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, ...
Actual neighborhood-level crime predicts body mass index z-score changes in a multi-racial/ethnic sample of children
(2018-09-24)
Longitudinal studies are warranted to clarify the influence crime has on health outcomes in children especially
children representing multiple racial/ethnic backgrounds. To address this need, the current study examined
whether ...
Advanced immunostaining approaches to study early male germ cell development
(2018-02-09)
Mammalian male germ cell development takes place in the testis under the influence of a variety of somatic cells and an incompletely defined paracrine and endocrine influences. Since it is not recapitulated well in vitro, ...
Expert Consensus Guidelines for Stocking of Antidotes in Hospitals That Provide Emergency Care
(2018-03-01)
We provide recommendations for stocking of antidotes used in emergency departments (EDs). An expert panel representing diverse perspectives (clinical pharmacology, medical toxicology, critical care medicine, hematology/oncology, ...
Factors Affecting Patient Portal Use Among Low-Income Pregnant Women: Mixed-Methods Pilot Study
(2018-03-22)
Background: Patient portals offer patients personalized and secure Web access to their medical information and enable patients
to manage their health care online. However, there is a lack of information about patient ...
Fungal-Host Interaction: Curcumin Modulates Proteolytic Enzyme Activity of Candida albicans and Inflammatory Host Response In Vitro
(2018-08-15)
Current treatments for Candida albicans infection are limited due to the limited number of antifungal drugs available and the increase in antifungal resistance. Curcumin is used as a spice, food preservative, flavoring, ...
Exploring behaviors, treatment beliefs, and barriers to oral chemotherapy adherence among adult leukemia patients in a rural outpatient setting
(2018-11-29)
Objective:
Adherence to oral chemotherapy is essential for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and multiple myeloma (MM) to remain in remission. Few studies have used a Likert-type scale to measure medication ...
FUSTr: a tool to find gene families under selection in transcriptomes
(2018-01-17)
Background. The recent proliferation of large amounts of biodiversity transcriptomic
data has resulted in an ever-expanding need for scalable and user-friendly tools capable
of answering large scale molecular evolution ...
Entropy Production Associated with Aggregation into Granules in a Subdiffusive Environment
(2018-08-30)
We study the entropy production that is associated with the growing or shrinking of a small granule in, for instance, a colloidal suspension or in an aggregating polymer chain. A granule will fluctuate in size when the ...
Bacteroides fragilis requires the ferrous-iron transporter FeoAB and the CobN-like proteins BtuS1 and BtuS2 for assimilation of iron released from heme
(2018-05-07)
The intestinal commensal and opportunistic anaerobic pathogen Bacteroides fragilis has an essential requirement for both heme and free iron to support growth in extraintestinal infections. In the absence of free iron, B. ...
