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), ... -
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 ... -
Autocrine production of extracellular catalase prevents apoptosis of the human CEM T-cell line in serum-free medium.
(East Carolina University, 1993-05-15)CCRF-CEM is a human T-cell line originally isolated from a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. At cell densities > 2 x 10 cells per ml, CEM cells grow in serum-free medium, but at lower cell densities the cultures ... -
Autolysis and Autoaggregation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Colony Morphology Mutants
(East Carolina University, 2002-12)Two distinctive colony morphologies were noted in a collection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa transposon insertion mutants. One set of mutants formed wrinkled colonies of autoaggregating cells. Suppressor analysis of a subset ...
