Gastrogastric fistulas. A complication of divided gastric bypass surgery.
(East Carolina University, 1995-04)Objective This report warns that gastrogastric fistulas may follow the division of the stomach in bariatric surgery. Summary Background Data Although surgery is the most effective therapy for morbid obesity, the ... -
Gene-environment interactions in sarcoidosis
(East Carolina University, 2007-05)Susceptibility to most human diseases is polygenic, with complex interactions between functional polymorphisms of single genes governing disease incidence, phenotype, or both. In this context, the contribution of any ... -
Generation and characterization of the humoral immune response to DNA immunization with a chimeric beta-amyloid-interleukin-4 minigene
(East Carolina University, 2003-12)Active immunization with fibrillar beta-amyloid peptide (AB42) as well as passive transfer of anti-AB antibodies significantly reduces AB plaque deposition, neuritic dystrophy, and astrogliosis in the brain of mutant amyloid ... -
Generational differences in practice site selection criteria amongst primary care physicians.
(2016)Background and Objectives: Generational differences are often viewed as shaping the overall attitudes and actions of different age cohorts. It is essential to understand the motivations and generational differences in ... -

Generic Medications and Blood Pressure Control in Diabetic Hypertensive Subjects
(2013-03)OBJECTIVE To investigate temporal improvements in blood pressure (BP) control in subjects with diabetes and policy changes regarding generic antihypertensives. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In a cross-sectional study ... -
Genetic and biochemical analysis of a novel Ambler class A β-Lactamase responsible for cefoxitin resistance in Bacteroides species.
(East Carolina University, 1993-05)A clinical isolate of Bacteroides vulgatus was resistant to tetracycline, clindamycin, ampicillin, cephaloridine, cefoxitin, and other 13-lactam antibiotics except imipenem. 13-Lactam resistance was mediated by a ... -
Genetic and hypoxic effects on germline tumor development in caenorhabditis elegans
(East Carolina University, 2013)The process of differentiation of stem cells to committed, progenitor specific cell types is well studied but the reverse process of the dedifferentiation of these committed cells back to the undifferentiated state still ... -
Genetic and Structural Analysis of the Bacteroides Conjugative Transposon CTn341
(East Carolina University, 2005-04)The genetic structure and functional organization of a Bacteroides conjugative transposon (CTn), CTn341, were determined. CTn341 was originally isolated from a tetracycline-resistant clinical isolate of Bacteroides vulgatus. ... -
Genetic control of cell fate specification in Caenorhabditis elegans germline.
(East Carolina University, 2015)The precise regulation of germ cell fates (sperm or oocyte) lies at the heart of reproduction and fertility. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites produce a discrete number of sperm during larval development ... -
Genetic Organization and Iron-Responsive Regulation of the Brucella abortus 2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic Acid Biosynthesis Operon, a Cluster of Genes Required for Wild-Type Virulence in Pregnant Cattle
(East Carolina University, 2003-04)Brucella abortus reportedly produces the monocatechol siderophore 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA) in response to iron limitation. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the cloned DHBA biosynthesis locus from virulent B. ... -
Genome scan of human systemic lupus erythematosus: Evidence for linkage on chromosome 1q in African-American pedigrees
(East Carolina University, 1998-12)Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by production of autoantibodies against intracellular antigens including DNA, ribosomal P, Ro (SS-A), La (SS-B), and the spliceosome. Etiology is ...
