Descriptive analysis of free-text comments on healthcare priorities and experiences in a national sample of people with multiple sclerosis.

Background: People with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) often require care from multiple healthcare services and providers to fulfill their physical and psychological healthcare needs, including those related to their MS and those due to co-occurring disorders. However, they often experience barriers to accessing healthcare specialists, providers, and services.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to understand patients' healthcare preferences, perceived importance of elements of their care, and encountered barriers through analyzing patients' free-text comments.

Reversion-reporter transgenes to analyze all six base-substitution pathways in Arabidopsis.

To expand the repertoire of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mutation-reporter transgenes, we constructed six mutant alleles in the same codon of the β-glucuronidase-encoding GUS transgene. Each allele reverts to GUS+ only via a particular one of the six transition/transversion pathways. AcV5 epitope tags, fused carboxyl terminal to the inactive GUS- proteins, enabled semiquantitative immunoassays in plant protein extracts.

Gender differences in genetic and environmental influences on gambling: results from a sample of twins from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health.

Aims: To examine the extent to which genetic factors and shared and non-shared environmental factors are implicated in the development of gambling behaviors and to examine whether there are gender differences in the genetic and environmental contributors to gambling behaviors.

Design: A genetically informative analysis was performed by using DeFries-Fulker (DF) analysis.

Setting: Analysis of secondary data drawn from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health).
