In human, mutations in bicaudal C1 (BICC1), an RNA binding protein, have been identified in patients with kidney dysplasia. Deletion of Bicc1 in mouse leads to left-right asymmetry randomization and renal cysts. Here, we show that BICC1 is also expressed in both the pancreatic progenitor cells that line the ducts during development, and in the ducts after birth, but not in differentiated endocr...

A preparedness plan for avian influenza A(H5N1) virus infection was activated in Lebanon in 2016 after reported cases in poultry. Exposed persons were given prophylaxis and monitored daily. A total of 185 exposed persons were identified: 180 received prophylaxis, 181 were monitored, and 41 suspected cases were reported. All collected specimens were negative for virus by PCR.

SETTING Evaluation of data from the Danish Gynaecology Cancer Database and the Danish Civil Registration System. PARTICIPANTS 2654 women who underwent surgery due to a diagnosis of primary ovarian cancer....

BACKGROUND Because of the rapid growth in elderly population, polypharmacy has become a serious public health issue worldwide. Although acute renal failure (ARF) is one negative consequence of polypharmacy, the association between the duration of polypharmacy and ARF remains unclear. We therefore assessed this association using a population-based database. METHODS Data were collected from the...

Voltage-gated L-type CaV1.2 channels in cardiomyocytes exist as heteromeric complexes. Co-expression of CaVα2δ1 with CaVβ/CaVα1 proteins reconstitutes the functional properties of native L-type currents, but the interacting domains at the CaV1.2/CaVα2δ1 interface are unknown. Here, a homology-based model of CaV1.2 identified protein interfaces between the extracellular domain of CaVα2δ1 and the...
