(2017-06-01)We examine real activities manipulation by firms prior to their debt issuances andhow such manipulation activities affect bond yield spreads. We find that bond-issuing firmsincrease their real activities manipulation in ... -
Real-time compression feedback for patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest: a multi-center randomized controlled clinical trial
(2019-01-03)Objective: To determine if real-time compression feedback using a non-automated hand-held device improves patient outcomes from in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). Methods: We conducted a prospective, randomized, controlled, ... -
Recent introductions reveal differential susceptibility to parasitism across an evolutionary mosaic
(2019-08-14)Parasitism can represent a potent agent of selection, and introduced parasites have the potential to substantially alter their new hosts' ecology and evolution. While sig‐ nificant impacts have been reported for parasites ... -
Recent progress in genetics of aging, senescence and longevity: Focusing on cancer-related genes
(2012-12-30)It is widely believed that aging results from the accumulation of molecular damage, including damage of DNA and mitochondria and accumulation of molecular garbage both inside and outside of the cell. Recently, this paradigm ... -
Recent research on Gulf War illness and other health problems in veterans of the 1991 Gulf War: Effects of toxicant exposures during deployment
(2015)Veterans of Operation Desert Storm/Desert Shield − the 1991 Gulf War (GW) − are a unique population who returned from theater with multiple health complaints and disorders. Studies in the U.S. and elsewhere have consistently ... -
Refinement of risk stratification for childhood rhabdomyosarcoma using FOXO1 fusion status in addition to established clinical outcome predictors: A report from the Children's Oncology Group
(2019-08-06)Background: Previous studies of the prognostic importance of FOXO1 fusion status in patients with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) have had conflicting results. We re‐examined risk stratification by adding FOXO1 status to traditional ... -
Reflection tomography of time-lapse GPR data for studying dynamic unsaturated flow phenomena
(2020-01-14)Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) reflection tomography algorithms allow non-invasive monitoring of water content changes resulting from flow in the vadose zone. The approach requires multi-offset GPR data that are ... -
Refractory Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia With Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Treated With IVIg, Steroids, and a Combination of Anticoagulants: A Case Report
(2019-04-02)Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) type II is caused by antibody production that bind complexes between heparin and platelet factor 4 leading to platelet consumption and thrombosis. In a small subset of cases referred ... -
Refugee Policy Implications of U.S. Immigration Medical Screenings: A New Era of Inadmissibility on Health-Related Grounds
(2017-09-24)Refugees frequently face extended delays in their efforts to enter the United States (U.S.) and those who are successful, in many cases, encounter overwhelming obstacles, inadequate resources, and a complex system of legal ... -
Regulation of cardiac fibroblast-mediated maladaptive ventricular remodeling by β-arrestins
(2019-07-03)Cardiac fibroblasts (CF) play a critical role in post-infarction remodeling which can ultimately lead to pathological fibrosis and heart failure. Recent evidence demonstrates that remote (non-infarct) territory fibrosis ... -
Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Glucose Transport and Glucose Metabolism by Exercise Training
(2019-10-12)Aerobic exercise training and resistance exercise training are both well-known for their ability to improve human health; especially in individuals with type 2 diabetes. However, there are critical differences between these ... -
Rehabilitation Intervention for Individuals With Heart Failure and Fatigue to Reduce Fatigue Impact: A Feasibility Study
(2019-12-31)Objective: To investigate feasibility of recruitment, tablet use in intervention delivery, and use of self-report outcome measures and to analyze the effect of Energy Conservation plus Problem-Solving Therapy versus Health ... -
