It may be difficult for clinicians to recognize subtle types of clozapine-induced seizures, such as myoclonic, atonic, or partial seizures. Clinicians should not place excessive reliance on the plasma level of clozapine or electroencephalogram findings to predict the occurrence of seizures. When a first seizure occurs, it is recommended that the dosage of clozapine be reduced or an alternative antipsychotic agent be employed. If a second seizure occurs, an anticonvulsant drug should be started. Special attention should be paid when commencing or discontinuing concurrent medication that may affect the plasma level of clozapine.
Demonstrates the uses of real-time interactive video consultations in wider areas of dentistry, including with anxious patients or to review non-urgent stable patients.
Viruses depend upon the host cell for manufacturing components of progeny virions. To mitigate the inextricable dependence on host cell protein synthesis, viruses can modulate protein synthesis through a variety of mechanisms. We report that the viral protein kinase (vPK) encoded by open reading frame 36 (ORF36) of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) enhances protein synthesis by mimicking the function of the cellular protein S6 kinase (S6KB1). Similar to S6KB1, vPK phosphorylates the ribosomal S6 protein and up-regulates global protein synthesis. vPK also augments cellular proliferation and anchorage-independent growth. Furthermore, we report that both vPK and S6KB1 phosphorylate the enzyme 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2, 6-bisphosphatase 2 (PFKFB2) and that both kinases promote endothelial capillary tubule formation.cell signaling | viral protein kinase | S6K | KSHV | ORF36
29 30 SARS-CoV-2 is constantly evolving. Prior studies have focused on high case-density locations, such 31 as the Northern and Western metropolitan areas in the U.S. This study demonstrates continued 32 SARS-CoV-2 evolution in a suburban Southern U.S. region by high-density amplicon sequencing of 33 symptomatic cases. 57% of strains carried the spike D614G variant. The presence of D614G was 34 associated with a higher genome copy number and its prevalence expanded with time. Four strains 35 carried a deletion in a predicted stem loop of the 3' untranslated region. The data are consistent with 36 community spread within the local population and the larger continental U.S. No strain had mutations 37 in the target sites used in common diagnostic assays. The data instill confidence in the sensitivity of 38 current tests and validate "testing by sequencing" as a new option to uncover cases, particularly those 39 not conforming to the standard clinical presentation of COVID-19. This study contributes to the 40 understanding of COVID-19 by providing an extensive set of genomes from a non-urban setting and 41 further informs vaccine design by defining D614G as a dominant and emergent SARS-CoV-2 isolate 42 in the U.S.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
