is a non-lethal modifier of the mosaic eye phenotype in .

Genetic screens have been used to identify genes involved in the regulation of different biological processes. We identified growth mutants in a Flp/FRT screen using the eye to identify conditional regulators of cell growth and cell division. One mutant identified from this screen, , was mapped and characterized by researchers in undergraduate genetics labs as part of the Fly-CURE.

A look into the future? Patients' and health care staff's perception and evaluation of genetic information and the right not to know.

The progress of medical genetics leads to a significant increase in genetic knowledge and a vast expansion of genetic diagnostics. However, it is still unknown how these changes will be integrated into medical practice and how they will change patients' and healthy persons' perception and evaluation of genetic diagnoses and genetic knowledge. Therefore, we carried out a comprehensive questionnaire survey with more than 500 patients, clients seeking genetic counseling, health care staff, and healthy persons (N = 523).

Simulated Casualty Evacuation Performance Is Augmented by Deadlift Peak Force.

Introduction: The purpose of the current study was to examine if isometric peak force and rate of force development (RFD) were related to the ability to successfully perform a simulated casualty evacuation task in both unweighted and weighted conditions.

Methods: Eighteen male participants from Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) completed a maximum isometric deadlift on a force plate (IRB#HE16227). Isometric peak force and RFD were calculated from ground reaction force.

Genomic information and a person's right not to know: A closer look at variations in hypothetical informational preferences in a German sample.

In clinical practice and in research, there is an ongoing debate on how to return incidental and secondary findings of genetic tests to patients and research participants. Previous investigations have found that most of the people most of the time are in favor of full disclosure of results. Yet, the option to reject disclosure, based on the so-called right not to know, can be valuable especially for some vulnerable subgroups of recipients.

Psychiatric comorbidity and additional abuse of drugs in maintenance treatment with L- and D,L-methadone.

Sixty D,L- or L-methadone treated patients in maintenance therapy were interviewed for additional drug abuse and psychiatric comorbidity; 51.7% of the entire population had a comorbid Axis-I disorder, with a higher prevalence in females (P=0.05).
