(1990-06-19)
A method and composition of regenerating tissue. More specifically, a method for regenerating pancreatic islet tissue having the histological and insulin-containing properties of islets typically found in neonatal or adult ...
Increased Long-Term Mortality among Black CABG Patients Receiving Preoperative Inotropic Agents
(2015-07)
The aim of this study was to examine racial differences in long-term mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), stratified by preoperative use of inotropic agents. Black and white patients who required ...
Ambient PM Exposure Up-regulates the Expression of Costimulatory Receptors on Circulating Monocytes in Diabetic Individuals
(2011-06)
BACKGROUND:
Exposure of humans to air pollutants such as ozone and particulate matter (PM) may result in airway and systemic inflammation and altered immune function. One putative mechanism may be through modification of ...
The involvement of cap-independent mRNA translation in cell fate decisions
(East Carolina University, 2014)
During cell stress many biochemical processes are shut down. For
example, global mRNA translation initiation is inhibited due to the
disruption of the cap-dependent mRNA recruitment mechanism. One
specific example of ...
Congenital coronary artery anomalies silent until geriatric age: non-invasive assessment, angiography tips, and treatment
(2015-01)
Coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) may be discovered more often as incidental findings during the normal diagnostic process for other cardiac diseases or less frequently on the basis of manifestations of myocardial ischemia. ...
Discharge β-Blocker Use and Race after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
(2014-04)
Introduction: The use of discharge β-blockers after cardiac surgery is associated with a long-term mortality benefit. β-Blockers have been suggested to be less effective in black cardiovascular patients compared with whites. ...
