THE EVOLUTIONARY CONSERVED TRANSMEMBRANE BAX INHIBITOR MOTIF (TMBIM) CONTAINING PROTEIN FAMILY MEMBERS 5 AND 6 ARE ESSENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND SURVIVAL OF DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER

The Evolutionary Conserved Transmembrane BAX Inhibitor Motif (TMBIM) Containing Protein Family Members 5 and 6 Are Essential for the Development and Survival of Drosophila melanogaster

The mammalian Transmembrane BAX Inhibitor Motif (TMBIM) protein family consists of six evolutionarily conserved hydrophobic proteins that affect programmed cell death and the regulation of intracellular calcium levels.The bacterial ortholog BsYetJ is a pH-dependent calcium channel.We here identified seven TMBIM family members in Drosophila melanoga

Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) level to prevent expiratory flow limitation during cardiac surgery: study protocol for a randomized clinical trial (EFLcore study)

Abstract Background Lung dysfunction commonly occurs after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Randomized evidence suggests that the presence of expiratory flow limitation (EFL) in major abdominal surgery is associated with postoperative pulmonary complications.Appropriate lung recruitment and a correctly set positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) level

ROLE OF COMBINED 18-FLUORODEOXYGLUCOSE POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY/COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS WITH DIFFERENTIATED THYROID CANCER

Owing to the setting up of new nuclear medicine centers, not only choiceless treatment, such as radioactive iodine therapy, but also an indispensable technique in examination, such as 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18FDG PET/CT), has become available to many patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC).
