Embryonic Kidney / rein embryonnaire

Here?s an image of an embryonic kidney from a mouse (A) that has a transgene that expresses green fluorescent protein in cells of the tree-like collecting tubules that gather urine and send it down to the bladder. This mouse was generated by Frank Costantini in New York ? but we brought it to montreal to help us study the way the kidney develops. Note that the kidney on the right is small and doesn?t have as many branches ? we think that some humans have a similar problem. The image shows the power of the green fluroescent protein but also reflects the power of international collaboration in science.
Voici l?image d?un rein embryonnaire d?une souris (A) qui a un transg?ne exprimant une prot?ine fluorescente verte dans les cellules des tubules collecteurs sous forme d?arbre qui recueillent l?urine et l?envoient dans la vessie. Cette souris a ?t? g?n?r?e par Frank Costantini ? New York ? mais nous l?avons apport?e ? Montr?al pour nous aider ? ?tudier la fa?on dont le rein se d?veloppe. Remarquez que le rein ? droite est petit et n?a pas autant de branches ? nous pensons que certains humains ont un probl?me semblable. L?image illustre le pouvoir de la prot?ine fluorescente verte, mais elle refl?te aussi le pouvoir de la collaboration internationale en sciences.

NPSP helps military parents with parenting challenges and demands
By Rob McIlvaine
FMWRC Public Affairs
ALEXANDRIA, Va. ? The New Parent Support Program addresses the many concerns and challenges that military Families with children, ages 0 to 3, face during early childhood with an emphasis on Family strengths.
?The program is offered to Military Families to enhance parent and infant attachment, increase knowledge of child development, and provide connections to the support services that allow parents to become nurturing and capable caregivers,? NPSP Program Manager Rich Lopez said.
By integrating prevention education services and activities, NPSP involves both parents, if possible, and supports the Family?s adaptation to military life by enhancing knowledge and skills needed to promote healthy Family interaction, form healthy relationships, provide safe and nurturing environments for children, and enhance formal and informal support networks.
?While NPSP?s primary focus is child advocacy and maltreatment prevention through parenting education and support, NPSP helps all Families with young children by providing the skills necessary to promote healthy parenting,? Lopez said.
The NPSP services are provided by experienced, licensed clinical social workers and registered nurses who have extensive experience working with Families with young children and who are sensitive to the unique challenges facing military Families.
According to Dr. Lori Worley, NPSP & Military Child/Family Issues Program Manager., one mom?s life was saved through the interaction with her home visitor who noticed something was wrong with the pregnancy of one of the mothers in a class she was teaching.
?About two months ago, I was participating in a group of classes called ?Mommy and Daddy Boot Camp? with my husband, Sgt. Sean Sweeney at Fort Lee, Va. One morning before the next class was to begin, I woke up more swollen than normal. Elaine Sexton, RN, and our home visitor, took me aside after the class and told me to call my doctor to schedule an emergency appointment since I was showing signs of preeclampsia,? Cpl. Gretchen M. Sweeney said.
Preeclampsia is a condition of pregnancy marked by high blood pressure and excess protein in the urine after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Left untreated, it can lead to serious, even fatal, complications for both mom and baby. One of the signs, although not conclusive, is swelling in the face and hands.
?My doctor diagnosed me with preeclampsia and told me if I hadn?t gotten to him my baby and I would have both been in danger. Since then, Miss Sexton has been very attentive, often calling to check up on me and has even visited on numerous occasions to make sure everything is okay,? Sweeney said.
Spc. James Clark and his wife Kristie at Fort Campbell, Ky. joined the program because they had concerns about their son?s medical issues.
?Our son Hunter has umbilicus hernia and colic and had been crying all the time, plus I had symptoms of post-partum depression,? Kristie said.
?Our home visitor, Mary Vozar from NPSP, was great. She was able to answer all our questions, and what she couldn?t answer, she was able to point us in the right direction to get those answers,? she said.
Sgt. David Brown and his wife, Karinna, stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C, have known their home visitor Diana McNamara for 33 months.
?We heard about the New Parent Support Program while attending the infant care and parenting Classes. At the time I was feeling overwhelmed and a little depressed. Diana is always bringing a lot of good information to me at my home,? Karinna said.
Diana, Karinna said, always knows what?s needed when she visits and is very ?on-target? with helping.
?It?s made things easier by having her come to visit and helping me through some difficult times like when my brother died last year, and when my husband deployed,? Karinna said.
?She?s also helped us understand my older son?s developmental delays, and navigating through educational and developmental intervention services. Diana goes above and beyond to help my Family and I can?t express in words what she means to me,? Karinna said.
While all active Soldiers, National Guard and Reserve, and their Families within a 50-mile radius of an installation are eligible to receive these services, priority is given to first-time parents, single parents and dual military Families.
Families can enter the program by referral from a health professional, the command or by a civilian agency, or by simply requesting NPSP services through ACS.
Program activities include screening, play groups, support groups, deployment briefs, reunion and reintegration briefs and command briefs.
Classes offered by NPSP may include prenatal and infant care, home safety, children and the deployment cycle, stress management, and infant safety, to name a few.
For more information, contact the local Army Community Services or family center.

Crystals of urea formed on cooling from melted material under a coverglass. In humans urea (or uric acid) is a breakdown product of protein metabolism and is excreted in urine. Excess accumulation of uric acid can lead to a painful condition known as gout, which is the result of uric acid crystals forming in joints and capillaries.
The colours were achieved by photographing the sample between crossed polars and inverting to produce the pastel tints.
