Secretory Protein In Upper Respiratory Tracts
Palate, lung, and nasal epithelium clone protein (PLUNC) is a gene encoding a secretory protein. It is also called Secretory protein in upper respiratory tracts (SPURT). In humans, it is encoded by the ''BPIFA1'' (Bactericidal/permeability-increasing fold-containing family A1) gene, previously called ''PLUNC''. Function This gene is the human homolog of murine plunc, and like the mouse gene, is specifically expressed in the airways and nasopharyngeal regions. Plunc inhibits the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), and also has anti-microbial functions.6 As such, plunc is believed to play a role in innate immune defense in the airways. PLUNC's ability to regulate ENaC is pH-sensitive and fails in acidic cystic fibrosis Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare genetic disorder that affects mostly the lungs, but also the pancreas, liver, kidneys, and intestine. Long-term issues include difficulty breathing and coughing up mucus as a result of frequent lung infections. O ... airway ...

Spurt (Dutch Railways)
Spurt () is a trade name used by Arriva Netherlands for most of the Stadler GTW trains operated in that country. The current Arriva fleet includes both 2-car (GTW 2/6) and 3-car (GTW 2/8) variants and both Electric and Diesel powered examples. Eight of the units are equipped for operation through to Leer in Germany. Accidents and incidents : *On 23 February 2016, a Spurt train was involved in a collision with a crane on a level crossing at , Overijssel and was derailed. One person was killed and six were injured. *On 19 November 2016, a Spurt train was involved in a collision with a milk lorry on a level crossing at , Groningen and was derailed. Eighteen people were injured, three seriously. * On 27 March 2017, a Spurt train was involved in a collision with a car on a level crossing at , Friesland, two people were killed. Models A model of the Arriva Spurt liveried GTW 2/6 (Diesel Version) in HO Scale (1:87) has recently (Dec 2011) been produced by German model manufact ...

Blood Spurt
Blood squirt (blood spurt, blood spray, blood gush, or blood jet) is the effect when an artery is ruptured. Blood pressure causes the blood to bleed out at a rapid, intermittent rate in a spray or jet, coinciding with the pulse, rather than the slower, but steady flow of venous bleeding. Also known as arterial bleeding, arterial spurting, or arterial gushing, the amount of blood loss can be copious, occur very rapidly, and can led to death by a process called exsanguination. Anatomy In cut carotid arteries with 100 mL of blood through the heart at each beat (at 65 beats a minute), a completely severed artery will spurt blood for about 30 seconds and the blood will not spurt much higher than the human head. If the artery is just nicked, on the other hand, the blood will spurt longer but will be coming out under pressure and spraying much farther. To prevent hand ischemia, there is a "squirt test" that involves squirting blood from the radial artery, which is used in intraoperativ ...

Growth Spurt
Human height or stature is the distance from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head in a human body, standing erect. It is measured using a stadiometer, in centimetres when using the metric system or SI system, or feet and inches when using United States customary units or the imperial system. In the early phase of anthropometric research history, questions about height techniques for measuring nutritional status often concerned genetic differences. Height is also important because it is closely correlated with other health components, such as life expectancy. Studies show that there is a correlation between small stature and a longer life expectancy. Individuals of small stature are also more likely to have lower blood pressure and are less likely to acquire cancer. The University of Hawaii has found that the "longevity gene" FOXO3 that reduces the effects of aging is more commonly found in individuals of small body size. Short stature decreases the risk of venous in ...

Strength Spurt
Puberty is the process of physical changes through which a child's body matures into an adult body capable of sexual reproduction. It is initiated by hormonal signals from the brain to the gonads: the ovaries in a girl, the testes in a boy. In response to the signals, the gonads produce hormones that stimulate libido and the growth, function, and transformation of the brain, bones, muscle, blood, skin, hair, breasts, and sex organs. Physical growth—height and weight—accelerates in the first half of puberty and is completed when an adult body has been developed. Before puberty, the external sex organs, known as primary sexual characteristics, are sex characteristics that distinguish boys and girls. Puberty leads to sexual dimorphism through the development of the secondary sex characteristics, which further distinguish the sexes. On average, girls begin puberty at ages 10–11 and complete puberty at ages 15–17; boys generally begin puberty at ages 11–12 and complete ...
