Mulet (mlt) encodes a tubulin-binding cofactor E-like homolog required for spermatid individualization in Drosophila melanogaster.

Spermatogenesis in all animal species occurs within a syncytium. Only at the very end of spermatogenesis are individual sperm cells resolved from this syncytium in a process known as individualization. Individualization in Drosophila begins as a membrane-cytoskeletal complex known as the individualization complex (IC) assembles around the sperm heads and proceeds down the flagella, removing cytoplasm from between the sperm tails and shrink-wrapping each spermatid into its own plasma membrane as it travels.

Frequently cited sources in cancer news coverage: a content analysis examining the relationship between cancer news content and source citation.

The media are a frequent and sometimes sole source of cancer information for many people. News coverage of cancer can be influential to cancer-related practices such as prevention or detection behaviors, and sources cited by journalists may be influential in shaping this coverage. A content analysis (n = 3,656 stories) revealed that the most frequently cited sources in cancer news articles-research institutions and medical journals-receive disproportionately more attention compared to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the American Cancer Society (ACS), and pharmaceutical companies.

Imp (IGF-II mRNA-binding protein) is expressed during spermatogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster.

Drosophila spermatogenesis results in the production of sixty‑four ~2-mm spermatozoa from an individual founder cell. Little is known, however, about the elongation of spermatids to such an extraordinary length. In a partial screen of a GFP-tagged protein trap collection, four insertions were uncovered that exhibit expression toward the tail ends of spermatid cysts and within the apical tip of the testis, suggesting that these protein traps may represent genes involved in spermatid elongation and pre-meiotic spermatogenesis, respectively.

The critical distance for the cycloaromatization reactions of enediynes.

It has been shown that the enediyne anticancer antibiotics e.g., calicheamicin, neocarzinostatin and others cleave DNA via the putative intermediate 1,4-diradical formed in the Bergmann cyclization and are thus useful for cancer chemotherapy.

N-(2-aminobenzyl)-N,N-bis(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)amine.

The title new diquinaldine derivative, C27H24N4, forms molecular assemblies organized by intermolecular quinoline pi-pi stacking [3.356 (3) and 3.440 (3) A] and both inter- and intramolecular N-H.

The pH tolerance of Chlamydomonas applanata (Volvocales, Chlorophyta).

The effects of hydrogen ions on the growth and ultrastructure of Chlamydomonas applanata Pringsheim were examined. This species exhibits wide tolerance growing at pH values ranging from 3.4 to 8.

Mutuality and preparedness of family caregivers for elderly women after bypass surgery.

The purposes of this study were to identify caregivers' feelings of mutuality and reported preparedness for caregiving at hospital discharge and to examine the relationship between these measures and the recovery outcomes of elderly women after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. A sample of 49 dyads was followed at discharge, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. The caregivers' Mutuality Scale (MS) scores and Preparedness for Caregiving (PCS) scores at discharge indicated positive feelings about the relationship with the elderly woman and their preparedness, and both measures were positively correlated with the self-report recovery measures at 3 months (p < .

Educators' responses to changes in the health care system.

A survey was conducted to identity programmatic/curricular changes made by New York state nursing schools in response to the changing health care environment and to identity the success of job placement for new graduates. Data were reported for 84 programs. Respondents indicated that innovative curriculum initiatives were employed, such as increasing community experiences and primary health care content.

Defining educational settings to improve client health teaching.

Nurses are better prepared for the changing health care environment if they know what composes the educational setting for client health teaching. By understanding how organizational, environmental, and clientele factors can be used to optimize learning in different settings, nurses can improve teaching quality and client outcomes.

Teaching management skills in the clinical setting: an essential curriculum component.

The clinical setting affords an excellent opportunity for baccalaureate nursing students to learn the essential management skills and abilities demanded today. A knowledgeable instructor can develop a flexible plan of simulated and practice based clinical experiences for students. This article presents examples of how management experiences are planned and implemented.

Maintaining career marketability as a professional nurse.

As we rush around attending to the essentials of our lives (family, friends, clients, employers), what is left? Nursing Forum invites readers to engage in thoughts and activities that may awaken an untouched place. We hope these writings will kindle your personal involvement in something that was previously avoided--because of bias, fear, or uneasiness--in order to stretch your mind and spirit. The ability to be competitive in the shifting marketplace of professional nursing practice is dependent upon a nurse attaining the credentials or experiences being sought.

A family systems model for divorce and the loss of self.

The dissolution of a marriage through divorce represents a major loss in the lives of all family members. Losses can include those of a physical, social, and emotional nature. The self as it was defined within the marital context and the loss of that self as a result of divorce is a significant source of potential dysfunction in adult family members during and after the divorce.
