Does Arterial Spin-Labeling MR Imaging–measured Tumor Perfusion Correlate With Renal Cell Cancer Response to Antiangiogenic Therapy in a Mouse Model?
(Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), 2009-06)Purpose: To determine whether arterial spin-labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings at baseline and early during antiangiogenic therapy can predict later resistance to therapy. Materials and Methods: ... -
Does Autoimmune Pancreatitis Increase the Risk of Pancreatic Carcinoma?
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2013)OBJECTIVES: To estimate the risk of malignancy in autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). METHODS: We examined resected pancreata to compare the prevalence of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) in 28 cases of AIP and ... -
Does Being Overweight Really Reduce Mortality?
(2013)There is indisputable evidence from epidemiologic and clinical studies that being overweight and obese elevates the risk of developing debilitating and costly chronic diseases, including hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, ... -
Does calcium channel blockade have a role in prevention of expression of sepsis in renal transplant recipients?
(Dove Medical Press, 2016)Many antihypertensive agents have been demonstrated to assist in preservation of kidney function, among them those that modulate calcium channels. Calcium channel blockers may also be of value in protecting hemodialysis ... -
Does compensatory neural activity survive old-old age?
(Elsevier BV, 2011)One mechanism that may allow older adults to continue to successfully perform certain cognitive tasks is to allocate more resources than their younger counterparts. Most prior studies have not included individuals beyond ... -
Does Diabetes Always Confer Coronary Heart Disease Risk Equivalent to a Prior Myocardial Infarction?
(American Diabetes Association, 2011) -
Does Diet Affect Breast Cancer Risk?
(BioMed Central, 2004)The role of specific dietary factors in breast cancer causation is not completely resolved. Results from prospective studies do not support the concept that fat intake in middle life has a major relation to breast cancer ... -
Does duration of physical activity bouts matter for adiposity and metabolic syndrome? A cross-sectional study of older British men
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Older adults have low physical activity(PA) and high sedentary behaviour(SB) levels. We investigate how total volume and specific patterns of moderate to vigorous PA(MVPA), light PA(LPA) and SB are related to ... -
Does FXIII Deficiency Impair Wound Healing after Myocardial Infarction?
(Public Library of Science, 2006)Inadequate healing of myocardial infarction may contribute to local expansion of the infarct, frequently leading to chamber dilation, heart failure, or myocardial rupture. Experimental evidence in mouse models suggests ... -
Does Glucose Variability Influence the Relationship Between Mean Plasma Glucose and \(HbA_{1c}\) Levels in Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetic Patients?
(American Diabetes Association, 2011)Objective: The A1C-Derived Average Glucose (ADAG) study demonstrated a linear relationship between \(HbA_{1c}\) and mean plasma glucose (MPG). As glucose variability (GV) may contribute to glycation, we examined the ... -
Does lumbar spinal degeneration begin with the anterior structures? A study of the observed epidemiology in a community-based population
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-09-13)Background: Prior studies that have concluded that disk degeneration uniformly precedes facet degeneration have been based on convenience samples of individuals with low back pain. We conducted a study to examine whether ... -
Does Modality of Survey Administration Impact Data Quality: Audio Computer Assisted Self Interview (ACASI) Versus Self-Administered Pen and Paper?
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2010-01-15)Background In the context of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) on HIV testing in the emergency department (ED) setting, we evaluated preferences for survey modality and data quality arising from each modality. Meth ... -
Does modulation of selective attention to features reflect enhancement or suppression of neural activity?
(Elsevier BV, 2012)Numerous studies have demonstrated that selective attention to color is associated with a larger neural response under attend than ignore conditions, but have not addressed whether this difference reflects enhanced activity ... -
Does negative religious coping accompany, precede, or follow depression among Orthodox Jews?
(Elsevier BV, 2011)Background: Cross sectional research suggests that negative religious coping (e.g., anger at God and religious disengagement) strongly correlates with depression and anxiety. However, causality is difficult to establish ... -
Does non-invasive brain stimulation modify hand dexterity? Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis
(BMJ, 2017)Introduction Dexterity is described as coordinated hand and finger movement for precision tasks. It is essential for day-to-day activities like computer use, writing, or buttoning a shirt. Integrity of brain motor ... -
Does Simvastatin Stimulate Bone Formation In Vivo?
(BioMed Central, 2003)Background: Statins, potent compounds that inhibit cholesterol synthesis in the liver have been reported to induce bone formation, both in tissue culture and in rats and mice. To re-examine potential anabolic effects of ... -
Does Smoke from Biomass Fuel Contribute to Anemia in Pregnant Women in Nagpur, India? A Cross-Sectional Study
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Background: Anemia affects upwards of 50% of pregnant women in developing countries and is associated with adverse outcomes for mother and child. We hypothesized that exposure to smoke from biomass fuel – which is widely ... -
Does social support mediate the moderating effect of intrinsic religiosity on the relationship between physical health and depressive symptoms among Jews?
(Springer Nature, 2011)Previous research in the general population suggests that intrinsic religiosity moderates (mitigates) the effect of poor physical health on depression. However, few studies have focused specifically on the Jewish community. ... -
Does stroke location predict walk speed response to gait rehabilitation?
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2015)Abstract Objectives: Recovery of independent ambulation after stroke is a major goal. However, which rehabilitation regimen best benefits each individual is unknown and decisions are currently made on a subjective basis. ...
