Multiple Kinase Involvement in the Regulation of Vascular Growth
(New York: InTech Open Access Publishers, 2012-06)
The initial discovery of protein phosphorylation as a regulatory mechanism for the control of glycogen metabolism has led to intense interest of protein phosphorylation in regulating protein function (Cohen et al., 2001). ...
The effects of reading acceleration on reading comprehension and decoding accuracy in high school students with reading disorders.
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Reading disorders have been hypothesized to result from an asynchrony between speed of processing characteristics of auditory and visual systems involved in decoding. It is hypothesized that reading at faster rates can ...
Mast cells and the IL-33/ST2 axis are essential determinants of carbon nanotube toxicity
(East Carolina University, 2012)
The rise of nanomaterial use in a variety of applications, including biomedical imaging and drug delivery, has led to concern about the potentially hazardous impacts on human health. Mast cells are critical for innate and ...
Mirror gait retraining for the treatment of patellofemoral pain in female runners.
(2012-12)
BACKGROUND:
Abnormal hip mechanics are often implicated in female runners with patellofemoral pain. We sought to evaluate a simple gait retraining technique, using a full-length mirror, in female runners with patellofemoral ...
The bhuTUV and bhuO genes play vital roles in the ability of Brucella abortus to use heme as an iron source and are regulated in an iron-responsive manner by RirA and Irr
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Brucella abortus is a Gram negative intracellular pathogen that causes the zoonotic disease brucellosis. Antibiotic treatment for brucellosis in humans is prolonged and sometimes followed by relapses. Currently, the United ...
A comparison of drivers' braking responses across ages
(East Carolina University, 2012)
As driving is associated with independence, it is important for occupational therapists to understand what skills are required to drive safely and how to assess them in order to keep older drivers driving independently ...
Factors Associated with Survival of Veterans with Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors
(2012)
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 ...
Challenges and Solutions in the Development of Genomic Biomarker Panels: A Systematic Phased Approach
(2012-06)
In the post-genome era, high throughput gene expression profiling has been successfully used to develop genomic biomarker panels (GBP) that can be integrated into clinical decision making. The development of GBPs in the ...
Granulocytic Sarcoma of the Male Breast in Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia with Concurrent Deletion of 5q and Trisomy 8
(2012)
We describe a unique case of Granulocytic Sarcoma (GS) in a male, who presented to us with a painless right breast mass without any prior history of Leukemia. GS is an extramedullary tumor of myeloproliferative precursors ...
Feminizing Adrenal Carcinoma Presenting with Heart Failure and Ventricular Tachycardia
(2012)
We present a case of feminizing adrenal carcinoma with severe elevation in serum estradiol and otherwise unexplained congestive heart failure with ventricular arrhythmia and review the literature on feminizing adrenal ...
