RAD18 is a conserved eukaryotic E3 ubiquitin ligase that promotes genome stability through multiple pathways. One of these is gap-filling DNA synthesis at active replication forks and in post-replicative DNA. RAD18 also regulates homologous recombination (HR) repair of DNA breaks; however, the current literature describing the contribution of RAD18 to HR in mammalian systems has not reached a consensus.

We aimed to characterize how patients recall time spent sedated and recovering to identify areas for improvement in patient outcomes.
Methods: We undertook qualitative analysis using semistructured interviews of pediatric patients requiring extra-corporeal support in our intensive care units from 2018 to 2023.
Homologous recombination (HR) and translesion synthesis (TLS) promote gap-filling DNA synthesis to complete genome replication. One factor involved in both pathways is RAD18, an E3 ubiquitin ligase. Although RAD18's role in promoting TLS through the ubiquitination of PCNA at lysine 164 (K164) is well established, its requirement for HR-based mechanisms is currently less clear.

Advanced airway management may either be elective or urgent; in either case, it may result in significant patient morbiidity and mortality.
