Sometimes You Have to Judge a Book by Its Cover: The Case of a Masquerading Pancreatic Mucinous Cyst.

Pancreatic cystic lesions are difficult to evaluate amid acute pancreatitis. Without previous pancreatic imaging, it is challenging to discern between pancreatic acute fluid collections and cystic neoplasms. We present a 29-year-old woman with acute pancreatitis and initial cross-sectional imaging suggesting a 2.

Relationship between socioeconomic status and gastrointestinal infections in developed countries: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The association between socioeconomic status (SES) and health is well-documented; however limited evidence on the relationship between SES and gastrointestinal (GI) infections exists, with published studies producing conflicting results. This systematic review aimed to assess the association between SES and GI infection risk, and explore possible sources of heterogeneity in effect estimates reported in the literature.

Methods: MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science and grey literature were searched from 1980 to October 2015 for studies reporting an association between GI infections and SES in a representative population sample from a member-country of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

DNA binding of the transcription activator protein MelR from Escherichia coli and its C-terminal domain.

MelR is an Escherichia coli transcription factor belonging to the AraC family. It activates expression of the melAB operon in response to melibiose. Full-length MelR (MelR303) binds to two pairs of sites upstream of the melAB transcription start site, denoted sites 1' and 1 and sites 2 and 2', and to a fifth site, R, which overlaps the divergent melR promoter.

The synthesis and characterization of compounds of the type Hg[1-C(6)H(4)-2-C(H)=NC(6)H(5-n)R(n)](2).

The organomercurial compounds Hg[1-C(6)H(4)-2-C(H)=NC(6)H(5-n)R(n)](2) (R = 4-NMe(2), 6a; 4-Me, 6b; 4-I, 6c; 4-NO(2), 6d; 2-(i)Pr, 6e; 2-Me, 6f; 2,6-(i)Pr(2), 6g; 2,6-Me(2), 6h) have been prepared in good overall yield from 2-bromobenzaldehyde. All of the compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, (1)H NMR, (13)C[(1)H] NMR, and infrared spectroscopy. In addition, compounds 6a [C(30)H(30)HgN(4), triclinic, P, a = 6.
