Cardiac amyloidosis: A case report and review of literature
(2019-03-26)BACKGROUND Cardiac amyloidosis, a disease caused by the precipitation of amyloid proteins in the myocardial extracellular matrix has been historically difficult to diagnose due to lack of specific clinical manifestations ... -
Cardiovascular disease-related miRNAs expression: potential role as biomarkers and effects of training exercise
(2018-03-30)Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the most important causes of mortality worldwide, therefore the need of effective preventive strategies is imperative. Aging is associated with significant changes in both ... -
A case control study of environmental and occupational exposures associated with methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage in patients admitted to a rural tertiary care hospital in a high density swine region
(2014)Background: Distinct strains of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have been identified on livestock and livestock workers. Industrial food animal production may be an important environmental reservoir for ... -
A case of pulmonary hemorrhage and renal failure
(2012-12-14)Background: Alveolar hemorrhage can be seen in many vasculitic disorders. However, granulomatosis polyangiitis (formerly Wegener’s granulomatosis) uncommonly presents with life threatening alveolar hemorrhage and has only ... -
Case report of atypical Still's disease: a diagnosis of exclusion
(2016)Introduction: We present an unusual presentation of a 39-year-old man with myalgias and shortness of breath. Chief complaints: The patient presented to the emergency department with complaints of myalgias, shortness of ... -
Casimir Pistons with General Boundary Conditions
(2015)In this work we analyze the Casimir energy and force for a scalar field endowed with general self-adjoint boundary conditions propagating in a higher dimensional piston configuration. The piston is constructed as a direct ... -
Caspase-3 dependent nitrergic neuronal apoptosis following cavernous nerve injury is mediated via RhoA and ROCK activation in major pelvic ganglion
(2016-07-08)Axonal injury due to prostatectomy leads to Wallerian degeneration of the cavernous nerve (CN) and erectile dysfunction (ED). Return of potency is dependent on axonal regeneration and reinnervation of the penis. Following ... -
CCL2-CCR2 axis promotes metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma by activating ERK1/2-MMP2/9 pathway
(2016-03-29)Distant metastasis remains the major failure of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). In this study, the roles of chemokine C-C motif ligand 2 (CCL2), and its receptor chemokine C-C motif receptor type 2 (CCR2) on NPC metastasis ... -
Cell-Specific “Competition for Calories” Drives Asymmetric Nutrient-Energy Partitioning, Obesity, and Metabolic Diseases in Human and Non-human Animals
(2018-08-10)The mammalian body is a complex physiologic “ecosystem” in which cells compete for calories (i.e., nutrient-energy). Axiomatically, cell-types with competitive advantages acquire a greater number of consumed calories, ... -

Central Santa Catarina coastal dunefields chronology and their relation to relative sea level and climatic changes
(2015)During the past decades, there have been contrarian explanations for the formation and stabilization of coastal dunefields: while many authors believe the dunes formation would be enhanced by falling sea level, others argue ... -
Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Increases Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Levels by An Indomethacin-Sensitive Mechanism
(1998-01-01)In anesthetized piglets, endothelial and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (eNOS and nNOS, respectively) levels were investigated after global cerebral ischemia. Increased intracranial pressure was used to produce 5 or 10 ... -
Cerebrovascular Reactivity Remains Intact after Cortical Depolarization in Newborn Piglets
(1999-01-01)Cerebrovascular reactivity is severely affected by ischemia, and changes in vascular responses have been reported after cortical spreading depression and head trauma as well. Cortical depolarization (CD) occurs during ... -
Challenges and Instructor Strategies for Transitioning to Online Learning During and After the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Review of Literature
(2023-09-13)The COVID-19 pandemic triggered an unprecedented shift to online learning, significantly impacting the higher education landscape. This paper examines the challenges faced by faculty and students during the rapid transition ... -
Challenges to adaptation: a fundamental concept for the shared socio-economic pathways and beyond
(2014)The framework for the new scenarios being developed for climate research calls for the development of a set of Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), which are meant to differ in terms of their challenges to mitigation ... -
Changes in zooplankton community, and seston and zooplankton fatty acid profiles at the freshwater/saltwater interface of the Chowan River, North Carolina
(2017-08-16)The variability in zooplankton fatty acid composition may be an indicator of larval fish habitat quality as fatty acids are linked to fish larval growth and survival. We sampled an anadromous fish nursery, the Chowan River, ... -
Characterization and Expression of the Nuclear Progestin Receptor in Zebrafish Gonads and Brain
(2010-01-01)The zebrafish nuclear progestin receptor (nPR; official symbol PGR) was identified and characterized to better understand its role in regulating reproduction in this well-established teleost model. A full-length cDNA was ... -
Characterization of a Low Affinity Thyroid Hormone Receptor Binding Site within the Rat GLUT4 Gene Promoter
(1997-03)Previous studies have demonstrated that thyroid hormone (T3) stimulates insulin-responsive glucose transporter (GLUT4) transcription and protein expression in rat skeletal muscle. The aim of the present study was to define ... -
Characterization of Damping Properties in 3D Printed Structures
(2018-12-01)Current research on the effectiveness of a subordinate oscillator array (SOA) as a broadband mechanical filter relies on adequate knowledge of the SOAs material properties. Recent studies have shown a high sensitivity ...
