Improving thermoregulation in transported preterm infants: a quality improvement initiative.

Objective: Increase the percentage of transported preterm or LBW infants with an admission temperature of 36.5-37.5 °C from 60 to 80% by December 2017.

American Society of Echocardiography: Remote Echocardiography with Web-Based Assessments for Referrals at a Distance (ASE-REWARD) Study.

Background: Developing countries face the dual burden of high rates of cardiovascular disease and barriers in accessing diagnostic and referral programs. The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of performing focused echocardiographic studies with long-distance Web-based assessments of recorded images for facilitating care of patients with cardiovascular disease.

Methods: Subjects were recruited using newspaper advertisements and were prescreened by paramedical workers during a community event in rural north India.

Ccm1p/Ygr150cp, a pentatricopeptide repeat protein, is essential to remove the fourth intron of both COB and COX1 pre-mRNAs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

YGR150C gene product (Ygr150cp) is one of the three mitochondrially located Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins with pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) motifs. Ygr150cp is essential for mitochondrial functionality but its molecular targets are still unknown. This study was undertaken to define the role of Ygr150cp in mitochondria biogenesis.
