Published: October 1997

An in vitro protein synthesizing system that employs rabbit reticulocyte lysates has been employed for protein production from mRNAs containing nonsense (UAG) codons in the presence of misacylated suppressor tRNAs.The system includes a misacylated Escherichia coli tRNAAlaCUA that functions at least as efficiently as any suppressor tRNA transcript reported to date and which has been shown not to be a substrate for (re)activation by alanyl-tRNA synthetase. Application of the optimized system for preparation of dihydrofolate analogs has also permitted analysis of competing mechanisms that control the sites(s) of translation initiation.

There is increased recognition of the need to improve post-diagnostic pathways for people with dementia and their care partners living in the community to access rehabilitation services to support independence and wellbeing. However, there is minimal evidence on implementing rehabilitation services for this population. The study aimed to present the expectations and experiences of allied health staff involved in piloting the Sustainable Personalised Interventions for Cognition, Care and Engagement (SPICE) program based at an outpatient clinic of a public rehabilitation hospital.

Background And Aims: Patients with very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD), with an age of onset < 6 years, can present with severe manifestations and may require biologic therapy. Infliximab and adalimumab are approved for induction and maintenance in pediatric IBD patients but are licensed only above the age of 6 years. Effectiveness and safety data on adalimumab in this patient population are lacking.

The scientific literature on talent identification is extensive, with significant advancements made over the past 30 years. However, as with any field, the translation of research into practice and its impact on the field have been slower than anticipated. Indeed, recent findings highlight a pervasive relative age effect, the effects of maturation being often overlooked, disparate populations between young and senior performers, and a necessity to embrace a holistic approach.

The advancements in medicine throughout the twentieth century have been largely attributed to animal studies. The initial step in researching an animal disease is to establish a model closely resembling the clinical circumstances in humans. Consequently, an excellent animal model is essential for almost any experimental research.
