Can involuntary outpatient commitment reduce hospital recidivism?
Outpatient commitment can work to reduce hospital readmissions and total hospital days when court orders are sustained and combined with intensive treatment, particularly for individuals with psychotic disorders. This use of outpatient commitment is not a substitute for intensive treatment; it requires a substantial commitment of treatment resources to be effective.
The results demonstrate that reactive oxygen species play a crucial role in signal transduction mediated by PC. This signaling process appears to involve NFkappaB. NFkappaB becomes translocated and activated by both ischemia/reperfusion, which induces apoptosis and PC which reduces apoptosis. However, the amount of NFkappaB binding activity is significantly higher in the PC hearts compared with ischemic reperfused hearts. The upregulation of the antioxidant gene, Bcl-2, is inversely correlated with the reduction of cardiomyocyte apoptosis associated with PC.
