As a solution to overcrowding, emergency departments (ED) in the Netherlands start collaborate with general practitioner cooperatives (GPC) so-called integrated posts (IEP) make sure that self-referring patients receive right treatment by care provider. The underlying assumption is this collaboration will increase effectiveness of and efficiency. This chapter describes two case studies: for one...

The so-called group II introns perform some neat tricks. They are primarily found within genes and are transcribed into precursor RNA when the host gene is activated. That’s when the fun starts. First, a portion of the intron RNA binds a ribosome and dictates production of an ‘‘intron-encoded protein,’’ or IEP. Next the IEP binds to the intron RNA, coaxing it to fold up into a catalytically act...

Objetivos: analizar el efecto de craving sobre riesgo recaída en adultos tratamiento por alcohol, considerando la Inteligencia Emocional Percibida (IEP) como mediador. Materiales y métodos: estudio descriptivo, transversal, predictivo, comprobación modelo con análisis mediación. La muestra fue 274 internos Centros Rehabilitación contra las Adicciones (CRCA). Los instrumentos utilizados fueron u...

The functional unit of mobile group II introns is a ribonucleoprotein particle (RNP) consisting of the intron-encoded protein (IEP) and the excised intron RNA. The IEP has reverse transcriptase activity but also promotes RNA splicing, and the RNA-protein complex triggers site-specific DNA insertion by reverse splicing, in a process called retrohoming. In vitro reconstituted ribonucleoprotein co...

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurologic disorders. Underlying cause of epilepsy is unknown in 60 % of the patients. Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasite which is capable of forming tissue cysts in brain of chronically infected hosts including humans. Some epidemiological studies suggested an association between toxoplasmosis and acquisition of epilepsy. In this study we determin...

ID: 4805 Title: For small field Radiosurgery Intermediate Energy Photons (800kV) show superior dose distributions compared to megavoltage beams Purpose: Beam penumbra is significant when using stereotactic radiosurgery to treat small volumes with limited microscopic extensions. It is challenging to irradiate these lesions if a highly critical structure is in close contact with the target. Previ...

Background: Much of learning is associated with visual cues, so children with vision-related problems may find it difficult to keep up with their peers in an academic setting. In order to assess the relationship between success in an academic setting and vision-related problems, we compared the prevalence of vision-related problems between children with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) ...

Acrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to show the similarities and differences in the membrane proteins of two vaccine and two virulent strains of Mycoplasma mycoides var. mycoides. Immunoelectrophoretic (IEP) analysis was also used to partially characterize the associated antigens. Antibody spectra to the antigens of M. mycoides differ in rabbit, pig, and cattle sera. Rabbits produce better ...
