BACKGROUND Renal supportive care (RSC) is an important option for elderly individuals reaching end-stage renal disease; however, the frequency of RSC practice is very low among Asian countries. We evaluated the attitude, the knowledge, and the preference for specific topics concerning RSC among participants who worked in different medical professions in Taiwan. METHODS A cross-sectional quest...

The most prominent and rapidly increasing source of electrical power generation, wind energy conversion systems (WECS), can significantly improve the situation with regard to remote communities’ supply. main constituting elements a WECS are turbine, mechanical transmission system, doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG), rotor side converter (RSC), common DC-link capacitor, grid-side converter. V...

Principal cells in layer V of the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) have a nodal position in the cortical-hippocampal network. They are the main recipients of hippocampal output and receive inputs from several cortical areas, including a prominent one from the retrosplenial cortex (RSC), likely targeting basal dendrites of layer V neurons. The latter project to extrahippocampal structures but also...

The retrosplenial cortex (RSC) is reciprocally connected with the hippocampus and various parahippocampal cortical regions, suggesting that RSC is well-positioned to contribute to hippocampal-dependent memory. Consistent with this, substantial behavioral evidence indicates that RSC is essential for consolidating and/or retrieving contextual and spatial memories. In addition, there is growing ev...

PURPOSE The Royal College of General Practitioners Research and Surveillance Centre (RCGP RSC) is one of the longest established primary care sentinel networks. In 2015, it established a new data and analysis hub at the University of Surrey. This paper evaluates the representativeness of the RCGP RSC network against the English population. PARTICIPANTS AND METHOD The cohort includes 1 042 063...

In order to understand a physiologi¢ al role of chitinases in rye, the localization and accumulatien of rye seed chitinase-a and -c (RSC-a and -c) in the seeds were studied by imm"nochemical methods. An antiserum specific to the chitin-binding domain (CB-domain), whicb is an N-terminal part of RSC-a, and an antiserum specific to the catalytic region of RSC-a and RSC-c were used. An immunoblot a...

The complete amino acid sequence of rye seed chitinase-a (RSC-a) has been analyzed. RSC-a was cleaved with cyanogen bromide and the resulting three fragments, CB1, CB2, and CB3, were separated by gel filtration. The amino acids of the N-terminal fragment CB1 were sequenced by analyzing the peptides produced by digestion with trypsin, lysylendopeptidase, or pepsin of reduced S-carboxymethylated ...

RSC is an essential chromatin remodeling complex in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that performs central roles in transcriptional regulation and cell cycle progression. Here we identify Htl1 as a novel factor that associates with the RSC complex both physically and functionally. We isolated HTL1 through a genetic screen for mutants that displayed additive growth defects with a conditional mutation in...

Over time, memory retrieval is thought to transfer from the hippocampus to a distributed network of neocortical sites. Of these sites, the retrosplenial cortex (RSC) is robustly activated during retrieval of remotely acquired, emotionally valenced memories. It is unclear, however, whether RSC is specifically involved in memory storage or retrieval, and which neurotransmitter receptor mechanisms...
