- Redox Reactions in Antigen Processing
-
- - Peter Cresswell, Ph.D., Yale University School of Medicine (2010/03/04)
- - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
- The NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series includes weekly scientific talks by some of the top researchers in the biomedical sciences worldwide.
Topics include the function of a gamma interferon inducible lysosomal enzyme (GILT) which reduces disulfide bonds in proteins. Its localization in class II-positive intracellular compartments in APCs suggested a role in antigen processing, and the enzymatic activity suggested that responses to antigens containing disulfide bonds might be affected. This was confirmed by analysis of GILT knock-out mice, which have clear deficiencies in generating CD4 T cell responses to such antigens.

- AED Monotherapy Workshop Day 1
-
- - (2010/03/04)
- - Category : Conferences
- Over the past decade there have been 8 new drugs approved for the treatment of epilepsy. Most of these have been approved initially as adjunctive therapy in highly refractory patients with partial seizures. Only two (felbamate and oxcarbazebine) received an indication for use as monotherapy at the time of approval. Subsequently, a third (lamotrigine) has received an indication for withdrawal to monotherapy in refractory patients.
The use of antiepileptic drugs in monotherapy is supported by data from numerous clinical studies. Refractory patients treated with two or more drugs have better seizure control and fewer side effects when converted to monotherapy. Conversely, when newly diagnosed or refractory patients go from monotherapy to polytherapy, only a small percentage have a substantial reduction in seizures, and most have an increase in side effects.

- - Category : Work/Life Center
- Many people talk about organizing, but certain hindrances keep them from doing it: not enough time, not enough energy, ever-increasing volumes of paper, ever-increasing work/life responsibilities, uncertainty about how to begin, fear of wastebasketry, and on and on.
This seminar takes a holistic approach to helping participants establish order out of chaos. It focuses on the mental and physical steps necessary to create systems that work.
The NIH Work and Family Life Center (WFLC), in conjunction with the Employee Assistance Program, is pleased to announce the fourth annual "Faces and Phases of Life" seminar series. This successful series brings expert speakers to campus to address a broad range of quality of work and quality of life issues.

- Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for Diagnosis and Therapy (Day 2)
-

- - Category : Conferences
- ERCP is a procedure used by physicians to diagnose and treat problems in the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas. It combines the use of x-rays and an endoscope--a long, flexible, lighted tube. The physician inserts the endoscope in a patient's mouth and guides it down through the esophagus and into the stomach and small intestine. ERCP allows the physician to look inside these organs and also to send dye to the bile and pancreatic ducts, thereby making them visible on an x-ray.

- Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee (RAC) Day 1
-
- - Office of Biotechnology Activities (2010/03/04)
- - Category : Advisory Boards
- The RAC is a technical committee whose goal is to consider the current state of knowledge and technology regarding recombinant DNA. This includes review of human gene transfer trials, and an assessment of the ability of DNA recombinants to survive in nature and the potential for transfer of genetic material to other organisms. It also considers hypothetical hazards and methods for monitoring and minimizing risks. Approximately one-third of the 15 members do not have scientific expertise but represent public interests and attitudes. This balance is intended to provide a forum for open public debate of social and scientific issues attendant to recombinant DNA research. The RAC has been overwhelmingly successful in achieving this goal.
