Rod and cone photoreceptors use specialized biochemistry to generate light responses that differ in their sensitivity kinetics. However, it is unclear whether there are also synaptic differences affect the transmission of visual information. Here, we report dark, rods tonically release vesicles at a much slower rate than cones, as measured by fluorescent vesicle indicator FM1-43. To determine results from lower Ca 2+ or dark concentration , imaged indicators cycling intraterminal . We...
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life support system that circulates the blood through an oxygenating to temporarily (days months) heart or lung function during cardiopulmonary failure until organ recovery replacement. Currently, need for high levels of systemic anticoagulation and risk bleeding are main drawbacks ECMO can be addressed with redesigned system. Our lab has developed approach using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) fabrication techniques create novel gas...
Acute lung injury (ALI) is commonly encountered in the ICU and associated with significant mortality. The mainstay of therapy continues to be aggressive supportive care, including low tidal volume ventilation fluid conservative strategies. Recent developments field ALI include a proposal modify diagnostic criteria for Berlin Definition recent randomized controlled trials use neuromuscular blockade, beta-agonists, feeding goal this article review, summarize, comment on these emerging data...
