High-intensity exercise to promote accelerated improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness (HI-PACE): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(2019-08-08)
Background:
African Americans have a disproportionate prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes compared with Caucasians. Recent evidence indicates that low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) level, an independent risk ...
Increased mitochondrial NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) expression in aging is a causative factor in aortic stiffening
(2019-08-02)
Aging is characterized by increased aortic stiffness, an early, independent predictor and cause of cardiovascular disease. Oxidative stress from excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) production increases with age. Mitochondria ...
Influence of Community‐Based Dental Education on Practice Choice: Preliminary Data from East Carolina University
(2019-09-01)
Maldistribution of the dental workforce contributes to poor access to oral health care. Community‐based dental education (CBDE) may help to address this problem by using experiential learning to encourage new dentists to ...
Inhibition of CD44 intracellular domain production suppresses bovine articular chondrocyte de-differentiation induced by excessive mechanical stress loading
(2019-10-17)
CD44 fragmentation is enhanced in chondrocytes of osteoarthritis (OA) patients. We hypothesized that mechanical stress-induced enhancement of CD44-intracellular domain (CD44-ICD) production plays an important role in the ...
Influence of Pre-Heating Regular Resin Composites and Flowable Composites on Luting Ceramic Veneers with Different Thicknesses
(2019-06-04)
The aim of this study was to evaluate of pre-heating, filler contents and ceramic thickness on film thickness, microshear bond strength, degree of conversion and color change on ceramic veneers. Two experimental composites ...
Impact of Fuel and Energy Complex on Sustainable Development of Mineral Extracting Regions: the World Experience
(2019-06-21)
The fossil fuel sectors and export of its products occupy a leading position in the economy of many countries and directly affect the sustainability of national economies. Therefore, in the long term an adequate vision of ...
Impact of body mass index on the incidence and severity of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis
(2019-03-12)
Background: Pancreatitis is a potential major complication after endoscopic retrograde
cholangiopancreatography (post-ERCP pancreatitis; PEP). Obesity has been associated with
increased severity of acute pancreatitis. ...
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 ...
Concurrent validity of skin carotenoid status as a concentration biomarker of vegetable and fruit intake compared to multiple 24-h recalls and plasma carotenoid concentrations across one year: a cohort study
(2019-10-30)
Background
Biological markers of vegetable and fruit (VF) intake are needed both for nutrition surveillance and for the evaluation of nutrition interventions. Optically assessed skin carotenoid status (SCS) has been ...
Global redox proteome and phosphoproteome analysis reveals redox switch in Akt
(2019-12-02)
Protein oxidation sits at the intersection of multiple signalling pathways, yet the magnitude and extent of crosstalk between oxidation and other post-translational modifications remains unclear. Here, we delineate global ...
