Mutations in PROSC Disrupt Cellular Pyridoxal Phosphate Homeostasis and Cause Vitamin-B6-Dependent Epilepsy [PDF]
Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the active form of vitamin B6, functions as a cofactor in humans for more than 140 enzymes, many of which are involved in neurotransmitter synthesis and degradation. A deficiency of PLP can present, therefore, as seizures and other symptoms that are treatable with PLP and/or pyridoxine.

Insight into vitamin B6-dependent epilepsy due toPLPBP(previouslyPROSC) missense mutations [PDF]
Vitamin B6 -dependent genetic epilepsy was recently associated to mutations in PLPBP (previously PROSC), the human version of the widespread COG0325 gene that encodes TIM-barrel-like pyridoxal phosphate (PLP)-containing proteins of unclear function.

Cloning and Characterization of Human and Mouse PROSC (Proline Synthetase Co-Transcribed) Genes [PDF]
Large-scale DNA sequencing, coupled with in silico gene trapping, is a robust approach to identifying unknown genes in selected genomic regions. Using this approach we have isolated a novel human gene, PROSC (for proline synthetase co-transcribed [bacterial homolog]), from human chromosome 8p11.2, and its mouse counterpart. The human PROSC gene spanned

We examined the PCR differential display analysis of cDNA clones from human leukemia K562 cell line and those of cytosine arabinoside (ara-C) resistant K562 cells. We compared mRNA samples obtained from the two cell lines by amplified restriction fragment length polymorphism (AFLP)-based mRNA fingerprinting; 40 bands were observed in each lane of a gel,

A new approach to OSCE preparation - PrOSCEs [PDF]
Objectively structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) are a stressful experience for many health care students and professionals in training. Mock OSCEs have been shown to be beneficial for student OSCE preparation. However, due to their expense and administrative burden students may only get a few opportunities to partake in these.

Procedural Sedation in the Community Emergency Department: Initial Results of the ProSCED Registry [PDF]
Abstract Objectives Procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) has been well profiled in experimental studies in university emergency departments. Extrapolation of these practices into the community hospital setting is not well established. This report describes community hospital
