Besides, a bacterial lysate obtained from the iasE-overexpressing strain exhibited endoribonuclease activity, as determined by a fluorometric assay based on fluorescent reporter RNAs. Together, these results indicate that the IasE/IsrA pair of S. Typhimurium constitutes a functional type I toxin-antitoxin system. BACKGROUND The true cost of liver and pancreatic surgery may not be completely ascertained by examining costs associated solely with the index hospitalization. We sought to assess post-discharge costs related to liver and pancreatic surgery after the index hospitalization. METHODS We identified Medicare beneficiaries who underwent liver and pancreatic resection between 2013 and 2015. To assess post-discharge costs, costs were assessed for the following all inpatient readmissions associated with an operative complication, follow-up outpatient visits with their operating surgeon, and use of skilled nursing facilities, hospice, and home health care within 90 days of discharge. RESULTS Among the 21,737 patients who underwent either pancreatic or liver resection, the median cost of the index admission was $20,500 (interquartile range $16,100-$34,300) (pancreas median $22,100; interquartile range $16,800-$36,500 vs liver median $19,100; interquartile range $15,100-$29,000). Approximately 30% (n = 6,435) had an all-cause readmission; more than half of readmissions (55.8%; n = 3,589) were related to an operative complication. Skilled nursing facilities and home health care services were utilized by 18.5% (n = 4,016) and 42.6% (n = 9,259) of patients, respectively. In total, nearly 75% of patients had additional, post-discharge hidden costs associated with their operative episode of care (n = 15,733 72.4%). Male sex (95% confidence interval 1.15-1.30) and black/African American race (95% confidence interval 1.02-1.34) were associated with greater odds of post-discharge costs (both less then 0.05). SGC707 in vitro CONCLUSION Nearly 3 out of 4 patients who underwent a liver or pancreatic resection had post-discharge costs. Male and black/African American patients had greater odds of incurring post-discharge costs. As payers move to more bundled care payment models, strategies aimed at bending the cost curve associated with both the in-hospital, as well as the post-discharge setting, are needed. INTRODUCTION Mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency (MTPD) is a long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorder characterized by co-existence of rhabdomyolysis episodes and peripheral neuropathy. Two phenotypes are described generalized mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency (gMTPD) and isolated long-chain-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (iLCHADD) that is always associated with the c.1528G>C mutation. Peripheral neuropathy of MTPD is commonly described in children as axonal, length-dependent and sensorimotor. OBJECTIVES To report clinical and electrophysiological features of four independent adult MTPD patients with peripheral neuropathy. RESULTS Onset of the disease was characterized in all patients by rhabdomyolysis episodes occurring during childhood preceded by severe hypoglycemic episodes in three patients. Peripheral nerve involvement manifesting as sensory ataxia appeared later, during adolescence or adulthood. In all cases, electroneuromyogram showed no length-dependent sensory potentials decrease characteristic of sensory neuronopathy ("ganglionopathy"). All patients harbored at least one c.1528G>C mutation. DISCUSSION We describe MTPD as a newly hereditary etiology of sensory neuronopathy in adults, specifically in patients with c.1528G>C mutation. MTPD should be screened for by performing plasma acylcarnitines in patients with chronic sensory neuronopathy and additional suggestive features such as exercise intolerance or retinopathy. Readmission amongst previous neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) graduates, especially for preterm infants, is common and remains a significant risk for these infants beyond the neonatal period. This review explores risk factors for readmissions, common reasons for requiring rehospitalization and explores opportunities for improving the transition from discharge to home with the ultimate goal of reducing readmissions for these high risk infants. OBJECTIVES The evolution of community pharmacist education is guided by successive reforms. They aim to reduce the gap between academic education and community pharmacy practice but the perception regarding these reforms is poorly documented. The present study describes the cross-perceptions between community pharmacists, pharmacy students and academics teachers regarding the gap between academic education and community pharmacy practice, and, therefore, the essential knowledges and skills for the community pharmacy practice. METHODS This study was conducted between April 2017 and April 2018 using an electronic survey for community pharmacists, academic teachers and pharmacy students. The results were discussed regarding previous studies with the aim to detect improvement points and vigilance related points. RESULTS This study shows that the pharmacy education program remains to be improved 77% of respondents believe that there is a significant gap between the initial education program and the community pharmacy practice. CONCLUSIONS This cross-perception helps to better identify the several ways to improve the points of vigilance and the associated-barriers. All the propositions by the three groups of respondents prior ask for a better definition of the needed skills for community pharmacy practice before determine the most important knowledges and pedagogic methods to reach these. All these propositions seem consistent with reducing the gap between pharmacy education and community pharmacy practice but they also raise several questions about unicity of the pharmacy graduation in France. OBJECTIVES In the present study, an eco- friendly micellar liquid chromatographic technique was validated for separation and quantification of two drugs; namely ribavirin (RIV), and sofosbuvir (SBV) in pure form, pharmaceuticals containing them, human plasma and human urine. These drugs are administered co-administered for treatment of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) that causes hepatitis C in humans. MATERIAL AND METHODS These drugs were separated using Nucleosil 100-5 phenyl column. Sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) solution (0.05M, pH 7.0) containing triethylamine (0.3%) and n-butanol (10%) was used as a mobile phase with 1.2 mLmin-1 flow rate and 215nm detection wavelength. Nine minutes were required for resolving the two drugs from the matrix. RESULTS The method showed good linearity for RIV and SBV with correlation coefficients (r2) more than 0.9996 within the concentration ranges of (20-400) and (40-400) ngmL-1 in pure form, (30-300) and (50-300) ngmL-1 in human plasma and (20-400) and (40-400) ngmL-1 in human urine, respectively.
