Auditory verbal hallucinations and the interhemispheric auditory pathway in chronic schizophrenia
(Informa UK Limited, 2014)Objectives—The interhemispheric auditory pathway has been shown to play a crucial role in the processing of acoustic stimuli, and alterations of structural and functional connectivity between bilateral auditory areas are ... -
Auditory-Cortex Short-Term Plasticity Induced by Selective Attention
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014)The ability to concentrate on relevant sounds in the acoustic environment is crucial for everyday function and communication. Converging lines of evidence suggests that transient functional changes in auditory-cortex ... -
Auditory-Motor Mapping Training: Comparing the Effects of a Novel Speech Treatment to a Control Treatment for Minimally Verbal Children with Autism
(Public Library of Science, 2016)This study compared Auditory-Motor Mapping Training (AMMT), an intonation-based treatment for facilitating spoken language in minimally verbal children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), to a matched control treatment, ... -
Augmentation Strategies following the Microfracture Technique for Repair of Focal Chondral Defects
(SAGE Publications, 2010)The operative management of focal chondral lesions continues to be problematic for the treating orthopedic surgeon secondary to the limited regenerative capacity of articular cartilage. Although many treatment options are ... -
Augmented expression of MYC and/or MYCN protein defines highly aggressive MYC-driven neuroblastoma: a Children's Oncology Group study
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)Background: MYCN amplification with subsequent MYCN protein overexpression is a powerful indicator of poor prognosis of neuroblastoma patients. Little is known regarding the prognostic significance of the homologous MYC ... -
Augmented Inhibition from Cannabinoid-Sensitive Interneurons Diminishes CA1 Output after Traumatic Brain Injury
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)The neurological impairments associated with traumatic brain injury include learning and memory deficits and increased risk of seizures. The hippocampus is critically involved in both of these phenomena and highly susceptible ... -
An Augmented Lagrangian Based Compressed Sensing Reconstruction for Non-Cartesian Magnetic Resonance Imaging without Gridding and Regridding at Every Iteration
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Background: Non-Cartesian trajectories are used in a variety of fast imaging applications, due to the incoherent image domain artifacts they create when undersampled. While the gridding technique is commonly utilized for ... -
An Augmented SMS Intervention to Improve Access to Antenatal CD4 Testing and ART Initiation in HIV-Infected Pregnant Women: A Cluster Randomized Trial
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Background: Less than one-third of HIV-infected pregnant women eligible for combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) globally initiate treatment prior to delivery, with lack of access to timely CD4 results being a principal ... -
Aurora kinase targeting in lung cancer reduces KRAS-induced transformation
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Activating mutations in KRAS are prevalent in lung cancer and have been causally linked to the oncogenic process. However, therapies targeted to oncogenic RAS have been ineffective to date and identification ... -
Austin Powers bites back: a cross sectional comparison of US and English national oral health surveys
(BMJ Publishing Group Ltd., 2015)Objective: To compare oral health in the US and England and to assess levels of educational and income related oral health inequalities between both countries. Design: Cross sectional analysis of US and English national ... -
An authentic imaging probe to track cell fate from beginning to end
(2015)Accurate tracing of cell viability is critical for optimizing delivery methods, and evaluating the efficacy and safety of cell therapeutics. A nanoparticle-based cell tracker is developed to image cell fate from live to ... -

Autism Spectrum Disorder and Particulate Matter Air Pollution before, during, and after Pregnancy: A Nested Case–Control Analysis within the Nurses’ Health Study II Cohort
(NLM-Export, 2014)Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder with increasing prevalence worldwide, yet has unclear etiology. Objective: We explored the association between maternal exposure to particulate matter ... -
Autistic Children Exhibit Decreased Levels of Essential Fatty Acids in Red Blood Cells
(MDPI, 2015)Omega-6 (n-6) and omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are essential nutrients for brain development and function. However, whether or not the levels of these fatty acids are altered in individuals with autism ... -
Autoantibodies Produced at the Site of Tissue Damage Provide Evidence of Humoral Autoimmunity in Inclusion Body Myositis
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Inclusion body myositis (IBM) belongs to a group of muscle diseases known as the inflammatory myopathies. The presence of antibody-secreting plasma cells in IBM muscle implicates the humoral immune response in this disease. ... -
Autoantibody profiling to identify biomarkers of key pathogenic pathways in mucinous ovarian cancer
(Elsevier BV, 2010)Mucinous epithelial ovarian cancers are clinically and morphologically distinct from the other histopathologic subtypes of ovarian cancer. Unlike other ovarian subtypes, epidemiologic studies have indicated that tobacco ... -
Autoantibody Signature for the Serologic Detection of Ovarian Cancer
(American Chemical Society, 2014)Sera from patients with ovarian cancer contain autoantibodies (AAb) to tumor-derived proteins that are potential biomarkers for early detection. To detect AAb, we probed high-density programmable protein microarrays (NAPPA) ... -
Autoantigens Underlying IgG4 Related Disease
(2016-06-23)Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a newly emerging immune-mediated condition that can affect over a dozen organs. The systemic nature of this disease allows it to exhibit a plethora of diverse disorders, ...
