Background: Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are important to evidence-based medicine, but the information retrieval and literature screening procedures are burdensome tasks. Rapid Medical Evidence Synthesis (RMES; Deloitte Tohmatsu Risk Advisory LLC) is a software designed to support information retrieval, literature screening, and data extraction for evidence-based medicine.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of RMES for literature screening with reference to published systematic reviews.
The electrochemical Ni deposition at a platinum electrode was investigated in a plating nickel bath in the presence and absence of ethylene glycol (EG) using fluorescence yield soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (FY-XAS) in the Ni L-edge and O K-edge regions under potential control. At ≤+0.35 V the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), the electrochemical Ni deposition was detected by the Ni L-edge FY-XAS in the presence of EG whereas almost no such event was observed in the absence of EG.

EFA6C, also known as Psd2, is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Arf6 that is preferentially expressed in the cerebellar cortex of adult mice, particularly in Purkinje cells. However, the roles of EFA6C in cerebellar development and functions remain unknown.

In this study, we first demonstrated that cytohesin-2 localized to the plasma membrane and vesicles in various subcellular compartment in hippocampal neurons by immunoelectron microscopy. Next, to understand the molecular network of cytohesin-2 in neurons, we conducted yeast two-hybrid screening of brain cDNA libraries using cytohesin-2 as bait and isolated pallidin, a component of the biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex 1 (BLOC-1) involved in endosomal trafficking.
