The Role of the Primary Care Transformation Lead: A Qualitative Case Study.

Background: The introduction of Ontario Health Teams in Canada is a step toward achieving an equitable integrated system of care. The Middlesex-London Ontario Health Team (MLOHT) has been developed in parallel to the London-Middlesex Primary Care Alliance (LMPCA), a grassroots network for primary care physicians, health care administrators, and nurse practitioners. Key in the growth of the LMPCA was hiring a primary care transformation lead to support in engagement.

Septoria tritici blotch resistance gene Stb15 encodes a lectin receptor-like kinase.

Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by the Dothideomycete fungus Zymoseptoria tritici, is one of the most damaging diseases of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) and the target of costly fungicide applications. In line with the fungus's apoplastic lifestyle, STB resistance genes isolated to date encode receptor-like kinases (RLKs) including a wall-associated kinase (Stb6) and a cysteine-rich kinase (Stb16q). Here we used genome-wide association studies on a diverse panel of 300 whole-genome shotgun-sequenced wheat landraces (WatSeq consortium) to identify a 99-kb region containing six candidates for the Stb15 resistance gene.

First Determination of the Spin-Parity of Ξ_{c}(3055)^{+,0} Baryons.

The Ξ_{b}^{0(-)}→Ξ_{c}(3055)^{+(0)}(→D^{+(0)}Λ)π^{-} decay chains are observed, and the spin-parity of Ξ_{c}(3055)^{+(0)} baryons is determined for the first time. The measurement is performed using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s]=13  TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4  fb^{-1}, recorded by the LHCb experiment between 2016 and 2018.

Protein profiles predict treatment responses to the PI3K inhibitor umbralisib in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Purpose: The management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has significantly improved with targeted therapies. However, many patients experience a suboptimal response. To optimally select the best therapy, predictive biomarkers are necessary.

White Matter, Cognition, and Electrophysiological Variables in Bipolar Disorder: Using Multimodal Integration of Biomarker Variables Associated With Bipolar Disorder to Elucidate Deficits.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate associations in bipolar disorder (BD) across multimodal measures of white matter microstructure (using diffusion tensor imaging; DTI), cognitive, behavioral, and brain electrophysiological measures (using electroencephalography; EEG).

Methods: Subjects were recruited through the Psychosis and Affective Research Domains and Intermediate Phenotypes Consortium (n = 45 bipolar with psychosis, n = 40 bipolar without psychosis, n = 66 healthy subjects). DTI data were used to quantify the white matter variables, fractional anisotropy (FA) and radial diffusivity (RD).
