The type of professional identity expressed by participants in this study may limit opportunities for full and optimal expression of their role. Conclusions Further work is necessary to better understand the professional identity formation of regulated pharmacy technicians, to help support the evolution of this role.

© 2020 The Authors. Published under the terms of the CC BY 4.0 license.WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Polypharmacy is common, and many medications have cognitive side effects. Such effects can be transient and subside when the drug in question is discontinued or can be long-lasting with effects present for years afterwards. Although formal…[Read more]

Patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) are at high risk of cognitive impairment. In addition to persistent seizures and antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), genetic factors also play an important role in the progression of cognitive deficits in TLE patients. Defining a cognitive endophenotype for TLE can provide information on the risk of cognitive…[Read more]

To analyze the genetic origin, relationships, structure, and admixture in Mayan Native American groups from Guatemala and Mexico based on 15 autosomal short tandem repeats (STRs) loci commonly used in human identification (HID).

We genotyped 513 unrelated Mayan samples from Guatemala based on 15 STR loci (AmpFlSTR® Identifiler kit).…[Read more]

Substance misuse in adults 60 years of age and older is one of the fastest-growing health issues in the United States. Alcohol and prescription drugs are among the most commonly misused agents. With growing concern for opioid-overdose deaths and the use of opioids in the treatment of persistent pain in older adults, it is imperative that…[Read more]

Rapid advances in technology are revealing previously unknown organization, cooperation, and limitations within the population of nontumor cells surrounding the tumor epithelium known as the tumor microenvironment (TME). Nowhere are these findings more pertinent than in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract where exquisite cell specialization supports a…[Read more]

Further research with larger samples will be necessary to determine whether it would supplement or replace more traditional teaching modalities.Biatrial flutter is a rare form of macro-reentrant atrial tachycardia that involves both the right and left atria. Single-loop biatrial flutter is typically associated with scarring of the septum from…[Read more]

In our everyday behavior, we frequently cancel one movement while continuing others. Two competing models have been suggested for the cancellation of such specific actions (1) the abrupt engagement of a unitary global inhibitory mechanism followed by reinitiation of the continuing actions; or (2) a balance between distinct global and selective…[Read more]

9% to 88.0%, BNO increased from 4.9% to 6.2%, and BNGE decreased from 13.3% to 5.8%. Neuroimmunology/multiple sclerosis drugs represented >50% of the total payments despite being only 4.3% of claims.

Payments for neurologist-prescribed brand name, but not generic, drugs in Medicare Part D increased consistently and well above inflation…[Read more]

However there were exceptions to this trend; r-protein RPS14C doubled its degradation rate in both oxidative treatments. Overall we show ribosome abundance decreases and their age increases with oxidative stress in line with loss of cell growth rate and total cellular protein amount, but ribosome function of the aging ribosomes appeared to be…[Read more]

Kim and Opfer (2017) report data that demonstrate children produce a negatively accelerating (e.g., logarithmic) response pattern in the unbounded number-line task. This pattern of results is the opposite of those generally reported for the unbounded number-line task (e.g., Cohen & Blanc-Goldhammer, 2011; Cohen & Sarnecka, 2014). We believe Kim…[Read more]

Phantoms containing Fe3+ demonstrated detectable changes in T2* and QSM relaxation times relative to Fe2+ phantoms. Compared to pre-P-AscH-, GBM T2* and QSM imaging were significantly changed post-P-AscH- infusion consistent with conversion of Fe3+ to Fe2+. No significant changes in T2* or QSM were observed in normal brain tissue. There was…[Read more]

Cellulose is synthesized by cellulose synthases (CESAs) from the glycosyltransferase GT-2 family. In plants, the CESAs form a six-lobed rosette-shaped CESA complex (CSC). Here we report crystal structures of the catalytic domain of Arabidopsis thaliana CESA3 (AtCESA3CatD) in both apo and uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucose (UDP-Glc)-bound forms.…[Read more]

Nanoparticles must recognize, adhere to, and/or traverse multiple barriers in sequence to achieve cytosolic drug delivery. New nanoparticles often exhibit a unique ability to cross a single barrier (i.e. the vasculature, cell membrane, or endosomal compartment), but fail to deliver an adequate dose to intracellular sites of action because they…[Read more]

Importantly, bacterial dark reactivation was completely suppressed by UV/chlorine treatment but not UV or chlorination. This study suggests that the UV/chlorine treatment can completely damage bacteria and is promising for pathogen inactivation to overcome the limitations of UV and chlorine treatments alone.Reductive concerted proton-electron…[Read more]

The study of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) is receiving increasing attention worldwide because of their contribution to human health. Developing an effective and sustainable method for screening TCMs is highly desired to accelerate the modernization of TCMs. In this work, we report a neutrally charged membrane made of a positively charged…[Read more]
