Expansion of cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury after instillation of three forms of multi-walled carbon nanotubes
(2012-10-16)
Background The exceptional physical-chemical properties of carbon nanotubes have lead to their use in diverse commercial and biomedical applications. However, their utilization has raised concerns about human exposure that ...
Habitat and scale shape the demographic fate of the keystone sea urchin paracentrotus lividus in mediterranean macrophyte communities
(2012-04-20)
Demographic processes exert different degrees of control as individuals grow, and in species that span several habitats and spatial scales, this can influence our ability to predict their population at a particular ...
Effects of robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy on surgical pathology specimens
(2012-03-13)
Background
Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) has greatly changed clinical management of prostate cancer. It is important for pathologists and urologists to compare RALP with conventional open radical ...
A case of pulmonary hemorrhage and renal failure
(2012-12-14)
Background:
Alveolar hemorrhage can be seen in many vasculitic disorders. However, granulomatosis polyangiitis (formerly Wegener’s granulomatosis) uncommonly presents with life threatening alveolar hemorrhage and has only ...
Inhibition of vascular smooth muscle growth via signaling crosstalk between amp-activated protein kinase and camp-dependent protein kinase
(2012-10-29)
Abnormal vascular smooth muscle (VSM) growth is central in the pathophysiology of vascular disease yet fully effective therapies to curb this growth are lacking. Recent findings from our lab and others support growth control ...

Objective. To compare on- and off-campus snacking patterns among college students pursuing degrees in health-related fields (HRFs) and nonhealth-related fields (NHRFs). Materials and Methods. Snack frequency questionnaire, ...
Effects of ectopic expression of NGAL on doxorubicin sensitivity
(2012-10-20)
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL, a.k.a Lnc2) is a member of the lipocalin family which has diverse roles including stabilizing matrix metalloproteinase-9 from auto-degradation and as siderocalins which are ...
Harnessing the PI3K/Akt/mtor pathway in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia: Eliminating activity by targeting at different levels
(2012-08-09)
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive malignant hematological disorder arising in the thymus from T-cell progenitors. T-ALL mainly affects children and young adults, and remains fatal in 20% of ...
