OBJECTIVES To determine macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin (MLS) resistance determinants in the Capnocytophaga genus and to describe the prevalence of β-lactam resistance genes in human oral Capnocytophaga species. METHODS Forty-eight Capnocytophaga isolates identified by analysis of 16S rRNA sequences were isolated from subgingival samples from 14 haematology patients (HPs), 11 periodontiti...

OBJECTIVES The recently documented presence of almost identical, small, non-self-transmissible, erm(T)-carrying plasmids in clonally unrelated erythromycin-resistant isolates of Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus agalactiae suggests that these plasmids somehow circulate in the streptococcal population. The objective of this study was to characterize the erm(T)-carrying genetic element in ...

This note contains a correction to equation (16) in AIAA Paper 2015-2217: ”Stochastic and nonlinear forcing of wavepackets in a Mach 0.9 jet,” as well as some additional clarification of the empirical resolvent mode (ERM) method described in the same paper. The notation and terminaology used in this note follows that of the paper. Before turning attention to ERM, it’s useful to write proper ort...

We examine the role and nature of external influences (US as well as German) and changing institutional constraints upon UK monetary policy by estimating Taylor-type reaction functions for three subperiods: 1985-90 (pre-ERM), 1992-97 (post-ERM) and 1997-2000 (MPC). We identify and contrast ‘domestic’ and ‘international’ models of the reaction function, and show that while the international mode...

In the June 15, 1998 issue of Blood, Serrador et al1 report on redistribution of ezrin and moesin to the uropod of polarized T lymphoblasts, suggesting their role in establishing cell-cell contacts. The ERM (ezrin-radixin-moesin) family proteins colocalize in nonhematopoietic cells with actin filaments in surface projections, microvilli, microspikes, filopodia, ruffles, etc, where they function...

We describe a case of untreated adult-onset Coats' disease with a proliferative epiretinal membrane (ERM) treated successfully with 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (25GPPV). A 26-year-old man presented with a 3-week history of decreased vision in his left eye. At the initial examination, the decimal best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.7 in the left eye. Ophthalmoscopy revealed the typical ...

Throughout life, newly generated neuroblasts from the subventricular zone migrate toward the olfactory bulb through the rostral migratory stream. Upon brain injury, these migrating neuroblasts change their route and begin to migrate toward injured regions, which is one of the regenerative responses after brain damage. This injuryinduced migration is triggered by stromal cell-derived factor 1 (S...

OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between the morphology of the fovea and visual acuity in patients with an untreated idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM). METHODS We examined 52 eyes of 45 patients diagnosed with an ERM. The morphology of the foveal area was determined by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. The relationships between the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and...

In today’s challenging global economy, risk management is encountering a significant transformation. Organizations are switching their method to enterprise-wide from the traditional compartmentalized approach. Enterprise (ERM), which aims at increasing sustainability of an organization and achieving competitive advantage, gaining attention fast becoming essential concern in all industries. Desp...

Hyperosmotic shrinkage induces multiple cellular responses, including activation of volume-regulatory ion transport, cytoskeletal reorganization, and cell death. Here we investigated the possible roles of ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM) proteins in these events. Osmotic shrinkage of Ehrlich Lettre ascites cells elicited the formation of long microvillus-like protrusions, rapid translocation of endog...
