Association of Perfluoroalkyl Substances, Bone Mineral Density, and Osteoporosis in the U.S. Population in NHANES 2009-2010
(2015-06)Background Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), and perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), are detectable in the ... -
Association of pneumothorax and hypotension with intraventricular haemorrhage
(East Carolina University, 1991-01)To test the hypothesis that acute hyotension resulting from pneumothorax would be associated with severe brain injury (grade 3 or 4 intraventricular haemorrhage), 67 very low birthweight (VLBW) infants of 32 weeks' gestation ... -
Associations between farmers market managers’ motivations and market-level Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Electronic Benefit Transfer (SNAP/EBT) availability and business vitality
(2015-12-08)Farmers markets are promoted to improve access to healthy food for low-income consumers by providing affordable produce via Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Electronic Benefit Transfer (SNAP/EBT). Having ... -
Atraumatic curvilinear atrial retractors and related methods
(2007-07-05)Cardiac retractors include a rod having opposing forward and rearward portions and a length sufficient to position the rearward portion of the rod outside a patient's body and the forward portion inside a patient proximate ... -
Attenuated viruses and method of making the same
(1996-04-18)Disclosed are attenuated viruses, not naturally occurring, that contain one or more additional methylation sites in the genome of the virus compared to the corresponding wild-type virus. Preferably, the methylation sites ... -
ATX1-Generated H3K4me3 Is Required for Efficient Elongation of Transcription, Not Initiation, at ATX1-Regulated Genes
(2012-12)Tri-methylated H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) is associated with transcriptionally active genes, but its function in the transcription process is still unclear. Point mutations in the catalytic domain of ATX1 (ARABIDOPSIS TRITHORAX1), ... -
Auditory and visual sustained attention on tasks with varied motivation and cognitive loads in children with and without ADHD.
(East Carolina University, 2015)Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common condition that can make tasks difficult for the children affected, particularly in a school environment. Continuous performance tasks are one means of evaluating ... -
Auditory brainstem responses to air- and bone-conducted chirp stimuli in newborns and young adults.
(East Carolina University, 2015)Over the past half a century, considerable effort has been dedicated to the development of universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) programs across the United States. Newborn hearing screenings have progressed from ... -
Auditory event-related potentials recorded during passive listening and speech production
(East Carolina University, 2010)What is the role of audition in the process of speech production and speech perception? Specifically, how are speech production and speech perception integrated to facilitate forward flowing speech and communication? ... -
Auditory Temporal Resolution In Normal Hearing Preschool Children Revealed by Word Recognition In Continuous And Interrupted Noise
(East Carolina University, 2006)The purpose of this study was to examine temporal resolution in normal hearing pre-school children. Word recognition was evaluated in quiet and in spectrally identical continuous and interrupted noise at signal-to-noise ... -
Augmented coronary vascular smooth muscle response to endothelin-1 exacerbates cardiac injury following pulmonary exposure to engineered nanomaterials
(East Carolina University, 2014)Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and 60-carbon fullerenes (C60) are important engineered nanoparticles (ENP) used across industry. Exposure to ENP potentially promotes cardiovascular detriments. The hypotheses that ... -
Aurora-A Mitotic Kinase Induces Endocrine Resistance through Down-Regulation of ERα Expression in Initially ERα+ Breast Cancer Cells
(2014)Development of endocrine resistance during tumor progression represents a major challenge in the management of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) positive breast tumors and is an area under intense investigation. Although the ...
