Calcium transfer from the ER to other organelles for optimal signaling in .

Ca signaling in cells begins with the opening of Ca channels in either the plasma membrane (PM) or the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and results in a dramatic increase in the physiologically low (<100 nM) cytosolic Ca level. The temporal and spatial Ca levels are well regulated to enable precise and specific activation of critical biological processes. Ca signaling regulates pathogenic features of apicomplexan parasites like which infects approximately one-third of the world's population.

Predicting Full Enteral Feeding in the Postoperative Period in Infants with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.

 The objective of the study is to examine the factors associated with time to achieve full enteral feeding after repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia.  Demographic, clinical, and therapeutic data were retrospectively assessed, and uni- and multivariate Cox regression were performed to examine factors predictive of achieving full enteral feeding that was defined as time to achieve120 mL/kg/d after surgical repair.  Of 78 infants, 66 underwent intervention before hospital discharge.
