    Cases reviewed by the consilium had several comorbidities, drug toxicities and a low treatment success rate. Consilia are important “gatekeepers” for new and repurposed drugs. There is need to build capacity of lower health facilities to construct DR-TB regimens and manage adverse effects.

    Perinatal depression is a pervasive public health concern that disproportionately affects low-income women and can have negative impacts on parenting and child developmental outcomes. Few interventions focus on preventing perinatal depression. Previous studies suggest that Mothers and Babies is efficacious in preventing the worsening of depressive symptoms and the onset of postpartum depression. This manuscript presents the protocol of the EPIC study (Effects of a Prenatal Depression Preventive Intervention on parenting and young children’s Self-Regulation and Functioning) to test the effects of Mothers and Babies on parenting and child developmental outcomes through 54 months postpartum. EPIC is an observational study that builds on a completed cluster-randomized trial (CRT). Innovations of this study are direct observations of a subsample of mother-child dyads and the inclusion of fathers/caregivers’ variables as moderators of maternal mental health.

    For this study, we plan to enroll 738 women with chilyses on the individual level.

    This study has several key strengths and innovations, as well as great potential significance to influence the long-term trajectories of parenting and child development via prenatal intervention.

    In soybean, some circadian clock genes have been identified as loci for maturity traits. However, the effects of these genes on soybean circadian rhythmicity and their impacts on maturity are unclear.

    We used two geographically, phenotypically and genetically distinct cultivars, conventional juvenile Zhonghuang 24 (with functional J/GmELF3a, a homolog of the circadian clock indispensable component EARLY FLOWERING 3) and long juvenile Huaxia 3 (with dysfunctional j/Gmelf3a) to dissect the soybean circadian clock with time-series transcriptomal RNA-Seq analysis of unifoliate leaves on a day scale. The results showed that several known circadian clock components, including RVE1, GI, LUX and TOC1, phase differently in soybean than in Arabidopsis, demonstrating that the soybean circadian clock is obviously different from the canonical model in Arabidopsis. In contrast to the observation that ELF3 dysfunction results in clock arrhythmia in Arabidopsis, the circadian clock is conserved in soybean regardless of t of the circadian rhythmicity of the GmFT family showed that GmELF3a might phase- and amplitude-modulate the GmFT family to regulate the juvenility and maturity traits of soybean.

    These results and the resultant RNA-seq data should be helpful in understanding the soybean circadian clock and elucidating the connection between the circadian clock and soybean maturity.

    Medicines are central to healthcare in aging populations with chronic multi-morbidity. Their safe and effective use relies on a large and constantly increasing knowledge base. Despite the current era of unprecedented access to information, there is evidence that unmet information needs remain an issue in clinical practice. Bax apoptosis Unmet medicines information needs may contribute to sub-optimal use of medicines and patient harm. Little is known about medicines information needs in the primary care setting. The aim of this study was to investigate the nature of medicines information needs in routine general practice and understand the challenges and influences on the information-seeking behaviour of general practitioners.

    A mixed methods study involving 18 New Zealand general practitioner participants was undertaken. Quantitative data were collected to characterize the medicines information needs arising during 642 consultations conducted by the participants. Qualitative data regarding participant views on their mepractice. An individually responsive approach involving greater collaboration with pharmacists and specialist medicines information support services may provide a potential solution.

    Nephronophthisis (NPHP) is a chronic tubular interstitial disorder that exhibits an autosomal recessive genetic form and causes progressive renal failure in children. Patients with NPHP rarely show urinary abnormalities, edema, or hypertension. Thus, NPHP is often detected only when renal failure becomes advanced. NPHP can be divided into three types based on the age of end-stage renal failure, i.e., infant type (approximately 5 years old), juvenile type (approximately 13-14 years old), and adolescent type (approximately 19 years old). Here, we report a case of NPHP diagnosed by genetic analysis at 26 years of age with atypical histological abnormalities.

    A 26-year-old woman showed no growth disorders or urinary abnormalities in annual school physical examinations. However, at a check-up at 26 years old, she exhibited renal dysfunction (eGFR 26 mL/min/1.73 m

    ). Urine tests indicated low specific gravity of urine, but not proteinuria or microscopic hematuria. Urinary β2-microglobulin was high (805 μg/L), re with tubular interstitial disease dominantly in the distal tubules, it is necessary to discriminate NPHP, even in adult cases.

    NPHP is not merely a pediatric disease and is relatively high incidence in patients with adult onset end-stage of renal disease. In this case, typical histological abnormalities, such as cyst-like expansion of the tubular lesion, were not observed, and diagnosis was achieved by genetic analysis of the NPHP1 gene, which is responsible for the onset of NPHP. In patients with renal failure with tubular interstitial disease dominantly in the distal tubules, it is necessary to discriminate NPHP, even in adult cases.
