STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE SEPSIS AS THE INITIAL PRESENTATION OF SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS


Reduced Intracellular c-di-GMP Content Increases Expression of Quorum Sensing-Regulated Genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is an intracellular secondary messenger which controls the biofilm life cycle in many bacterial species.High intracellular c-di-GMP content enhances biofilm formation via the reduction of motility and production of biofilm matrix, while low c-di-GMP content in biofilm cells leads to increased motility and biofilm dispersal.

Use of the Composite Pedicled Pectoralis Minor Flap after Resection of Soft Tissue Sarcoma in Reconstruction of the Glenohumeral Joint

The surgical repair of SHEA OIL an extensive anterior glenohumeral soft tissue defect is complicated by glenohumeral instability and subsequent significant functional deficit.This surgical note offers a relatively simple reconstruction of the anterior capsule and subscapularis muscle using a pectoralis minor pedicle flap.This reconstruction is supp

Second generation sequencing of the mesothelioma tumor genome.

The current paradigm for elucidating the molecular etiology of cancers relies on the interrogation of small numbers of genes, which limits the scope of investigation.Emerging second-generation massively parallel DNA sequencing technologies have enabled more precise definition of the cancer genome on a global scale.We examined the genome of a human
