The National Clinical Assessment Tool for Medical Students in the Emergency Department (NCAT-EM)
(2018-01)
Introduction: Clinical assessment of medical students in emergency medicine (EM) clerkships is
a highly variable process that presents unique challenges and opportunities. Currently, clerkship directors use institution-specific ...
Applicability of Precision Medicine Approaches to Managing Hypertension in Rural Populations
(2018-04-30)
As part of the Heart Healthy Lenoir Project, we developed a practice level intervention to improve blood pressure control. The goal of this study was: (i) to determine if single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that associate ...
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, ...
Distribution and population structure in the naked goby Gobiosoma bosc (Perciformes: Gobiidae) along a salinity gradient in two western Atlantic estuaries Citation metadata
(2018-08-07)
Many species of fish produce larvae that undergo a prolonged dispersal phase. However,
evidence from a number of recent studies on demersal fishes suggests that the dispersal
of propagules may not be strongly correlated ...

(2018-09-04)
Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is often and successfully treated with dopamine receptor
agonists that target the inhibitory D3 receptor subtype, however there is no clinical
evidence of a D3 receptor dysfunction in RLS ...

(2018-09-26)
Immobility during hospitalization is widely recognized as a contributor to deconditioning, functional loss, and increased need for institutional post-acute care. Several studies have demonstrated that inpatient walking ...
Effects of finite coverage on global polarization observables in heavy ion collisions
(2018-05-10)
In non-central relativistic heavy ion collisions, the created matter possesses a large initial orbital angular momentum. Particles produced in the collisions could be polarized globally in the direction of the orbital ...
