Pol II-mediated transcription is essential for eukaryotic life. While loss of transcription is thought to be universally lethal, the associated mechanisms promoting cell death are not yet known. Here, we show that death following loss of Pol II is not caused by dysregulated gene expression.

We compare the sensing performance of the fundamental modes on a TFLN waveguide with a fluorescent dye sample. The TM mode has better overlap with the sample, with a 1.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of infants age <12 months receiving subspecialty child abuse evaluations from February 2021 to December 2022 at 10 sites in CAPNET, a multicenter child abuse research network. Infants were included if they underwent a skeletal survey and lacked overt signs of possible ICI or blunt head injury.
Article Synopsis
- People who have had a stroke are significantly more likely to experience another stroke compared to those who haven't, making it vital to address lifestyle factors like inactivity and poor diet to lower blood pressure and stroke risk.
- Survivors often face barriers to accessing risk reduction services, such as long wait times and limited transportation, highlighting the need for more accessible solutions, like an online health intervention platform.
- The i-REBOUND after stroke website was developed using a collaborative approach and design thinking framework, focusing on creating an easy-to-navigate resource tailored to stroke survivors, by adapting existing telehealth programs for better accessibility and support.
Background: Skeletal surveys (SS) are recommended for the evaluation of suspected physical abuse in children <2 years old. No guidelines exist for SS completion in children between 2 and 5 years old.
Objective: To determine rates of SS completion by age and examine variables associated with occult fracture identification in older children.
