Group Mutual Exclusion in Linear Time and Space
(East Carolina University, 2014)
The Group Mutual Exclusion (GME) problem, introduced by Joung, is a natural extension of the classical Mutual Exclusion problem. In the classical Mutual Exclusion problem, two or more processes are not simultaneously allowed ...
Cytotoxic and Pathogenic Properties of Klebsiella oxytoca Isolated from Laboratory Animals
(2014-07)
Klebsiella oxytoca is an opportunistic pathogen implicated in various clinical diseases in animals and humans. Studies suggest that in humans K. oxytoca exerts its pathogenicity in part through a cytotoxin. However, cytotoxin ...
Cytotoxic activity of the novel small molecule AKT inhibitor SC66 in hepatocellular carcinoma cells
(2014)
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by limited response to current
drug therapies. Here, we report that SC66, a novel AKT inhibitor, reduced cell viability
in a dose- and time-dependent manner, inhibited ...
Comparison of Whole Blood and Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell Gene Expression for Evaluation of the Perioperative Inflammatory Response in Patients with Advanced Heart Failure
(2014-12-17)
Background: Heart failure (HF) prevalence is increasing in the United States.
Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS) therapy is an option for Advanced HF
(AdHF) patients. Perioperatively, multiorgan dysfunction (MOD) is ...
Advancing research on racial-ethnic health disparities: Improving measurement equivalence in studies with diverse samples
(2014)
To conduct meaningful, epidemiologic research on racial-ethnic health disparities, racial-ethnic samples must be rendered equivalent on other social status and contextual variables via statistical controls of those extraneous ...
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 ...
Brachial Flow-Mediated Dilation and Incident Atrial Fibrillation The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
(2014)
Objective—It is unknown whether endothelial dysfunction precedes atrial fibrillation (AF) development. The objective of
this study was to examine the association of brachial flow-mediated dilation (FMD) with incident ...
Analysis of the B-RAFV600E mutation in cutaneous melanoma patients with occupational sun exposure
(2014)
Sun-exposure is one of the risk factors associated with the development of a cutaneous neoplasm. In melanoma, the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK (MAPK) signaling pathway is constitutively activated through multiple mechanisms, including ...
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 ...
