Nurses' experiences of using falls alarms in subacute care: A qualitative study.

Bed and chair alarms have been included in many multifaceted falls prevention interventions. None of the randomised trials of falls alarms as sole interventions have showed significant effect on falls or falls with injury. Further, use of bed and chair alarms did not change patients' fear of falling, length of hospital stay, functional status, discharge destination or health related quality of life.

Emission projections for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Section 812 second prospective Clean Air Act cost/benefit analysis.

Section 812 of the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990 requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to perform periodic, comprehensive analyses of the total costs and total benefits of programs implemented pursuant to the CAAA.

Interference with T cell receptor-HLA-DR interactions by Epstein-Barr virus gp42 results in reduced T helper cell recognition.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) persists lifelong in infected hosts despite the presence of antiviral immunity. Many viral antigens are expressed during lytic infection. Thus, for EBV to spread, it must have evolved effective ways to evade immune recognition.

Mutational analysis of the HLA class II interaction with Epstein-Barr virus glycoprotein 42.

Entry of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) into B lymphocytes requires the binding of viral glycoprotein 42 (gp42), a C-type lectin family member, to HLA class II. Recently, the structure of the gp42:HLA-DR1 complex was determined. In order to confirm the interaction as determined in the structural study and to identify other potential interactive residues, a mutational analysis of HLA class II was performed.

Structure of the Epstein-Barr virus gp42 protein bound to the MHC class II receptor HLA-DR1.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) causes infectious mononucleosis, establishes long-term latent infections, and is associated with a variety of human tumors. The EBV gp42 glycoprotein binds MHC class II molecules, playing a critical role in infection of B lymphocytes. EBV gp42 belongs to the C-type lectin superfamily, with homology to NK receptors of the immune system.
