Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci from Amur honeysuckle, Lonicera maackii (Caprifoliaceae).

Premise Of The Study: Lonicera maackii (Caprifoliaceae) is one of the most problematic invasive shrubs in forests of the eastern United States. Microsatellite markers could serve to test putative source-sink relationships among populations to determine whether invasions progress along expanding fronts or through long-distance dispersal events followed by local expansion. •

Methods And Results: Eleven microsatellite loci were developed for Amur honeysuckle using a modified magnetic bead protocol.

Treatment of patients with unstable angina and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction.

Emergency department (ED) management of patients who present with suspected unstable angina (UA) and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is especially challenging. Therapies that demonstrate benefit in patients who experience proven disease may not be indicated in patients who present with suspected disease. The emergency practitioner must have a clear understanding of the benefit and harm of each therapy, allowing formulation of a simple approach to treatment selection based on disease presentation.
