    There is a concern about having enough healthcare providers in the next 30 years due to changing demographics and rapid population growth in Southwest Florida. The study objective is to determine the health care needs of Southwest Florida and the type of health care providers required, and then how to best provide educational programs to ensure there are the professionals in future years to meet the needs. The research will explore how the educational system as a critical component in the preparation of the region\u27s workforce can proactively address the anticipated programmatic gaps in achieving the projected needs of the community. Health care and education nationally and within the state of Florida are evolving and moving in new directions. It is important to explore how education and health care needs will intersect to meet the needs of a future population. The study is focused on Southwest Florida; however, the research addresses the national economic trends of health care since the migration of workers from state to state influences the local economy

    Distinct Regions of the Large Extracellular Domain of Tetraspanin CD9 Are Involved in the Control of Human Multinucleated Giant Cell Formation

    Multinucleated giant cells, formed by the fusion of monocytes/macrophages, are features of chronic granulomatous inflammation associated with infections or the persistent presence of foreign material. The tetraspanins CD9 and CD81 regulate multinucleated giant cell formation: soluble recombinant proteins corresponding to the large extracellular domain (EC2) of human but not mouse CD9 can inhibit multinucleated giant cell formation, whereas human CD81 EC2 can antagonise this effect. Tetraspanin EC2 are all likely to have a conserved three helix sub-domain and a much less well-conserved or hypervariable sub-domain formed by short helices and interconnecting loops stabilised by two or more disulfide bridges. Using CD9/CD81 EC2 chimeras and point mutants we have mapped the specific regions of the CD9 EC2 involved in multinucleated giant cell formation. These were primarily located in two helices, one in each sub-domain. The cysteine residues involved in the formation of the disulfide bridges in CD9 EC2 were all essential for inhibitory activity but a conserved glycine residue in the tetraspanin-defining ‘CCG’ motif was not. A tyrosine residue in one of the active regions that is not conserved between human and mouse CD9 EC2, predicted to be solvent-exposed, was found to be only peripherally involved in this activity. We have defined two spatially-distinct sites on the CD9 EC2 that are required for inhibitory activity. Agents that target these sites could have therapeutic applications in diseases in which multinucleated giant cells play a pathogenic role

    Contiene un libro de lectura para los niños y un cuaderno de notas para el profesor. Tanto las actividades de matemáticas cómo las de lectura y escritura se adaptan a las recomendaciones de la Estrategia nacional de alfabetización infantil (National Literacy Strategy) y a las de la Estrategia nacional de aritmética (National Numeracy Strategy). Las ideas sugeridas en estas actividades se desarrollan a partir de los temas, la estructura y el lenguaje del libro de lectura, aunque se pueden cambiar, adaptar y completar, siempre que los niños estén familiarizados con la historia. En ella se trata de saber a que otra miembro de su familia se parece el pequeño Sam.SCBiblioteca de Educación del Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte; Calle San Agustín, 5 - 3 planta; 28014 Madrid; Tel. +34917748000; [email protected]
