Risk factors associated with physical and mental distress in people who report a COPD diagnosis: latent class analysis of 2016 behavioral risk factor surveillance system data
(2019-04-10)Introduction: Challenges associated with COPD increase patients’ risk of physical immobility and emotional distress, perpetuating a cycle of symptomatic living that hinders patients’ self-management and adherence to a ... -
Risk Factors for Stunting in Children under the Age of 5 in Rural Guatemalan Highlands
(2020-02-03)Background: Previously, a study conducted by UNICEF found that malnutrition affects approximately 80% of the indigenous children in Guatemala. Objective: Identify prevalence and risk factors for stunted growth in ... -
Risk-adapted targeted intraoperative radiotherapy versus whole-breast radiotherapy for breast cancer:5-year results for local control and overall survival from the TARGIT-A randomised trial
(2014-02-14)The TARGIT-A trial compared risk-adapted radiotherapy using single-dose targeted intraoperative radiotherapy (TARGIT) versus fractionated external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for breast cancer. We report 5-year results for ... -
Rituximab therapy in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis improves alveolar macrophage lipid homeostasis
(2012-06-14)Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (PAP) patients exhibit an acquired deficiency of biologically active granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) attributable to GM-CSF specific autoantibodies. PAP alveolar ... -
The role of fishing material culture in communities’ sense of place as an added-value in management of coastal areas
(2016)Fishing communities in many places around the world are facing significant challenges due to new policies and environmental developments. While it is imperative to ensure sustainability of natural resources, many policies ... -
The role of PPARγ in carbon nanotube-elicited granulomatous lung inflammation
(2013-01-23)Background Although granulomatous inflammation is a central feature of many disease processes, cellular mechanisms of granuloma formation and persistence are poorly understood. Carbon nanoparticles, which can be products ... -
The Role of Retinoic Acid (RA) in Spermatogonial Differentiation
(2016)Retinoic acid (RA) directs the sequential, but distinct, programs of spermatogonial differentiation and meiotic differentiation that are both essential for the generation of functional spermatozoa. These processes are ... -
Roles of GSK-3 and microRNAs on epithelial mesenchymal transition and cancer stem cells
(2017-02)Various signaling pathways exert critical roles in the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer stem cells (CSCs). The Wnt/beta-catenin, PI3K/PTEN/ Akt/mTORC, Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK, hedgehog (Hh), Notch and TP53 ... -
Roles of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in human cancer
(2014-02-01)Cancer remains one of the major cause of death in the Western world. Although, it has been demonstrated that new therapies can improve the outcome of cancer patients, still many patients relapse after treatment. Therefore, ... -
Rooftop Gardens and Solar Energy
(2016-04)Green roofs are a form of green architecture used to provide a natural insulation for a residential or commercial building. The green roof replaces the traditional roofing shingles. The roof is composed of soil and vegetation. ... -
Root parasitic plant Orobanche aegyptiaca and shoot parasitic plant Cuscuta australis obtained Brassicaceae-specific strictosidine synthase-like genes by horizontal gene transfer
(2014)Background Besides gene duplication and de novo gene generation, horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is another important way of acquiring new genes. HGT may endow the recipients with novel phenotypic traits that are important ... -
Route activity tracking and management using available technology
(2012)Small organizations that maintain their own fleet and make their own deliveries are responsible for ensuring their drivers are utilizing the most efficient routes while delivering products to their customers. Furthermore, ... -
Sarcoidosis activates diverse transcriptional programs in bronchoalveolar lavage cells
(2016-07)Background: Sarcoidosis is a multisystem immuno-inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology that most commonly involves the lungs. We hypothesized that an unbiased approach to identify pathways activated in bronchoalveolar ... -
The scale and evolutionary significance of horizontal gene transfer in the choanoflagellate Monosiga brevicollis
(2013-10)It is generally agreed that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is common in phagotrophic protists. However, the overall scale of HGT and the cumulative impact of acquired genes on the evolution of these organisms remain largely ... -
Scholarly publishing depends on peer reviewers
(2018-03-29)The peer-review crisis is posing a risk to the scholarly peer-reviewed journal system. Journals have to ask many potential peer reviewers to obtain a minimum acceptable number of peers accepting reviewing a manuscript. ... -
Sclerosing Mesenteritis: A Rare Cause of Small Bowel Obstruction
(2016)Sclerosing mesenteritis falls within a spectrum of primary idiopathic inflammatory and fibrotic processes that affect the mesentery. The exact etiology has not been determined, although the following associations have ... -

Screening of biocatalysts for synthesis of the Wieland-Miescher ketone.
(2020-09-16)Lipases, a versatile class of biocatalysts, have been shown to function in non-aqueous media/organic solvents and to possess “promiscuous” catalytic activity for a wide range of organic transformations. In this study, we ... -
Seasonal Changes of Extremes in Isolated and Mesoscale Precipitation for the Southeastern United States
(2018-08-09)The association between instantaneous extreme precipitation and mesoscale organization over the southeastern United States is not well known. This study addresses whether isolated precipitation features have a distinct ...
