Background: Research examining general practice supervisor wellbeing has often been conducted within the context of trainee wellbeing and educational outcomes.
Aim: To consolidate the current literature regarding the wellbeing of GP supervisors through a 'supervisor-wellbeing' lens.
Design & Setting: Literature review of original research studies on Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, and Ovid PsycINFO from inception to December 2022.
Objectives: This study was undertaken to analyze the prevalence of spondyloarthritis (SpA) in patients with acute anterior uveitis (AAU), to identify parameters associated with the presence of SpA, and to evaluate the performance of referral algorithms for identifying patients with a high probability of having SpA.
Methods: Prospectively recruited consecutive patients with noninfectious AAU underwent structured rheumatologic assessment including magnetic resonance imaging of the sacroiliac joints, allowing a definitive diagnosis/exclusion of concomitant SpA. Fisher's exact test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare AAU patients with SpA and AAU patients without SpA.

The yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, widely accepted as a model eukaryotic cell, contains two classes of neutral lipids, namely steryl esters and triacylglycerols. Triacylglycerols are synthesized through two pathways governed by the acyl-CoA diacylglycerol acyltransferase Dga1p and the phospholipid diacylglycerol acyltransferase Lro1p, respectively.

Whereas Erg1p (squalene epoxidase) is also present in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to a significant amount, only traces of Erg6p (sterol C-24 methyltransferase) and Erg7p (lanosterol synthase) are found in the ER. We have chosen these three Erg-proteins as typical representatives of lipid particle proteins to study targeting to their destination.
