Arrests for Public Intoxication+

Aureobasidin A arrests growth of yeast cells through both ceramide intoxication and deprivation of essential inositolphosphorylceramides.

All mature Saccharomyces cerevisiae sphingolipids comprise inositolphosphorylceramides containing C26:0 or C24:0 fatty acids and either phytosphingosine or dihydrosphingosine. Here we analysed the lipid profile of lag1Delta lac1Delta mutants lacking acyl-CoA-dependent ceramide synthesis, which require the reverse ceramidase activity of overexpressed Ydc1p for sphingolipid biosynthesis and viabi...

Effectiveness of Public Access Defibrillation with AEDs for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests in Japan.

In Japan, about 60,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests of cardiac etiology occur annually. Early initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation with public access automated external defibrillators (AEDs) by bystanders is the key to increasing survival after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Japanese data shows that nationwide dissemination of public access AE...

Editor's Introduction — Policing for Prevention: Reducing Crime, Public Intoxication and Injury

Like Volume 5 of Crime Prevention Studies, this volume had its inspiration in two 1994 Griffith University conferences, "Problem Solving for Crime Prevention" and "The Prevention of Alcohol-Related Road Crashes: Social and Legal Approaches." For this reason the majority of contributors are Australian, and most papers deal with prevention issues from an Australian perspective. The themes, howeve...

Epidemiology of Juvenile Arrests

Youth in the juvenile correctional system are a high-risk population who, in many cases, have unmet physical, developmental, and mental health needs. Multiple studies have found that some of these health issues occur at higher rates than in the general adolescent population. Although some youth in the juvenile justice system have interfacedwith health care providers in their community on a regu...
