a ternary complex with glutamyl-tRNA synthetase (GluRSc) and methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MetRS) in the cytoplasm to regulate their catalytic activities and subcellular distributions. Despite Arc1p not being involved in any known biotin-dependent reaction, it is a natural target of biotin modification. Results presented herein show that biotin modification […]

Drug resistance is one of the main causes of colon cancer recurrence. However, our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and availability of therapeutic options remain limited. Here we show that expression of PDK4 is positively correlated with drug resistance of colon cancer cells and induced by 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) treatment in drug-resistant but not -sensitive cells.

Functional diversity of human mitochondrial J-proteins is independent of their association with the inner membrane presequence translocase Protein Synthesis and Degradation

Mitochondrial J-proteins play a critical role in governing Hsp70 activity and hence, are essential for organellar protein translocation and folding. In contrast to yeast which has a single J-protein Pam18, humans involve two J-proteins DnaJC15 and DnaJC19, associated with contrasting cellular phenotype, to transport proteins into the mitochondria. Mutation in DnaJC19 results in Dilated Cardiomyopathy […]

Protein kinase C epsilon (PKCε) promotes synaptic maturation and synaptogenesis via activation of synaptic growth factors such as BDNF, NGF, and IGF. However, many of the detailed mechanisms by which PKCε induces synaptogenesis are not fully understood.

A major open question is whether computational strategies thought to be used during experiential learning, specifically model-based and model-free reinforcement learning, also support observational learning. Furthermore, the question of how observational learning occurs when observers must learn about the value of options from observing outcomes in the absence of choice has not been addressed.

Nitric oxide/cGMP/PKG signaling pathway activated by M1-type muscarinic acetylcholine receptor cascade inhibits Na+-activated K+ currents in Kenyon cells

The interneurons of the mushroom body, known as Kenyon cells, are essential for the long-term memory of olfactory associative learning in some insects. Some studies have reported that nitric oxide (NO) is strongly related to this long-term memory in Kenyon cells. However, the target molecules and upstream and downstream NO signaling cascades are not completely understood. Here we analyzed the effect of the NO signaling cascade on Na+-activated K+ (KNa) channel activity in Kenyon cells of crickets (*Gryllus bimaculatus*).

High-resolution and cell-type-specific photostimulation mapping shows weak excitatory vs. strong inhibitory inputs in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis

The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) is a key component of the extended amygdala and has been implicated in anxiety and addiction. As individual neurons function within neural circuits, it is important to understand local microcircuits and larger network connections of identified neuronal types and understand how maladaptive changes in the BNST neural networks are induced by stress and drug abuse. However, due to limitations of classic anatomical and physiological methods, the local circuit organization of synaptic inputs to specific BNST neuron types is not well underst... περισσότερα »

Adaptation of neural responses to repeated muscle stretching likely represents implicit learning to minimize muscle resistance to perturbations. To test this hypothesis, the forearm was placed on a horizontal manipulandum. Elbow flexors or extensors compensated an external load and were stretched by 20° or 70° rotations. Participants were instructed not to intervene by intentionally modifying the muscle resistance elicited by stretching. In addition to phasic stretch reflexes (SRs), muscle stretching was associated with inhibitory periods (IPs) in the ongoing muscle activity start... περισσότερα »

Saccadic eye movements can be elicited by more than one type of sensory stimulus. This implies substantial transformations of signals originating in different sense organs as they reach a common motor output pathway. In this study, we compared the prevalence and magnitude of auditory- and visually evoked activity in a structure implicated in oculomotor processing, the primate frontal eye fields (FEF).

Peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common neurological complications of HIV infection with a 30–60% lifetime prevalence. Newer HIV drugs cause less peripheral neuropathy, but patients are now living long enough to develop concomitant diabetes-related, vascular-related, and chemotherapy-related neuropathy so it continues as a major debilitating issue. Recent national CDC guidelines have stressed the […]

Abstract Recent studies utilizing chemical-induced colitis-associated and sporadic colon cancer in mouse models indicated a protective role for absent in melanoma 2 (Aim2) in colon epithelial cells. Accordingly, mutations in the human AIM2 gene have been found in colorectal cancer (CRC), and reduced expression of AIM2 in CRC is associated with its progression. Furthermore, the overexpression of AIM2 protein in human cancer cell lines inhibits cell proliferation. Interferon-inducible Aim2 and AIM2 are members of the PYHIN (PYRIN and HIN domain-containing) protein family and share ~57... περισσότερα »
