Ml proteins from Mesorhizobium loti and MucR from Brucella abortus: an AT-rich core DNA-target site and oligomerization ability
(2017-11-17)
Mesorhizobium loti contains ten genes coding for proteins sharing high amino acid sequence identity with members of the Ros/MucR transcription factor family. Five of these Ros/MucR family members from Mesorhizobium loti ...
Plasma Irisin Modestly Increases during Moderate and High-Intensity Afternoon Exercise in Obese Females
(2017-01-26)
Background and Purpose
Irisin is an exercise-responsive myokine that has been proposed to exert anti-obesity bene- fits; yet its response during exercise in obese women is not described. This study character- ized plasma ...
Pineal Region Glioblastoma, a Case Report and Literature Review
(2017-06-12)
Introduction: Pineal region glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a rare disease entity with a generally poor prognosis. We present a case of a patient with an unresectable pineal region GBM treated with chemoradiation with ...
Applying the Socio-Ecological Model to barriers to implementation of ACL injury prevention programs: A systematic review
(2017-09-28)
Background: Preventing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries is important to avoid long-term adverse health consequences. Identifying barriers to implementation of these prevention programs is crucial to reducing the ...
EphrinA1-Fc attenuates myocardial ischemia/ reperfusion injury in mice
(2017-12-13)
EphrinA1, a membrane-bound receptor tyrosine kinase ligand expressed in healthy car- diomyocytes, is lost in injured cells following myocardial infarction. Previously, we have reported that a single intramyocardial injection ...
Functional imaging of cognition in an old-old population: A case for portable functional near-infrared spectroscopy
(2017-10-12)
In this study, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was used to record brain activa- tion during cognitive testing in older individuals (88±6yo; N = 19) living in residential care communities. This population, ...
Gemella Species Bacteremia and Stroke in an Elderly Patient with Respiratory Tract Infection
(2017-01-02)
Gemella species are part of normal human flora. They are rarely associated with infections. As opportunistic pathogens, they can cause life-threatening infection in individuals with risk factors. We present an unusual case ...
Dimeric and tetrameric forms of muscle fructose-1,6- bisphosphatase play different roles in the cell
(2017-12-15)
Muscle fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBP2), besides being a regulatory enzyme of glyconeogenesis also protects mitochondria against calcium stress and plays a key role in regulation of the cell cycle, promoting cardiomyocytes ...
Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy to access lung lesions in 1,000 subjects: first results of the prospective, multicenter NAVIGATE study
(2017-04)
Background: Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) is an image-guided, minimally invasive approach that uses a flexible catheter to access pulmonary lesions.
Methods: NAVIGATE is a prospective, multicenter study ...
