Do endogenous glucocorticoids decrease the acinar cell sensitivity to apoptosis during cerulein pancreatitis in rats?
These results provide evidence that endogenous glucocorticoids are an important factor for acinar cell survival. Endogenous glucocorticoids may protect acinar cells by decreasing their sensitivity to the induction of cell death during acute pancreatitis.
RN assessed excellent patient safety and quality of care are related to significant reductions in odds of 30-day inpatient mortality, suggesting that positive RN reports of quality and safety can be valid indicators of these key variables.
