Tumor Microenvironment and Metabolism
(2017-12-16)
The tumor microenvironment has profound effects on cancer development, progression, and therapeutic response. Cancer cells co-exist with infiltrated immune cells, blood vessels, fibroblasts, and other stromal cells in the ...
The use of non-uniform drowning terminology: a follow-up study
(2017-07)
Background: In 2002, the World Congress on Drowning developed a uniform definition for drowning. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of “non-uniform drowning terminology” (NUDT) and “non-uniform drowning ...
Brucella abortus strain 2308 Wisconsin genome: importance of the definition of reference strains
(2017-09-29)
Brucellosis is a bacterial infectious disease affecting a wide range of mammals and a neglected zoonosis caused by species of the genetically homogenous genus Brucella. As in most studies on bacterial diseases, research ...
A single dose of trichloroethylene given during development does not substantially alter markers of neuroinflammation in brains of adult mice
(2017-04-03)
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a widespread environmental contaminant associated with developmental immu- notoxicity and neurotoxicity. Previous studies have shown that MRLþ/þ mice exposed to TCE from gesta- tion through ...
An Improved Algorithm to Delineate Urban Targets with Model-Based Decomposition of PolSAR Data
(2017-10-11)
In model-based decomposition algorithms using polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data, urban targets are typically identified based on the existence of strong double-bounced scattering. However, urban targets ...
Anaerobic utilization of Fe(III)-xenosiderophores among Bacteroides species and the distinct assimilation of Fe(III)- ferrichrome by Bacteroides fragilis within the genus
(2017-08)
In this study, we show that Bacteroides species utilize Fe(III)-xenosiderophores as the only source of exogenous iron to support growth under iron-limiting conditions in vitro anaerobically. Bacteroides fragilis was the ...
Adults and Children in Low-Income Households That Participate in Cost-Offset Community Supported Agriculture Have High Fruit and Vegetable Consumption
(2017-07-08)
This paper examines fruit and vegetable intake (FVI) in low-income households that participated in a cost-offset (CO), or 50% subsidized, community-supported agriculture (CSA) program. CSA customers paid farms upfront for ...
Applying the Socio-Ecological Model to barriers to implementation of ACL injury prevention programs: A systematic review
(2017-09-28)
Background: Preventing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries is important to avoid long-term adverse health consequences. Identifying barriers to implementation of these prevention programs is crucial to reducing the ...
