To investigate accuracy of ICD-9/10 billing codes in a multicenter cohort. Health services research on appendicitis often relies administrative databases. However, may misclassify disease severity, as we demonstrated previously single institution study. We performed study adult patients with who presented to one six US medical centers during 2012-2015 (ICD-9 era) and 2018-2021 (ICD-10 era). Patients were identified based ICD codes. Diagnosis was confirmed via chart review. Each patient...
Abstract We present a plasmid-based system in which upstream trans-splicing efficiently generates mRNAs that encode head-to-tail protein multimers. In this system, occurs between one of two downstream splice donors the sequence encoding C-terminal V5 epitope tag and an acceptor 5′ region pCS2(+) host plasmid. Using deletion fusion constructs DUX4 as example, we found produced trans-spliced coding regions from independent transcripts were fused phase such covalent multimers translated. For...
