INTRODUCTION Organization of regional systems of care (RSC) with an emphasis on pre-hospital triage and primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been recommended to implement guidelines and improve clinical outcome in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). PATIENTS AND METHODS All STEMI patients (n = 1,823) admitted to any of the 13 hospitals of the province of Bologn...

cell walls prepured from its mycelia. RSC-a inhibited . more strong}y the re-extension of the hyphae, containing mainly mature cells, than RSC-c did. Upon incubation of the fungus vvith fluorescent chitinases, FITC}abeled RSC-a was found to be located in the hyphal tips, lateral walls, and septa, whi]e FITC-labeled RSC-c was only in the hyphal tip. RSC-a had a greater aMnity for the cell walls...

We have previously demonstrated that the rectosigmoid junction is more than a junction: it is a segment with a mean length of 2.8 cm which we termed the 'rectosigmoid canal' (RSC). Our data support the existence of a physiologic and anatomic sphincter at the RSC which regulates the passage of stools from the sigmoid colon (SC) to the rectum (R). In view of its sphincteric action we investigated...

ISWI family chromatin remodelers typically organize nucleosome arrays, while SWI/SNF family remodelers (RSC) typically disorganize and eject nucleosomes, implying an antagonism that is largely unexplored in vivo. Here, we describe two independent genetic screens for rsc suppressors that yielded mutations in the promoter-focused ISW1a complex or mutations in the 'basic patch' of histone H4 (an e...

The involvement of retrosplenial cortex (RSC) in human autobiographical memory retrieval has been confirmed by functional brain imaging studies, and is supported by anatomical evidence of strong connectivity between the RSC and memory structures within the medial temporal lobe (MTL). However, electrophysiological investigations of the RSC and its interaction with the MTL have mostly remained li...

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...

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...
