PI(4,5)P role in Transverse-tubule membrane formation and muscle function.

Unlabelled: Transverse (T)-tubules - vast, tubulated domains of the muscle plasma membrane - are critical to maintain healthy skeletal and heart contractions. How the intricate T-tubule membranes are formed is not well understood, with challenges to systematically interrogate in muscle. We established the use of intact Drosophila larval body wall muscles as an ideal system to discover mechanisms that sculpt and maintain the T-tubule membrane network.

Homelessness Among Acute Care Patients Within a Large Health Care System in Northern California.

The impacts of homelessness on health and health care access are detrimental. Intervention and efforts to improve outcomes and increase availability of affordable housing have mainly originated from the public health sector and government. The role that large community-based health systems may play has yet to be established.

School-Based Therapists' Perspectives of Wheelchair Use in US Schools: A Survey Study.

Purpose: To gather information concerning the current state of students' wheelchair (WC) use in US schools from the perspective of school-based therapists.

Methods: This descriptive study used a Web-based survey to gather information regarding factors that facilitated or hindered student WC use at school, the frequency at which various tasks related to WC provision were performed, and factors that would facilitate students' independence with WC use.

Results: A dependent manual WC was the most common type of WC mobility used at school.
