Assessment of patient decision-making capacity in the context of voluntary euthanasia for psychic suffering caused by psychiatric disorders: a qualitative study of approaches among Belgian physicians.

Objective: In Belgium, people with an incurable psychiatric disorder can file a request for euthanasia claiming unbearable psychic suffering. For the request to be accepted, it has to meet stringent legal criteria. One of the requirements is that the patient possesses decision-making capacity.

Structure of the Haemophilus influenzae uvr-1+ gene: homology with other uvrC-like genes and characterization of the Haemophilus influenzae uvr-1 and uvr-2 mutations.

A 3.9 kb Haemophilus influenzae genomic DNA fragment was cloned in plasmid pUC9 that partially complemented the ultraviolet light sensitivity (UVs) of Escherichia coli uvrC mutant hosts. This fragment also complemented the UVs of H.

The sequence of the Haemophilus influenzae mutB gene indicates it encodes a DNA helicase II-like protein.

A 6.2-kb Haemophilus influenzae genomic DNA fragment which partially complemented both the mutator and ultraviolet light sensitive (UVs) phenotypes of the H. influenzae mutB1 mutant was isolated.

Cloning and characterization of the Haemophilus influenzae mutB gene.

The Haemophilus influenzae mutB+ gene complements Escherichia coli uvrD mutants. The E. coli uvrD+ gene complements H.
