induces methylomic changes in ten-eleven translocation to ensure bacterial reproduction in human lung epithelial cells.

is a Gram-negative flagellated bacteria that can infect human lungs and cause a severe form of pneumonia named Legionnaires' disease. We hypothesize that infection induces methylomic changes in methylcytosine dioxygenases, ten-eleven translocation (TET) genes, and controls DNA methylation following infection. In the current research, we sought to further investigate DNA methylation changes in human lung epithelial cells upon infection and determine how methylation inhibitor agents disturb reproduction.

High-risk indicators for family involvement in social work in health care: a review of the literature.

Shifts in health concerns, fiscal restraints, technological advances, and demands for accountability have created severe tensions within health care settings. New demands point to the need for a redefinition of services. High-risk screening appears to be a clear method of delineating service need.

Advancing social work practice in the health field: a collaborative research partnership.

This article describes and analyzes the development of a collaborative research model by one university faculty of social work and 10 health care settings. Established working relationships for educating students were the foundation of a research partnership formed to study questions of mutual interest. This article discusses the developmental stage of the research consortium, including needs assessment, workshop, identification of a common theme and research topic, preliminary funding, and literature review.

Occurrence of Psorophora howardii in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York.
