Lipid droplets as ubiquitous fat storage organelles in C. elegans

Zhang, Shaobing O; Trimble, Rhonda; Guo, Fengli; Mak, Ho Yi (2010-12-08)

Abstract Background Lipid droplets are a class of eukaryotic cell organelles for storage of neutral fat such as triacylglycerol (TAG) and cholesterol ester (CE). We and others have recently reported that lysosome-related ...
An in vitro study comparing a peripherally inserted central catheter to a conventional central venous catheter: no difference in static and dynamic pressure transmission

Latham, Heath E; Dwyer, Timothy T; Gregg, Bethene L; Simpson, Steven Q (2010-10-12)

Abstract Background Early goal directed therapy improves survival in patients with septic shock. Central venous pressure (CVP) monitoring is essential to guide adequate resuscitation. Use of peripherally inserted central ...
