Regulation of aromatic degradation in obligate anaerobes was studied in the Fe(III)-respiring model organism Geobacter metallireducens GS-15. A two-component system and a sigma54-dependent promoter were identified that are both involved in the regulation of the gene coding for benzoate-coenzyme A ligase, catalyzing the initial step of benzoate degradation.

    We investigate whether intravenous sodium nitrite administration immediately prior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction will reduce myocardial infarct size. This is a phase II, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blinded and...

  3. Three feasible strategies to minimize kidney injury in 'incipient AKI'
    Mark A Perazella and Steven G Coca

    Nat Rev Nephrol (2013) PMID 23649020

    We propose three strategies to preserve kidney function and minimize further kidney injury in patients with 'incipient AKI'. These include-when appropriate for the prevailing cause of 'incipient AKI'-use of low-chloride-containing intravenous solutions, continued use of renin-angiotensin system anta...
