Smoking and dietary inadequacy among Inuvialuit women of child bearing age in the Northwest Territories, Canada
(2013-02-22)
The prevalence of smoking in Aboriginal Canadians is higher than non-Aboriginal Canadians, a behavior that also tends to alter dietary patterns. Compared with the general Canadian population, maternal smoking rates are ...
Spontaneous weight change during chronic hepatitis C treatment: Association with virologic response rates
(2013-10-31)
We examined weight changes during chronic hepatitis C (CHC) therapy and association with virologic response. Weight changes were compared between subjects achieving rapid, early, and sustained virologic response rates (RVR, ...
Postpartum spontaneous dissection of the first obtuse marginal branch of the left circumflex coronary artery causing acute coronary syndrome: A case report and literature review
(2013-03-19)
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare but important cause of acute coronary syndrome. It can cause unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction, and sudden death. The condition commonly affects young females ...
A double-blind, randomized, multicenter phase 2 study of prasugrel versus placebo in adult patients with sickle cell disease
(2013-02)
Background
Platelet activation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of sickle cell disease (SCD) suggesting antiplatelet agents may be therapeutic. To evaluate the safety of prasugrel, a thienopyridine antiplatelet ...
Engaging in Health Behaviors to Lower Risk for Breast Cancer Recurrence
(2013-01-11)
Purpose
While post-treatment breast cancer survivors face up to twice the cancer risk of the general population, modifiable health behaviors may somewhat reduce this risk. We sought to better understand health behaviors ...
The claudin family of proteins in human malignancy: A clinical perspective
(2013-10-07)
Tight junctions, or zonula occludens, are the most apical component of the junctional complex and provide one form of cell–cell adhesion in epithelial and endothelial cells. Nearly 90% of malignant tumors are derived from ...
Phenotypic and Genetic Divergence among Poison Frog Populations in a Mimetic Radiation
(2013-02-06)
The evolution of Müllerian mimicry is, paradoxically, associated with high levels of diversity in color and pattern. In a mimetic radiation, different populations of a species evolve to resemble different models, which can ...
Quality of life and BMI changes in youth participating in an integrated pediatric obesity treatment program
(2013-07-10)
Changes in Quality of Life (QOL) measures over time with treatment of obesity have not previously been described for youth. We describe the changes from baseline through two follow up visits in youth QOL (assessed by the ...
Expression of Bacteroides fragilis hemolysins in vivo and role of HlyBA in an intra-abdominal infection model
(2013-02-26)
Bacteroides fragilis is the most frequent opportunistic pathogen isolated from anaerobic infections. However, there is a paucity of information regarding the genetic and molecular aspects of gene expression of its virulence ...
Establishment of the Coast Range ophiolite microbial observatory (CROMO): Drilling objectives and preliminary outcomes
(2013-11-05)
Abstract. This project aimed to establish a subsurface microbial observatory in ultramafic rocks, by drilling into an actively serpentinizing peridotite body, characterizing cored rocks, and outfitting the boreholes for a ...
