[Analysis of defects in health care delivery for children based on the data of commission forensic medical examinations performed in the Republic of Uzbekistan].

Objective: To perform a retrospective analysis of the commission forensic medical examinations' data of pediatric profile with identification of defects in health care delivery and establishment of their connection with unfavorable outcome.

Material And Methods: The data of 3854 commission forensic medical examinations performed in the period from 2012 to 2021 regarding the evaluation of quality of health care delivery for children with the establishment of nature and type of defects in health care delivery, determination of disease (injury) outcome, identification of cause-effect relationship between the defect in health care delivery and negative disease (injury) outcome.

Results And Conclusions: Defects in health care delivery were equal 9% in the studied commission forensic medical examinations.

New Viruses Infecting Hyperthermophilic Bacterium .

Highly diverse phages infecting thermophilic bacteria of the genus have been isolated over the years from hot springs around the world. Many of these phages are unique, rely on highly unusual developmental strategies, and encode novel enzymes. The variety of phages is clearly undersampled, as evidenced, for example, by a paucity of phage-matching spacers in CRISPR arrays.

Genomic transfer via membrane vesicle: a strategy of giant phage phiKZ for early infection.

Unlabelled: During infection, the giant phiKZ phage forms a specialized structure at the center of the host cell called the phage nucleus. This structure is crucial for safeguarding viral DNA against bacterial nucleases and for segregating the transcriptional activities of late genes. Here, we describe a morphological entity, the early phage infection (EPI) vesicle, which appears to be responsible for earlier gene segregation at the beginning of the infection process.

A Deep Learning Approach to Uncover Voltage-Gated Ion Channels' Intermediate States.

Owing to recent advancements in cryo-electron microscopy, voltage-gated ion channels have gained a greater comprehension of their structural characteristics. However, a significant enigma remains unsolved for a large majority of these channels: their gating mechanism. This mechanism, which encompasses the conformational changes between open and closed states, is pivotal to their proper functioning.

Purification of Potassium Ion Channels Using Styrene-Maleic Acid Copolymers.

Structural studies require the production of target proteins in large quantities and with a high degree of purity. For membrane proteins, the bottleneck in determining their structure is the extraction of the target protein from the cell membranes. A detergent that improperly mimics the hydrophobic environment of the protein of interest can also significantly alter its structure.
