•The Collaborative has lower discrepancy rates than the RCR standards. issues reports in an average of 30 minutes. is safe and efficient at delivering on-call radiology services. AIM To assess safety efficiency Cheshire & Merseyside Collaborative, largest trainee led service UK, based on time taken to issue reports. MATERIALS METHODS All studies reported by collaborative a 4-week period were ev...

Respiratory activities were compared among rice seedlings germinated in air for 6 days (aerobic seedlings), those germinated under water for 5 days (submerged seedlings), and those grown in air for 1 day after 5 days' submerged germination (air-adapted seedlings). The respiratory activity of the submerged seedlings increased rapidly on transfer to air and reached a plateau at 16 hours in air. R...

OBJECTIVES We evaluated the effect of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (enalapril) on renal function during and after the relief of partial unilateral ureteric obstruction (UUO). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-two male mongrel dogs were classified into three groups: sham (eight), control (12; left partial UUO + no medication) and study (12; left partial UUO + enalapril). Dogs in the s...

This study determined whether there is a logical point of value change, related to either tenderness or consumer acceptance, at which to separate the beef carcass within the rib/chuck region. Rib/chuck rolls (RCR); (n = 30) consisting of the ribeye roll and chuck eye roll subprimals (2nd through 12th rib locations) were cut into 22 steaks each (two steaks per rib location), and Warner-Bratzler ...

This paper reports data and scholarly opinion that support the perception of systemic flaws in the management of scientific professions and the research enterprise; explores the responsibility that professional status places on the scientific professions, and elaborates the concept of the responsible conduct of research (RCR). Data are presented on research misconduct, availability of research ...

Learning objectives • To evaluate indications for PET-CT in plasma cell dyscrasias and its added value over other imaging modalities with review of literature based evidence and reference to the RCR/RCP guidelines. • To discuss the use of PET-CT and subsequent clinical impact at our institution with pictorial illustration. • To discuss the limitations and potential pitfalls of PET-CT with picto...

mTORC1 plays critical roles in the regulation of protein synthesis, growth, and proliferation in response to nutrients, growth factors, and energy conditions. One of the substrates of mTORC1 is 4E-BP1, whose phosphorylation by mTORC1 reverses its inhibitory action on eIF4E, resulting in the promotion of protein synthesis. Raptor in mTOR complex 1 is believed to recruit 4E-BP1, facilitating phos...
