Leading and Sustaining Curricular Change: Workshop Proceedings from the 2018 Sex and Gender Health Education Summit
(2019-11-12)
The education of health science professionals must balance the incorporation of new and essential content against the current curriculum density. Scientific evidence documenting the impact of sex and gender on health ...
Small RNA Sequencing Reveals Regulatory Roles of MicroRNAs in the Development of Meloidogyne incognita
(2019-11-02)
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an extensive class of small regulatory RNAs. Knowing the
specific expression and functions of miRNAs during root-knot nematode (RKN) (Meloidogyne incognita)
development could provide fundamental ...
Risk factors associated with physical and mental distress in people who report a COPD diagnosis: latent class analysis of 2016 behavioral risk factor surveillance system data
(2019-04-10)
Introduction: Challenges associated with COPD increase patients’ risk of physical immobility and emotional distress, perpetuating a cycle of symptomatic living that hinders patients’ self-management and adherence to a ...
Sediment Cores from White Pond, South Carolina, contain a Platinum Anomaly, Pyrogenic Carbon Peak, and Coprophilous Spore Decline at 12.8 ka
(2019-09-27)
A widespread platinum (Pt) anomaly was recently documented in Greenland ice and 11 North American sedimentary sequences at the onset of the Younger Dryas (YD) event (~12,800 cal yr BP), consistent with the YD Impact ...
Social Capital and Risk of Concurrent Sexual Partners Among African Americans in Jackson, Mississippi
(2019-12-28)
Concurrent sexual partnerships (i.e., relationships that overlap in time) contribute to higher HIV acquisition risk. Social
capital, defned as resources and connections available to individuals is hypothesized to reduce ...
Spargel/dPGC-1 is essential for oogenesis and nutrient-mediated ovarian growth in Drosophila
(2019-06-25)
Dietary proteins are crucial for oogenesis. The Target of Rapamycin (TOR) is a major nutrient sensor controlling organismal growth and fertility, but the downstream effectors of TOR signaling remain largely uncharacterized. ...
Response of high-risk MDS to azacitidine and lenalidomide is impacted by baseline and acquired mutations in a cluster of three inositide-specific genes
(2019-02-20)
Specific myeloid-related and inositide-specific gene mutations can be linked to myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) pathogenesis and therapy. Here, 44 higher-risk MDS patients were treated with azacitidine and lenalidomide and ...
Sex ratios at birth vary with environmental harshness but not maternal condition
(2019-06-21)
The sex ratio at birth (SRB) may be patterned by maternal condition and/or environmental stressors. However, despite decades of research, empirical results from across the social and biological sciences are equivocal on ...
Resumption of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy After Immune-Mediated Colitis
(2019-10-20)
PURPOSE: Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy often is suspended because of immune-mediated diarrhea
and colitis (IMDC). We examined the rate of and risk factors for IMDC recurrence after ICI resumption.
METHODS: ...
