Ded1 and Dbp1 are paralogous conserved DEAD-box ATPases involved in translation initiation in yeast. In long-term starvation states, Dbp1 expression increases and Ded1 decreases, whereas in cycling mitotic cells, Dbp1 is absent. Inserting DBP1 in place of DED1 cannot replace Ded1 function in supporting mitotic translation, partly due to inefficient translation of the DBP1 coding region.

- Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on renal replacement therapy (RRT) face a high risk of infections from cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIED), but device extraction, the usual way to manage these infections, is often avoided due to high procedural risks.
- A study analyzed data from CKD patients with CIED infections, finding that 30% underwent device extraction, which significantly improved one-year survival rates (59.2% vs. 48.8% for no extraction).
- Despite the survival benefits, the low rate of device extraction among these patients highlights a need for better management strategies in this high-risk group.
Background: Irrigated radiofrequency ablation with half-normal saline can potentially increase lesion size but may increase the risk of steam pops with the risk of emboli or perforation. We hypothesized that pops would be preceded by intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) findings as well as a large impedance fall.
Methods: In 100 consecutive patients undergoing endocardial ventricular arrhythmia radiofrequency ablation with half-normal saline, we attempted to observe the ablation site with ICE.

This study compared physiological responses to two work/rest cycles of a 2:1 work-to-rest ratio in a hot environment. In a randomized crossover design, fourteen participants completed 120 min of walking and rest in the heat (36.3 ± 0.
