Peri-operative identification and management of patients with unhealthy alcohol intake.

Introduction: This consensus statement gives practical advice for the safe management of patients with harmful alcohol intake undergoing elective and emergency surgery. The wide spectrum of alcohol-related organ dysfunction observed in this cohort of patients may have a profound impact on care, and the additional effects of alcohol withdrawal may further exacerbate postoperative morbidity and mortality.

Methods: A working party was assembled based on clinical and/or academic expertise in the area.

Association between vitamin D status at 3 years and eosinophilic asthma in 6-year-old children with a history of severe bronchiolitis.

The association between early childhood serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and eosinophilic asthma remains unclear. We investigated this association using multicentre prospective data from 584 children with a history of bronchiolitis requiring hospitalisation (high-risk population). Low serum 25(OH)D levels (<20 ng/mL) were associated with increased odds of developing eosinophilic asthma (adjusted OR 2.

Single-Molecule Tracking dataset for histone H3 (hht1) from live and fixed cells of Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Single-molecule tracking provides direct real-time measurements of protein dynamics in live cells with high spatiotemporal resolution. In the last decade, this method has been adopted by several labs to understand the dynamics of DNA replication, transcription, telomerase, chromatin remodeling, etc. in a variety of model systems (bacteria, yeast S.

Role of ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers in meiosis.

In eukaryotic cells, DNA is wrapped around histone octamers to compact the genome. Although such compaction is required for the precise segregation of the genome during cell division, it restricts the DNA-protein interactions essential for several cellular processes. During meiosis, a specialized cell division process that produces gametes, several DNA-protein interactions are crucial for assembling meiosis-specific chromosome structures, meiotic recombination, chromosome segregation, and transcriptional regulation.
