Dextrose 50% versus Dextrose 10% or Dextrose Titration for the Treatment of Out-of-Hospital Hypoglycemia: A Systematic Review.

Introduction: Paramedics commonly administer intravenous (IV) dextrose to severely hypoglycemic patients. Typically, the treatment provided is a 25g ampule of 50% dextrose (D50). This dose of D50 is meant to ensure a return to consciousness.

Améliorer le rappel des individus âgés de 60 ans et plus à l'aide de l'entretien cognitif : une revue et méta-analyse.

Les aînés sont souvent perçus comme des témoins peu fiables, une perception qui est partiellement appuyée par des travaux qui démontrent que les témoignages des aînés tendent à être moins détaillés que ceux produits par des témoins plus jeunes. L'entretien cognitif est une technique d'interrogatoire qui repose sur des stratégies de rappel issues des sciences cognitives. Plusieurs travaux récents démontrent l'efficacité de l'entretien cognitif auprès d'échantillons de jeunes adultes.

Comparative multiplex dosage analysis detects whole exon deletions at the phenylalanine hydroxylase locus.

We have developed quantitative comparative multiplex dosage analysis to detect altered copy number of regions of the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene. Out of 41 alleles (4% of 1,010 PKU chromosomes) on which a mutation had not been characterized previously, this technique has highlighted two novel mutations: deletions of exon 5 and of exon 6 on a total of eight alleles. Restriction-enzyme digestion of genomic DNA and hybridization to an amplified segment of the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) cDNA probe PAH247 established the size of the deletion in five individuals to be between 700 and 900 bases.

alphaNAC requires an interaction with c-Jun to exert its transcriptional coactivation.

alphaNAC is a transcriptional coactivator known to interact with the N-terminal activation domain of the c-Jun transcription factor. In this article, we describe the identification of the c-Jun interaction domain within the alphaNAC protein. Deletion analysis of alphaNAC indicated that the c-Jun binding site was located in the middle part of the protein, between residues 89 and 129.
