(2019-06-06)
Background: Disparities in cervical cancer incidence and mortality signify the need for intervention efforts targeting Korean American immigrant women.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate how a ...
Formation of Protein Networks between Mucins: Molecular Dynamics Study Based on the Interaction Energy of the System
(2019-09-06)
Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed for a model aqueous solution of
mucin. As mucin is a central part of lubricin, a key component of synovial fluid, we investigate its
ability to form cross-linked networks. ...
Fiducial marker placement with electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy: a subgroup analysis of the prospective, multicenter NAVIGATE study
(2019-03-08)
Fiducial markers (FMs) help direct stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and localization for surgical resection in lung cancer management. We report the safety, accuracy, and practice patterns of FM placement utilizing ...
Evaluation of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Carriage and High Livestock Production Areas in North Carolina through Active Case Finding at a Tertiary Care Hospital
(2019-09-14)
: Recent reports from the Netherlands document the emergence of novel multilocus sequence
typing (MLST) types (e.g., ST-398) of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in livestock,
particularly swine. In ...
Founder effects and species introductions: A host versus parasite perspective
(2019-08-07)
Species colonizations (both natural and anthropogenic) can be associated with genetic
founder effects, where founding populations demonstrate significant genetic bottlenecks compared to native populations. Yet, many ...
HTLV-1 basic leucine zipper factor protects cells from oxidative stress by upregulating expression of Heme Oxygenase I
(2019-06-28)
Adult T-cell Leukemia (ATL) is a lymphoproliferative disease of CD4+ T-cells infected with Human T-cell Leukemia Virus type I (HTLV-1). With the exception of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, there are ...
Inflammation and acute traffic-related air pollution exposures among a cohort of youth with type 1 diabetes
(2019-08-13)
Background:
Evidence remains equivocal regarding the association of inflammation, a precursor to cardiovascular disease, and acute exposures to ambient air pollution from traffic-related particulate matter. Though youth ...
Influence of maternal physical exercise on fetal and maternal heart rate responses
(2019-05-02)
This study aims to determine if regular maternal physical exercise leads to measurable adaptations of the fetal autonomic nervous system (fANS) tested by fetal heart rate recovery time. A randomized controlled trial enrolled ...
Horizontal and vertical self-paced saccades as a diagnostic marker of traumatic brain injury
(2019-07-25)
Eye tracking tests to measure horizontal and vertical saccades as a proxy for neural deficits associated
with traumatic brain injury (TBI) were evaluated in the present study. Methodology: A total of 287 participants ...
