FUSTr: a tool to find gene families under selection in transcriptomes
(2018-01-17)
Background. The recent proliferation of large amounts of biodiversity transcriptomic
data has resulted in an ever-expanding need for scalable and user-friendly tools capable
of answering large scale molecular evolution ...
Comparison of Whole Blood and Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell Gene Expression for Evaluation of the Perioperative Inflammatory Response in Patients with Advanced Heart Failure
(2014-12-17)
Background: Heart failure (HF) prevalence is increasing in the United States.
Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS) therapy is an option for Advanced HF
(AdHF) patients. Perioperatively, multiorgan dysfunction (MOD) is ...
Interventions to improve sarcopenia in cirrhosis: A systematic review
(2019-01-26)
BACKGROUND:
Sarcopenia, i.e., muscle loss is now a well-recognized complication of cirrhosis and in cases of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease can contribute to accelerate liver fibrosis leading to cirrhosis. Hence, it ...
It’s not what you expect: feedback negativity is independent of reward expectation and affective responsivity in a non-probabilistic task
(2017-03)
ERP studies commonly utilize gambling-based reinforcement tasks to elicit feedback negativity (FN) responses. This study used a pattern learning task in order to limit gambling-related fallacious reasoning and possible ...
Impaired contractile function of the supraspinatus in the acute period following a rotator cuff tear
(2017-11-09)
Background: Rotator cuff (RTC) tears are a common clinical problem resulting in adverse changes to the muscle, but there is limited information comparing histopathology to contractile function. This study assessed supraspinatus ...
Protein Kinase A Governs Oxidative Phosphorylation Kinetics and Oxidant Emitting Potential at Complex I
(2015)
he mitochondrial electron transport system (ETS) is responsible for setting and
maintaining both the energy and redox charges throughout the cell. Reversible
phosphorylation of mitochondrial proteins, particularly via ...
Fractional Flow Reserve/ Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio Discordance in Angiographically Intermediate Coronary Stenoses: An Analysis Using Doppler-Derived Coronary Flow Measurements
(2017-12-26)
OBJECTIVES The study sought to determine the coronary flow characteristics of angiographically intermediate stenoses classified as discordant by fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR).
BACKGROUND ...
MicroRNA expression profiles during cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L) fiber early development
(2017-03-22)
The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) during cotton fiber development remains unclear. Here, a total of
54 miRNAs belonging to 39 families were selected to characterize miRNA regulatory mechanism in eight different fiber development ...
Isolated neutropenia as a rare but serious adverse event secondary to immune checkpoint inhibition
(2019-07-05)
Background
Compared to conventional chemotherapy, Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are known to have a distinct toxicity profile commonly identified as immune-related adverse events (irAEs). These irAEs that are believed ...
Karyotype analysis and sex determination in Australian Brush-turkeys (Alectura lathami)
(2017-09-14)
Sexual differentiation across taxa may be due to genetic sex determination (GSD) and/or temperature sex determination (TSD). In many mammals, males are heterogametic (XY); whereas females are homogametic (XX). In most ...
