Background: Primary care physicians (PCPs) are optimally situated to identify and manage early stage chronic kidney disease (CKD). Nonetheless, studies have documented suboptimal PCP understanding, awareness, and management of early CKD. The TRANSLATE CKD study is an ongoing national, mixedmethods, cluster randomized control trial that examines the implementation of evidence-based guidelines fo...

Inserts bearing the coding sequences of NPT II and beta-glucuronidase (GUS) were placed between the nuclear inclusion b (NIb) and coat protein (CP) domains of the wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) polyprotein ORF. The WSMV NIb-CP junction containing the nuclear inclusion a (NIa) protease cleavage site was duplicated, permitting excision of foreign protein domains from the viral polyprotein. Whea...

First put forth by Hedley Bull in the 1970s, notion of ‘accommodation’ is an often-neglected approach to understanding role, rights and responsibilities emerging nuclear powers from Global South order.
