This study was conducted to examine the feasibility of utilizing the self-administered Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST) in a family practice center. The main objectives of the study were to extend the scope of investigations using the self-administered MAST in outpatient settings and to consider the amount, nature, and implications of missing data. Of 207 participants, the questionnaire was fully completed by 160 (77 percent). Thirty respondents (18 percent) received positive scores (ie, 6 or higher). Results are compared with similar studies, and suggestions are offered for improving the use of the self-administered MAST in family practice settings.

The Aux/IAA family proteins, key components of the auxin signaling pathway, are plant-specific transcription factors with important roles in regulating a wide range of plant growth and developmental events. The family genes have been extensively studied in Arabidopsis. However, most of the family genes in rice have not been functionally studied.

After reporting the first known clinical case associating compound heterozygous single-nucleotide variants in Exon 2 of to aortic aneurysmal and iliac dissection, we began prospective surveillance in our vascular genetic practice for similar cases. Herein, we present nine (9) subjects from a total cohort of 135 with arterial aneurysms or dissections who revealed single-nucleotide variants in with no other alterations in a panel of 35 genes associated with aneurysmal and dissection disorders. Five out of nine (5/9) single-nucleotide variants were in Exon 1, and four out of nine (4/9) mutations were in Exon 2, both of which are principal coding exons for this gene.

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) cause serious complications among hospitalized patients due to biofilm-forming microorganisms which make treatment ineffective by forming antibiotic-resistant strains. As most CAUTI-causing bacterial pathogens have already developed multidrug resistance, there is an urgent need for alternative antibacterial agents to prevent biofilms on catheter surfaces. As a trial to find out such a potential agent of natural origin, the bark of Rottl.
