(2013-09-23)Objective: This study examined recent trends of preventive dental care utilization among Americans aged 50 and above, focusing on variations across racial and ethnic groups including Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, American ... -
Racial and Gender Diversity Among Students and Faculty in EHAC-Accredited Environmental Health Sciences Programs: Trend Analysis from 2009 to 2021
(2022-07-22)Diversity in the environmental health sciences (EHS) workforce is crucial in providing culturally sensitive services to diverse communities. This may be influenced by academic faculty training a diverse student body in the ... -
Racial differences in survival among hemodialysis patients after coronary artery bypass grafting
(2013-09-06)The aim of this study was to examine racial differences in long-term survival among hemodialysis patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). To our knowledge this has not been previously addressed in the literature. ... -
Racial disparities in healthcare provider advice to quit smoking
(2018-03-13)African-American/Black smokers are less likely than White smokers to be told to quit smoking by healthcare providers. This preliminary study examined the predictors of being told to quit separately by race for the first ... -
Raman Characterizations of Red Blood Cells With β-Thalassemia Using Laser Tweezers Raman Spectroscopy
(2018-09-06)This study aimed to study the differences in Raman spectra of red blood cells (RBCs) among patients with β-thalassemia and controls using laser tweezers Raman spectroscopy (LTRS) system.A total of 33 patients with β-thalassemia ... -
Range expansion of a fouling species indirectly impacts local species interactions
(2017-10-19)We investigated how recent changes in the distribution and abundance of a fouling organism affected the strength of interactions between a commercially important foundation species and a common predator. Increases in the ... -
A rapid assessment of co-benefits and trade-offs among Sustainable Development Goals
(2017-06-15)Achieving the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) results in many ecological, social, and economic consequences that are inter-related. Understanding relationships between sustainability goals ... -
Rapid development of Purkinje cell excitability, functional cerebellar circuit, and afferent sensory input to cerebellum in zebrafish
(2014-12-19)The zebrafish has significant advantages for studying the morphological development of the brain. However, little is known about the functional development of the zebrafish brain. We used patch clamp electrophysiology in ... -
Rapid Evolution of Manifold CRISPR Systems for Plant Genome Editing
(2016-11-14)Advanced CRISPR-Cas9 based technologies first validated in mammalian cell systems are quickly being adapted for use in plants. These new technologies increase CRISPR-Cas9’s utility and effectiveness by diversifying ... -
Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK and PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mTOR cascade inhibitors: How mutations can result in therapy resistance and how to overcome resistance
(2012-10-20)The Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK and PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mTOR cascades are often activated by genetic alterations in upstream signaling molecules such as receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK). Targeting these pathways is often complex and can ... -
Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK and PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mTOR inhibitors: Rationale and importance to inhibiting these pathways in human health
(2011-03-11)The Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK and PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mTOR cascades are often activated by genetic alterations in upstream signaling molecules such as receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK). Integral components of these pathways, Ras, B-Raf, ... -
Re-analyses of “Algal” Genes Suggest a Complex Evolutionary History of Oomycetes
(2017-09-06)The spread of photosynthesis is one of the most important but constantly debated topics in eukaryotic evolution. Various hypotheses have been proposed to explain the plastid distribution in extant eukaryotes. Notably, the ... -
Re-examining the premise of isobaric collisions and a novel method to measure the chiral magnetic effect
(2019-01-22)In these proceedings we show that the premise of the isobaric and collisions to search for the chiral magnetic effect (CME) may not hold as originally anticipated due to large uncertainties in the isobaric nuclear ... -
Real earnings management activities prior to bondissuance
(2017-06-01)We examine real activities manipulation by firms prior to their debt issuances andhow such manipulation activities affect bond yield spreads. We find that bond-issuing firmsincrease their real activities manipulation in ... -
Real-time compression feedback for patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest: a multi-center randomized controlled clinical trial
(2019-01-03)Objective: To determine if real-time compression feedback using a non-automated hand-held device improves patient outcomes from in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). Methods: We conducted a prospective, randomized, controlled, ... -
Realistic optical cell modeling and diffraction imaging simulation for study of optical and morphological parameters of nucleus
(2016-01)Coherent light scattering presents complex spatial patterns that depend on morphological and molecular features of biological cells. We present a numerical approach to establish realistic optical cell models for generating ... -
Recent introductions reveal differential susceptibility to parasitism across an evolutionary mosaic
(2019-08-14)Parasitism can represent a potent agent of selection, and introduced parasites have the potential to substantially alter their new hosts' ecology and evolution. While sig‐ nificant impacts have been reported for parasites ... -
Recent progress in genetics of aging, senescence and longevity: Focusing on cancer-related genes
(2012-12-30)It is widely believed that aging results from the accumulation of molecular damage, including damage of DNA and mitochondria and accumulation of molecular garbage both inside and outside of the cell. Recently, this paradigm ... -
