An ethnographic exploration of a student subculture of sustained civic engagement
(2011-09)
The purpose of this study is to describe how students understand their own participation in civic engagement activities, particularly as members of a supportive community. Research questions include: How do students ...
Molecular Connections between Cancer Cell Metabolism and the Tumor Microenvironment
(2015)
Cancer cells preferentially utilize glycolysis, instead of oxidative phosphorylation,
for metabolism even in the presence of oxygen. This phenomenon of aerobic glycolysis,
referred to as the “Warburg effect”, commonly ...
Integrated transcriptome, small RNA and degradome sequencing approaches provide insights into Ascochyta blight resistance in chickpea
(2018-10-16)
Ascochyta blight (AB) is one of the major biotic stresses known to limit the chickpea production worldwide. To dissect the complex mechanisms of AB resistance in chickpea, three approaches, namely, transcriptome, small RNA ...
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 ...
Microvascular Endothelial Dysfunction in Sedentary, Obese Humans Is Mediated by NADPH Oxidase Influence of Exercise Training
(2016)
Objective—The objectives of this study were to determine the impact of in vivo reactive oxygen species (ROS) on
microvascular endothelial function in obese human subjects and the efficacy of an aerobic exercise intervention ...
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 ...
Hypoxia inducible factor-1α-dependent epithelial to mesenchymal transition under hypoxic conditions in prostate cancer cells
(2016)
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed
cancer in men and the second leading cause of cancer death.
Hypoxia is an environmental stimulus that plays an important
role in the development and cancer progression ...
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 ...
