Fiducial marker placement with electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy: a subgroup analysis of the prospective, multicenter NAVIGATE study
(2019-03-08)
Fiducial markers (FMs) help direct stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and localization for surgical resection in lung cancer management. We report the safety, accuracy, and practice patterns of FM placement utilizing ...
Evaluation of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Carriage and High Livestock Production Areas in North Carolina through Active Case Finding at a Tertiary Care Hospital
(2019-09-14)
: Recent reports from the Netherlands document the emergence of novel multilocus sequence
typing (MLST) types (e.g., ST-398) of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in livestock,
particularly swine. In ...
Founder effects and species introductions: A host versus parasite perspective
(2019-08-07)
Species colonizations (both natural and anthropogenic) can be associated with genetic
founder effects, where founding populations demonstrate significant genetic bottlenecks compared to native populations. Yet, many ...
HTLV-1 basic leucine zipper factor protects cells from oxidative stress by upregulating expression of Heme Oxygenase I
(2019-06-28)
Adult T-cell Leukemia (ATL) is a lymphoproliferative disease of CD4+ T-cells infected with Human T-cell Leukemia Virus type I (HTLV-1). With the exception of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, there are ...
Inflammation and acute traffic-related air pollution exposures among a cohort of youth with type 1 diabetes
(2019-08-13)
Background:
Evidence remains equivocal regarding the association of inflammation, a precursor to cardiovascular disease, and acute exposures to ambient air pollution from traffic-related particulate matter. Though youth ...
Influence of maternal physical exercise on fetal and maternal heart rate responses
(2019-05-02)
This study aims to determine if regular maternal physical exercise leads to measurable adaptations of the fetal autonomic nervous system (fANS) tested by fetal heart rate recovery time. A randomized controlled trial enrolled ...
Horizontal and vertical self-paced saccades as a diagnostic marker of traumatic brain injury
(2019-07-25)
Eye tracking tests to measure horizontal and vertical saccades as a proxy for neural deficits associated
with traumatic brain injury (TBI) were evaluated in the present study. Methodology: A total of 287 participants ...
Improved respiratory motion tracking through a novel fiducial marker placement guidance system during electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy (ENB)
(2019)
Background:
Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is a treatment option for patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and recurrent or oligometastatic disease who are not surgical candidates. Due ...
How Pre-tenure and Tenured Faculty Can Engage Undergraduates in Publishable Research
(2019-02-06)
Differences in career stage may influence work stress and job satisfaction (Olsen and
Crawford, 1998), which in turn can impact attitudes about recruiting, managing, and mentoring
undergraduates in publishable research ...
Estrogen Regulates the Satellite Cell Compartment in Females
(2019-07-09)
Skeletal muscle mass, strength, and regenerative capacity decline with age, with many measures showing a greater deterioration in females around the time estrogen levels decrease at menopause. Here, we show that estrogen ...
