We tested the hypothesis that treatment of rats with curcumin prevents sepsis-induced muscle protein degradation. In addition, we determined influence on different proteolytic pathways are activated in septic (i.e., ubiquitin-proteasome-, calpain-, and cathepsin L-dependent proteolysis) examined role NF-<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="E2"><mml:mi>κ</mml:mi></mml:math>B p38/MAP kinase inactivation curcumin-induced inhibition breakdown.

This survey study explores how retired surgeons reflect on their careers and attitudes toward career decisions.
Muscle wasting during sepsis is at least in part regulated by glucocorticoids and associated with increased transcription of genes encoding the ubiquitin ligases atrogin-1 muscle-specific RING-finger protein-1 (MuRF1). Recent studies suggest that muscle atrophy caused denervation reduced expression nuclear cofactor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator (PGC)-1β PGC-1β may be a repressor MuRF1 genes. The influence other muscle-wasting conditions on not known. We tested...
Abstract Muscle wasting is commonly seen in patients with hyperthyroidism and mainly caused by stimulated muscle proteolysis. Loss of mass several catabolic conditions associated increased expression the muscle‐specific ubiquitin ligases atrogin‐1 MuRF1 but it not known if are upregulated hyperthyroidism. In addition, thyroid hormone increases activity proteolytic mechanisms other than ubiquitin–proteasome pathway. We tested hypotheses that experimental rats, induced daily intraperitoneal...
Responding to agricultural bioterrorism with pathogenic agents that are communicable from animals humans (zoonotic diseases) requires effective coordination of many organizations, both inside and outside government. Action must be simultaneously taken address public health concerns, respond the dimensions event, carry out necessary law enforcement investigation. As part a project focused on examining preparedness in Georgia, an exercise was carried July 2005 intentional introduction avian...
Academic institutions possess tremendous resources that could be important for community disaster response and preparedness activities. In-depth exploration of the role academic in has elicited information about particular leveraged essential to response; factors contribute decision-making process partner engagement; facilitators barriers sustainable collaborations from perspectives institutions, public health emergency management agencies, national association agency leaders. The...
Objective: Our study evaluated the willingness of retired surgeons to mentor newly trained surgeons. Summary Background Data: Although mentoring is very important during transition in practice, many novice are faced with inadequacy or lack mentoring. Methods: A survey regarding mentorship new was sent April 2018 general, colorectal, vascular, and cardiothoracic that members American College Surgeons. The analysis data performed September October 2018. Results: total 2295 5282 surveys were...
In response to the 2014 Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in West Africa, Georgia Department of Public Health developed Infectious Disease Network (IDN) based on an EVD preparedness needs assessment hospitals and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) providers. The network consists 12 16 EMS providers with staff specially trained provide a coordinated utilize appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for transport or treatment suspected confirmed serious communicable patient. To become...
Background: Although successful retirement planning improves the well-being of retiring surgeons and facilitates effective succession strategies, status mentoring in academic surgery remains unknown. The present study was designed to evaluate presence for departments United States.

Rats were made by cecal ligation puncture or sham‐operated. Groups treated three intraperitoneal doses (600 mg/kg)...
Abstract Public Health is essential to disaster preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery. This has never been more evident than during the COVID-19 pandemic when public health was response lead. However, students are graduating from accredited schools colleges of with limited or no education in management. a crisis unto itself, it incumbent upon The Council on Education for (CEPH) take immediate action. preparedness should be recognized as core element curricula, practical...
