INTRODUCTION Simulation-based boot camps provide novice trainees with an accelerated introduction to the essential skills needed for successful clinical management and professional development in a format that is valued by both residents and faculty. Boot camps have been described in numerous surgical and medical disciplines, including pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics, cardiot...

In the work of Georges Perec, novel W or Memory Childhood (1975) is an attempt, halfway between autobiography and detective novel, to reveal greatest enigma existence writer, namely tragic fate his mother who was deported Auschwitz from where she would never return. order be able outline ignominy concentration camps, Perec refers a story that he himself had invented during childhood: one on isl...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this prospective study was to investigate the status of acute respiratory tract infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae in tsunami disaster evacuation camps. METHODS Nasopharyngeal swabs (NP) of 324 internally displaced persons (IDP) in 3 different tsunami disaster evacuation camps of Sri Lanka were collected between March 18th and 2...

The genus Edwardsiella comprises a genetically distinct taxon related to other members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. It consists of bacteria differing strongly in their biochemical and physiological features, natural habitats, and pathogenic properties. Intrinsic resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) is a specific property of the genus Edwardsiella. In particular, Edwardsiel...

In cardiac myocytes there is evidence that activation of some receptors can regulate protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent responses by stimulating cAMP production that is limited to discrete intracellular domains. We previously developed a computational model of compartmentalized cAMP signaling to investigate the feasibility of this idea. The model was able to reproduce experimental results demonst...

Chemically induced long-term potentiation (cLTP) could potentially work by directly stimulating the biochemical machinery that underlies synaptic plasticity, bypassing the need for synaptic activation. Previous reports suggested that agents that raise cAMP concentration might have this capability. We examined the cLTP induced in acute slices by application of Sp-cAMPS or a combination of the ad...

According to several criteria, com...

This study examines the link between poverty and migration into and out of camps, using recent (1999) household survey data on the refugee camp populations in Jordan and a binomial logistic regression. The findings show a clear clustering of poverty in the camps, where about a third of households are poor. Results from several nested regression models show that in-migration is not the cause of ...
