Article Synopsis
- Microtransplantation of neurolemma tissue from mammalian brains into Xenopus laevis oocytes allows researchers to study the structure and function of ion channels and receptors related to the central nervous system, particularly in the context of channelopathies and diseases.* -
- An experiment revealed that adult rat neurolemma had 2.5 times higher expression of voltage-sensitive sodium channels (VSSCs) compared to juvenile neurolemma, with the main isoform identified being Na1.2.* -
- The study found that VSSCs from juvenile neurolemma were more sensitive to the pesticide deltamethrin, but overall showed less sensitivity than those from adult neurolemma when exposed to certain chemicals and electrical depolarization.*
Background: A variety of reforms to traditional approaches to provider payment and benefit design are being implemented in the United States. There is increasing interest in applying these financial incentives to orthopaedics, although it is unclear whether and to what extent they have been implemented and whether they increase quality or reduce costs.
Questions/purposes: We reviewed and discussed physician- and patient-oriented financial incentives being implemented in orthopaedics, key challenges, and prerequisites to payment reform and value-driven payment policy in orthopaedics.
This article explores effective implementation of split-plot designs in serial dilution bioassay using robots. We show that the shortest path for a robot to fill plate wells for a split-plot design is equivalent to the shortest common supersequence problem in combinatorics. We develop an algorithm for finding the shortest common supersequence, provide an R implementation, and explore the distribution of the number of steps required to implement split-plot designs for bioassay through simulation.
