Prospects for the study of evolution in the deep biosphere
(2012)
Since the days of Darwin, scientists have used the framework of the theory of evolution to explore the interconnectedness of life on Earth and adaptation of organisms to the ever-changing environment. The advent of molecular ...
Metagenomic Evidence for H2 Oxidation and H2 Production by Serpentinite-Hosted Subsurface Microbial Communities
(2012-01-06)
Among civilian academic physicians, having a mentor is associated with greater job satisfaction. Whether this is true for military physicians is unknown. We sought to examine whether having a mentor is associated with ...
Measures of the consumer food store environment: A systematic review of the evidence 2000-2011
(2012-08)
Description of the consumer food environment has proliferated in publication. However, there has been a lack of systematic reviews focusing on how the consumer food environment is associated with the following: (1) ...
Estimating coastal lagoon tidal flooding and repletion with multidate ASTER thermal imagery
(2012-10-18)
Coastal lagoons mix inflowing freshwater and tidal marine waters in complex spatial patterns. This project sought to detect and measure temperature and spatial variability of flood tides for a constricted coastal lagoon ...
In Vivo Blood Glucose Quantification Using Raman Spectroscopy
(2012-10-25)
We here propose a novel Raman spectroscopy method that permits the noninvasive measurement of blood glucose concentration. To reduce the effects of the strong background signals produced by surrounding tissue and to obtain ...
Factors associated with survival of veterans with gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors
(2012-05-27)
Background. Gastrointestinal (GI) neuroendocrine tumor (NET) incidence has been increasing; however, GI NET within the national Veterans Affairs (VA) health system has not been described. Methods. We used the VA Central ...
The HTLV-1-encoded protein HBZ directly inhibits the acetyl transferase activity of p300/CBP
(2012-03-19)
The homologous cellular coactivators p300 and CBP contain intrinsic lysine acetyl transferase (termed HAT) activity. This activity is responsible for acetylation of several sites on the histones as well as modification of ...
The influence of resistance exercise training on the levels of anxiety in ischemic stroke
(2012-11-11)
The aim of this pilot study was to analyze the effect of a strength training program on indicators of trait and state anxiety in patients with ischemic stroke. The subjects were divided into two groups: experimental group ...
Cytokine-neuroantigen fusion proteins as a new class of tolerogenic, therapeutic vaccines for treatment of inflammatory demyelinating disease in rodent models of multiple sclerosis
(2012-08-20)
Myelin-specific induction of tolerance represents a promising means to modify the course of autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Our laboratory has focused on a novel preclinical ...
