RESUMEN
Since its inception in the latter part of the 20th century, the rapid expansion of helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) has been accompanied by remarkable growth in the relevant evidence base. There are many review articles describing lessons contained within the various arenas of HEMS literature, but there is little or no characterization of the numbers and types of publications comprising the HEMS-related evidence base. This study analyzed all indexed publications mentioning HEMS (with abstract included) in the United States National Library of Medicine's PubMed collection. The aims of the analysis were to provide quantitative, qualitative, and longitudinal trend information regarding the 1972 to 2017 evidence base relevant to HEMS.

The wide-ranging and significant disciplines representing allied health constitute the largest and one of the most rapidly growing health care workforces in North Carolina. With anticipated increases in patients' access to care, allied health professionals will need to call on their full scope of practice as part of a comprehensive health care team.

The fungal pathogen Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei develops on the barley leaf via distinct, morphologically well-defined stages. After landing on a host plant, the conidia rapidly germinate to form a primary germ tube. Subsequently, an appressorial germ tube emerges from the conidium and differentiates an appressorium from which penetration of the host cell wall is attempted. We have used serial analysis of gene expression to provide a measurement of messenger RNA contents in ungerminated conidia, during conidial germination, and during appressorium formation. The resulting data provide a resource for the characterization of changes in transcript accumulation during early development of B. graminis.
