Refimprove date December 2010 S phase synthesis phase is the part of the cell cycle in which DNA is DNA replication replicated , occurring between G1 phase G sub 1 sub phase and G2 phase G sub 2 sub phase . Precise and accurate DNA replication is necessary to prevent genetic abnormalities which often lead to cell death or disease. Due to the importance, the regulatory pathways that govern this event in eukaryotes are highly conserved. This conservation makes the study of S phase in model organisms such as Xenopus laevis embryos and budding yeast relevant to higher organisms. S Phase Regulation The G1 S transition is a major checkpoint in the regulation of the cell cycle . Depending on levels of nutrients, energy and external factors, cells must decide to enter the cell cycle or move into a non dividing state known as G0 phase . This transition, as with all of the major checkpoint transitions in the cell cycle, is signaled by cyclins and cyclin dependent kinase CDKs . The pulse of G1 S cyclins causes CLN3 Cdk1 to activate Cln1 2, Start point yeast as well as Clb5 6 at the initiation of S phase. This pathway contains 2 positive feedback loops, allowing for rapid, unidirectional movement into S phase. Redundant pathways like this are not uncommon because they allow for tuning the output of the system and often lead to faster genetic evolution. ref name Bell Bell, S.P. and Dutta, A.

mergefrom Acute medicine date June 2009 Wiktionary acute In medicine , an acute disease is a disease with either or both of a rapid onset, as in acute infection a short course as opposed to a Chronic medicine chronic course . This adjective is part of the definition of several diseases and is, therefore, incorporated in their name, for instance, severe acute respiratory syndrome , acute leukemia . The term acute may often be confused by the general public to mean severe . This however, is a different characteristic and something can be acute but not severe. Acute hospitals are those intended for short term medical and or surgical treatment and care. The related medical speciality is called acute medicine . Subacute is defined as between acute and chronic, for example subacute fever symptoms or subacute endocarditis . An example is subacute sclerosing panencephalitis , a rare brain disease characterized by diminished intellectual function and loss of nervous function. Chronic is the opposite of acute meaning a long term condition, for example chronic bronchitis . Chronic may also be confused by the general public to mean severe. Once again, this is a different definition medically and something can be chronic but not severe. Acute Medicine is defined as the early and specialist management of adult patients suffering from a wide range of medical conditions requiring urgent or emergency care usually within 48 hours of admission or referral from other specialties.

morerefs date May 2010 Acute care is a branch of secondary health care where necessary treatment of a disease for only a short period of time in which a patient is treated for a brief but severe episode of illness. ref http abcnews.go.com Health story?id 2558661&page 1 ref Many hospital s are acute care facilities with the goal of discharging the patient as soon as the patient is deemed healthy and stable, with appropriate discharge instructions. The term is generally associated with care rendered in an emergency department, ambulatory care clinic, or other short term stay facility. An important aspect of the current health care crisis in the US is the result of the growing need for acute care despite a decrease in the number of facilities which provide that care. This mismatch has resulted from the dramatic increase in the number of patients who are uninsured or underinsured, and therefore unable to pay for services rendered. Those patients often turn to emergency departments for their primary care needs. That has resulted in overcrowding and made it increasingly difficult to focus adequate resources on those patients who present with true emergencies.
