Informational Odds Ratio: A Useful Measure of Epidemiologic Association in Environment Exposure Studies
(2012-04)
The informational odds ratio (IOR) measures the post-exposure odds divided by the pre-exposure odds (ie, information gained after knowing exposure status). A desirable property of an adjusted ratio estimate is collapsibility ...
Introducing the global medical community to the information presented at local scientific conferences through nephrology blogs
(2012-12-14)
An increasing number of healthcare providers author medical blogs (bloggers) to educate the public and fellow physicians. Traditionally, many bloggers have assumed that readers are most interested in information presented ...
Structural Dynamics of Troponin I during Ca2+-Activation of Cardiac Thin Filaments: A Multi-Site Förster Resonance Energy Transfer Study
(2012-12)
A multi-site, steady-state Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) approach was used to quantify Ca2+-induced changes in proximity between donor loci on human cardiac troponin I (cTnI), and acceptor loci on human cardiac ...
Substrate utilization during submaximal exercise in children with a severely obese parent
(2012-05-09)
Background
We have reported a reduction in fatty acid oxidation (FAO) at the whole-body level and in skeletal muscle in severely obese (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2) individuals; this defect is retained in cell culture suggesting an ...
Stressing the heart of the matter: Re-thinking the mechanisms underlying therapeutic effects of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids
(2012-07-02)
Despite their clear therapeutic effects in coronary heart disease, use of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to treat other types of cardiovascular disease remains controversial, and serious obstacles exist in ...
Rituximab therapy in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis improves alveolar macrophage lipid homeostasis
(2012-06-14)
Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (PAP) patients exhibit an acquired deficiency of biologically active granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) attributable to GM-CSF specific autoantibodies. PAP alveolar ...
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) ...
Q-advanced models for tsunami and rogue waves
(2012-05-21)
A wavelet [subscript] Kq[/subscript] (t ) , that satisfies the q-advanced differential equation [superscript] K q [variant prime][/superscript] ( t ) =[subscript] K q[/subscript] (qt ) for q >1 , is used to model N-wave ...
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 ...
Prey Responses to Predator Chemical Cues: Disentangling the Importance of the Number and Biomass of Prey Consumed
(2012-10)
To effectively balance investment in predator defenses versus other traits, organisms must accurately assess predation risk. Chemical cues caused by predation events are indicators of risk for prey in a wide variety of ...
