Researchers at the Salk Institute were able to genetically incorporate unnatural amino acids that fluoresce into neural stem cells, allowing them to track protein activity as the stem cells differentiated into brain neurons. Scientists at Ohio State University discovered that universally conserved proteins called RfaH and NusG allow RNA polymerase to maintain its grip on DNA during gene expression. Understanding the roles of these universally conserved proteins and using unnatural amino acids could help develop new regenerative therapies and antibiotic treatments.

Sabrina Ragland, a medical assistant with 12 years’ experience.docx
Sabrina Ragland, a medical assistant with 12 years’ experience, works for a gastroenterologist,
Dr. Tim Taylor. She comes from a family heavily involved in the medical fi eld. Her father was a
surgeon and her mother was his offi ce assistant. Two of Sabrina’s sisters are nurses, and her
brother is a respiratory therapist. Her husband, Joe, is a biomedical technician, and his mother,
Elsa Ragland, has been an RN for 40 years. For more than half of her career, Elsa has worked
for a local internist, Dr. Royce Berry. A casual comment at the Ragland family picnic resulted in
a medical professional liability lawsuit based on violation of patient privacy. Sabrina and Elsa’s
careers were jeopardized by a simple exchange of what seemed to be innocent information.
Vivian Adams, a 42-year-old hospital insurance biller, saw Dr. Berry in his offi ce for pain
located in her lower left quadrant. Ms. Adams was not a new patient but had not visited the
offi ce in approximately 2 years. When she arrived for her visit, she was presented with the
offi ce privacy policy and was asked to sign the document. Vivian glanced through it, signed it,
and saw the doctor. He performed an examination and found that Vivian was likely suffering from
irritable bowel syndrome and prescribed medication. Ms. Adams called the physician 1 week later complaining that she was no better. Dr. Berry
changed her medication without seeing her and did not hear from her again, other than her requests for refi lls of the medication. After 6 months with
no improvement, Ms. Adams went to Dr. Taylor; after several diagnostic tests, she was told that she had colon cancer and was given a bleak prog-
nosis. She told Dr. Taylor that she blamed Dr. Berry for not being more thorough in his testing. Sabrina was in the room and heard the comment.
That weekend at the picnic, Sabrina mentioned Ms. Adams to her mother-in-law and stated that the patient might sue Dr. Berry, although the pa-
tient never said those words. Elsa defended Dr. Berry and proclaimed that he was a good doctor, then expressed her hope that Ms. Adams would not
sue her employer. One week later, Elsa was in a grocery store and saw Ms. Adams. Elsa immediately expressed her sympathy about her diagnosis,
and then asked if there was anything she could do. Her intent was to be kind and try to avert litigation against Dr. Berry. Her gesture might have been
well received had Ms. Adams’ daughter, Terri, not been standing with her. Terri was not yet aware that her mother had been diagnosed with cancer.
Ms. Adams had told no one about her illness at that point. After the incident at the grocery store the fi rst person Ms. Adams told was her attorney.

PHI includes health information and demographic information related to an individual's physical or mental health. PHI can be protected by removing identifiers, using statistical methods, or stripping listed identifiers such as names, dates, and social security numbers. Patients can access their own PHI and covered entities can use and disclose PHI for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations. Patients can release PHI to family and friends but must be given the opportunity to agree or object.

MERCURY GROUP.BHMS.MATERIA MEDICA.HOMOEOPATHY
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.
