Integrating structural information with site-directed mutagenesis allowed us to identify features unique to each enzyme and provide mechanistic insight. In the epimerases, mutagenesis of H67, D173, N121, Y134 and Y132 suggested the presence of alternative catalytic residues. We showed that the reductases could reduce GDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-mannulose without prior epimerization though DdahC preferred the pre-epimerized substrate, and identified T110 and H180 as important for substrate specificity and catalytic efficacy. This information can be exploited to identify inhibitors for therapeutic applications or to tailor these enzymes to synthesise novel sugars useful as glycobiology tools. To portray physician office visits by young Americans with chronic musculoskeletal pain; to describe clinical management in this group; and to explore factors associated with prescribed treatments. Using nationally representative data of ambulatory physician office visits (2007-2015 United States National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey), we identified and cross-sectionally analyzed visits by persons <25years of age diagnosed with a chronic musculoskeletal pain condition. There were 28.6 million visits over the 9-year period for chronic musculoskeletal pain for persons <25years of age, (average 3.2 million visits/year). There were more visits among older age groups, female persons, non-Hispanic White ethnicity/race, and those with more medical visits in the past year. Nonopioid medications were the most frequent treatments in all age groups (range 38.5%-48.8%). Opioids were rarely prescribed for children and adolescents but were prescribed in 23% of visits among young adults (18-24years of age). Health education and counseling were consistently prescribed at 20% of visits and physical therapy (range 9.5%-23.7%) and other treatments were less frequently prescribed. Age, sex, payment source, and physician specialty were associated with various treatments. There were over 3 million annual visits for chronic musculoskeletal pain in young Americans; these increased with age. Pharmacologic treatment is used more than nonpharmacologic approaches, and opioid prescribing in the 18- to 24-year-old age group approaches estimates in adults with musculoskeletal pain.

To compare the impact of different formulas on the occurrence of other atopic manifestations and the time of immune tolerance acquisition. In a 36-month prospective cohort study, the occurrence of other atopic manifestations (eczema, urticaria, asthma, and rhinoconjunctivitis) and the time of immune tolerance acquisition were comparatively evaluated in immunoglobulin E-mediated children with cow's milk allergy (CMA) treated with extensively hydrolyzed casein formula containing the probiotic L. rhamnosus GG (EHCF+LGG), rice hydrolyzed formula, soy formula, extensively hydrolyzed whey formula (EHWF), or amino acid-based formula. In total, 365 subjects were enrolled into the study, 73 per formula cohort. The incidence of atopic manifestations was 0.22 (Bonferroni-corrected 95% CI 0.09-0.34) in the EHCF+LGG cohort; 0.52 (0.37-0.67) in the rice hydrolyzed formula cohort; 0.58 (0.43-0.72) in the soy formula cohort; 0.51 (0.36-0.66) in the EHWF cohort; and 0.77 (0.64-0.89) in the amino acid-based formula cohort. The incidence of atopic manifestations in the rice hydrolyzed formula, soy formula, EHWF, and amino acid-based formula cohorts vs the EHCF+LGG cohort was always greater than the prespecified absolute difference of 0.25 at an alpha-level of 0.0125, with corresponding risk ratios of 2.37 (1.46-3.8
