This hospital-based, consultant-led model of maternity care in Ireland has been described as 'highly medicalised' [ 2] typified by the use of various forms of 'active management of labour' (AML) in most of the 20 maternity units in Ireland.
In our opinion, however, active ageing cannot be reduced to the sum of its indicators as various forms of activity are not necessarily complementary (e.g. possible tension between work and care responsibilities).
We show that Munc13, an active-zone protein essential for exocytosis, also controls presynaptic voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) function dictating their behavior during various forms of activity.
In end-of-life care, techniques typically encompass relaxation or imaginative interventions (receptive), the therapeutic use of songs (active or receptive), and various forms of improvisation (active).
Based on our prior studies of the regulation of miR-210 in pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAECs) (Chan et al, 2009) and the up-regulation of both HIF-1α and HIF-2α in vascular endothelial cells in hypoxia-relevant PH in mice (Supplementary Fig S1), we hypothesized that the miR-210-ISCU1/2 axis is active in various forms of PH stemming from hypoxia-dependent or HIF-dependent activity.
Many pyrimidine derivatives were reported to be active against various forms of cancer.
Anthropologists have studied political organization and norms in hunter-gatherers and other isolated cultures, while neurophysiologists have engaged new imaging technologies to identify areas of the brain active in various forms of moral thinking.
Third, both enzymes are active against various forms of DNA including linear, supercoiled and bacterially methylated DNA (neither site contains a methylation sequence).
These specialized molecular devices provide the machinery to intimately couple active transport to various forms of cellular energy; light or the energy released by chemical reactions (mainly ATP hydrolysis) is utilized by primary active transporters, while the chemical gradients of other species are exploited by secondary active transporters.
In the case of LSC, the background reduction features include enhanced passive shielding, anticoincidence (active) shielding, and various forms of pulse-shape analysis.
