Dietary B vitamins influence the preference for dietary yeast.

The microbiota influences the dietary preference for yeast (DPY). We previously identified four transposon insertion mutants in that significantly influence fly DPY, and three of these insertions were in genes that are associated with thiamine metabolism. Here, we tested if thiamine influences fly DPY in monoassociated flies.

Comparing ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction care between patients residing in central and remote locations: a retrospective case series.

Introduction: People who experience an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to an occluded coronary artery require prompt treatment. Treatments to open a blocked artery are called reperfusion therapies (RTs) and can include intravenous pharmacological thrombolysis (TL) or primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) in a cardiac catheterisation laboratory (cath lab). Optimal RT (ORT) with pPCI or TL reduces morbidity and mortality.

Identification of barriers to the implementation of evidence-based practice for pre-hospital thrombolysis.

Introduction: Thrombolysis for patients with an ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is most effective if given promptly. In remote areas, pre-hospital thrombolysis has been shown to be effective and reduce mortality. However, pre-hospital thrombolysis may offer advantages even in urban areas in terms of reduced 'call to needle' times.
