Evaluation of currently available 16S rRNA gene copy number correction software packages for accuracy and impact in a mock microbial community and urinary microbiome dataset
No full textHere we evaluated the accuracy of several freely available software packages to correct for variable gene copy numbers in microbiome profiling using the 16S rRNA gene. We then applied these corrections to a published urinary microbiome dataset to show that the use of one of these packages has a measurable effect on the final results of human urinary microbiome studies
Alpha-synuclein modulates the repair of genomic DNA double-strand breaks in a DNA-PKcs-regulated manner
Get PDFThis dissertation investigates the role of alpha-synuclein in DNA double-strand break repair, specifically non-homologous end joining via CRISPR/Cas9 lentiviral and next generation sequencing approaches. It also contains novel findings of how Polo-like kinase family inhibition can lead to neuroprotection of cortical neurons bearing alpha-synuclein lewy pathology in a Parkinson's Disease mouse model using an in vivo imaging technique

Problems of hospital administration
Get PDFThe hospital is an extremely complex organization. It deals with human lives and services which must be given away if individuals are unable to pay. All who need services of the hospital could be considered abnormal, physically or mentally or both. Friends and relatives of patients are often even more difficult to deal with and many are entirely unfamiliar with hospitals until services are needed. No problems could be more complicated than those arising out of such circumstances, and many new problems arise every day. A few of these more common problems will be discussed in this outline and, to this end, administrators must have complete sympathetic understanding of staff problems so institutions can function to the fullest degree.
