The Arabidopsis NPR1 gene is essential in activating systemic, inducible plant defense responses. To gain a better understanding of function, we conducted yeast two-hybrid screening procedure and identified differential interaction between all known members the TGA family basic leucine zipper transcription factors. In electrophoretic mobility shift assay, substantially increased binding TGA2 to its cognate promoter element (as-1) as well positive salicylic acid–inducible (LS7) negative (LS5)...
In Brief OBJECTIVE: To estimate the rate of peripartum hysterectomy over last 8 years in Calgary, primary indication for (defined as any performed within 24 hours a delivery), and whether there was an increase during that time. METHOD: Detailed chart review all cases hysterectomy, 1999–2006, including previous obstetric history, details index pregnancy, indications outcome infant morbidity. RESULTS: The overall 87 108,154 or 0.8 per 1,000 deliveries. were uterine atony (32 87, 37%) suspected...
Pediococci are found in foods and on plants as beer-spoilage agents. The goal of the present study was to use DNA sequences first three variable regions 165 rRNA gene, 16S-23S internally transcribed spacer region sequence approximately a third 60 kDa heat-shock protein gene elucidate phylogenetic groupings within genus Pediococcus. Phylogenetic trees were created with data from 31 Pediococcus Lactobacillus isolates. Complete 16S selected isolates also examined. results interpreted relation...
Abstract We report 2 clinically characteristic and serologically positive cases of Ross River virus infection in Canadian tourists who visited Fiji late 2003 early 2004. This suggests that is once again circulating Fiji, where it apparently disappeared after causing an epidemic 1979 to 1980.
In Canada, Indigenous people have higher human papillomavirus (HPV) infection rates, lower screening rates for cervical cancer, and of invasive leading to worse cancer-related outcomes than observed in non-Indigenous Canadian women. Lingering harms from European colonization drive these health inequities create public challenges. Policy guidance is needed optimize HPV vaccination and, thereby, decrease the burden HPV-related illness, including high-morbidity surgical procedures...
► NUT midline carcinoma is a rare and aggressive cancer arising in structures of squamous cell lineage. Diagnosis by use molecular tests possible with clinical suspicion. refractory to conventional treatments, but understanding alterations may lead an effective therapy.
In this study, we aimed to test whether prognostic biomarkers can achieve a clinically relevant stratification of patients with stage I ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) and survey the expression 10 selected actionable targets (theranostic biomarkers) in II IV cases. From population-based Alberta Ovarian Tumor Type 160 samples OCCC were evaluated by immunohistochemistry and/or silver-enhanced situ hybridization for status 5 (p53, p16, IGF2BP3, CCNE1, FOLR1) theranostic (ALK, BRAF V600E,...

Treatment of ovarian cancer often requires extensive surgical resection. The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block has been utilized in benign gynecologic surgery to decrease post-operative pain and opioid use. We hypothesized that TAP blocks would total use the first 24 hours length stay following staging cytoreductive for compared with either no local anesthetic or wound infiltration alone.All patients undergoing from November 2016 June 2017 were included this retrospective cohort study....
