Base-J (β-D-glucopyranosyloxymethyluracil) is an unusual kinetoplastid-specific DNA modification, recognized by base-J containing DNA (J-DNA) binding proteins JBP1 and JBP3. Recognition of J-DNA by both JBP1 and JBP3 takes place by a conserved J-DNA binding domain (JDBD). Here we show that JDBD-JBP3 has about 1,000-fold weaker affinity to base-J than JDBD-JBP1 and discriminates between J-DNA and unmodified DNA with a factor ∼5, whereas JDBD-JBP1 discriminates with a factor ∼10,000.

Article Synopsis
  • This study compared the effects of treadmill walking warm-ups (TW) against dynamic warm-ups (DW) on youth's cardiopulmonary exercise testing responses.
  • The experiment involved 16 active youth (around age 14) who underwent peak oxygen uptake tests after different 6-minute warm-ups on separate days.
  • Results showed that DW led to a significantly higher maximum heart rate and other measures during the test, although both warm-ups resulted in similar peak oxygen uptake levels.

Aim: This analysis was conducted to understand the nuanced and underlying benefits and challenges of an experiential educational intervention for DNP students learning how neighborhoods and health disparities may be related.

Background: Poor social and environmental conditions in many low-income urban neighborhoods are linked to deleterious health outcomes. Many of the structural and political influences are unknown to health providers, which can inhibit their understanding of the social effects on health.

To propose criteria for retreating previously embolized PAVMs and determining the effectiveness of the criteria to prevent paradoxical embolization. A retrospective review of patients with PAVMs treated at a single HHT center of excellence between 1 January 2013, and 10 September 2023, was performed. Patients with PAVM recurrence were either retreated or observed based on the following criteria for PAVM reintervention: 1.
