TL;DR: It is proposed that (954)YLVI works in concert with at least two additional regions within the EGF receptor cytoplasmic domain that are essential for efficiently targeting ligand-receptor complexes to the lysosome.
Abstract: On binding to its receptor, epidermal growth factor (EGF) initiates a cascade of events leading to cell proliferation or differentiation. In addition, the EGF receptor itself is downregulated to at...

TL;DR: It is postulate that improving DME licensing and claims reimbursement will impact medication compliance, as well as asthma morbidity and mortality.
Abstract: Asthma morbidity and mortality have increased at alarming rates. Morbidity is significantly higher among minorities and low-income populations. The purpose of this study was to survey pharmacies licensed to provide both asthma medications and durable medical equipment (DME) to evaluate their acceptance of Medicaid as payment for spacers and peak flow meters in patients with Medicaid. Twenty-four pharmacies were identified and completed a telephone survey. Only 64% of the pharmacies licensed to accept Medicaid for DME provide this service. We postulate that improving DME licensing and claims reimbursement will impact medication compliance, as well as asthma morbidity and mortality.

TL;DR: To increase awareness about the patient with anegative skin test response and insect sting allergy and to determine the frequency and significance of negative skin test responses in patients with a history of systemic reactions to insect stings, Venom skin testing, serologic IgE venom testing, and Insect sting challenges were conducted.
Abstract: Purpose of the Study. To increase awareness about the patient with a negative skin test response and insect sting allergy and to determine the frequency and significance of negative skin test responses in patients with a history of systemic reactions to insect stings.
Study Population. Subjects were recruited for insect sting challenge study using advertisements. Subjects with a history consistent with a systemic immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergy to insects were evaluated.
Methods. Venom skin testing, serologic IgE venom testing, and insect sting challenges were conducted. Intradermal skin testing to venom extracts (ALK-Abello Labs, Copenhagen, Denmark) was conducted in a range from 0.001 μg/mL to 1.0 μg/mL. Venom-specific serum IgE was detected using radioallergosorbent testing (RAST) (on-site assay using precommercial …
