Integrative multi-omic analyses identify novel biomarkers for recurrent stroke in participants from the Vitamin Intervention for Stroke Prevention (VISP) clinical trial
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-01)
Background: Recurrent strokes are deadlier and more disabling than primary strokes and over 185,000 individuals in the US suffer a recurrent event each year. Current diagnostic and at-risk identification tools are inadequate ...
The effects of climate variability on the timing of ichthyoplankton ingress through Beaufort Inlet, NC, USA
(East Carolina University, 2019-04-30)
Climate change has shifted the timing of seasons in many ecosystems worldwide. Species are responding to these shifting seasons with shifts of their own, both in space via migrations and in time via phenology. However, ...
Nutrient contributions from septic systems in nutrient-sensitive watersheds: Quantifying nutrient inputs, reduction methods, and economic feasibility
(East Carolina University, 2019-04-30)
Eutrophication of surface waters is a global issue threatening aquatic ecosystems and recreational opportunities. Nutrient management strategies exist to reduce nutrient inputs from various sources; however, septic systems ...
A Candidate Gene Study: Finding Associations between Recurrent Stroke and Genetic Variants of Five Folate-Mediated One Carbon Metabolism Pathway Genes
(East Carolina University, 2019-04-25)
Stroke is the second leading cause of death in the world and fifth in the United States. Both in the United States and worldwide, stroke is the leading cause of disability. Stroke is a cerebrovascular event which results ...
TEMPERATURE, RESOURCE INPUT, AND STANDING GENETIC VARIATION AFFECT PREDATOR RESPONSES OF PHYSA ACUTA
(East Carolina University, 2019-04-26)
In urban areas, features such as high percentages of impervious ground cover, patchiness, and storm water runoff can lead to increases in temperature and external nutrient input into aquatic systems. Such factors can lead ...
The CDF-type metal efflux protein EmfA is essential for Brucella abortus 2308 resistance to manganese toxicity and is a critical virulence determinant in experimentally-infected mice
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-13)
Divalent cationic metals are important trace nutrients for all bacteria because metals serve as cofactors for proteins involved in numerous cellular functions. Despite the fact that metals play an essential role in bacterial ...
Insecticides Alter the Ability of Predator Assemblages to Suppress Prey
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-01)
Agrochemicals are often deposited into freshwater bodies via rainfall and snowmelt events and can have consequences for populations and communities. Insecticides in aquatic systems can cause mortality, behavioral, and ...
