Abstract Background Sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol (SQDG) is present in the membranes of cyanobacteria and their postulated progeny, plastids, in plants.A cyanobacterium, Synechocystis sp.PCC 6803, requires SQDG for growth: its mutant (SD1) with the sqdB gene for SQDG synthesis disrupted can grow with external supplementation of SQDG.However, upon
Nonassociative learning promotes respiratory entrainment to mechanical ventilation.
Patient-ventilator synchrony is a major concern in critical care and is influenced by phasic lung-volume feedback control of the respiratory rhythm.Routine clinical application of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) introduces a tonic input which, if unopposed, might disrupt respiratory-ventilator entrainment through sustained activation of the
An Introduction to Next Generation Sequencing Bioinformatic Analysis in Gut Microbiome Studies
The gut microbiome is a microbial ecosystem which expresses 100 times more genes than the human host and plays an essential role in human health and disease Architectural Art pathogenesis.Since most intestinal microbial species are difficult to culture, next generation sequencing technologies have been widely applied to study the gut microbiome, in
A code orange for traffic-light-protocols as a communication mechanism in IGRT
Introduction: Traffic-light protocols (TLPs) use color codes to standardize image registration and improve interdisciplinary communication in IGRT.Generally, green indicates no relevant anatomical changes, orange signals changes requiring follow-up but does not compromise the current fraction, and red flags unacceptable changes.This Footwear study
