Fc-Epsilon-RI, the High Affinity IgE-Receptor, Is Robustly Expressed in the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract and Modulated by Mucosal Inflammation
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Background: The role of the high affinity IgE receptor, FcεRI, in IgE-mediated immune responses of the gastrointestinal (GI) mucosa is poorly understood. Currently, a detailed characterization of FcεRI expression throughout ... -
FDG-PET Imaging Reveals Local Brain Glucose Utilization Is Altered by Class I Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors
(Elsevier BV, 2013)The purpose of this work – the first of its kind – was to evaluate the impact of chronic selective histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor treatment on brain activity using uptake of the radioligand 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose and ... -
FDR and American Military Deployment: “My” Armed Forces and their Health
(The Ulster Medical Society, 2018) -
FE65 and FE65L1 share common synaptic functions and genetically interact with the APP family in neuromuscular junction formation
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)The FE65 adaptor proteins (FE65, FE65L1 and FE65L2) bind proteins that function in diverse cellular pathways and are essential for specific biological processes. Mice lacking both FE65 and FE65L1 exhibit ectopic neuronal ... -
Fear-Potentiated Startle and Fear Extinction in a Sample of Undergraduate Women Exposed to a Campus Mass Shooting
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2017)Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common psychological disorder that affects a substantial minority of individuals. Previous research has suggested that PTSD can be partially explained as a disorder of impaired ... -
Feasibility and impact of Creciendo Sanos, a clinic-based pilot intervention to prevent obesity among preschool children in Mexico City
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Mexico has the highest adult overweight and obesity prevalence in the Americas; 23.8% of children <5 years old are at risk for overweight and 9.7% are already overweight or obese. Creciendo Sanos was a pilot ... -
The Feasibility and Impact of Delivering a Mind-Body Intervention in a Virtual World
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Introduction: Mind-body medical approaches may ameliorate chronic disease. Stress reduction is particularly helpful, but face-to-face delivery systems cannot reach all those who might benefit. An online, 3-dimensional ... -
Feasibility of a Clearing House for Improved Cooperation Between Telemedicine Networks Delivering Humanitarian Services: Acceptability to Network Coordinators
(Co-Action Publishing, 2012)Background: Telemedicine networks, which deliver humanitarian services, sometimes need to share expertise to find particular experts in other networks. It has been suggested that a mechanism for sharing expertise between ... -
Feasibility of a large cohort study in sub-Saharan Africa assessed through a four-country study
(Co-Action Publishing, 2015)Background: Large prospective epidemiologic studies are vital in determining disease etiology and forming national health policy. Yet, such studies do not exist in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) notwithstanding the growing burden ... -
Feasibility of a Randomized Clinical Trial for Treatment of Femoroacetabular Impingement of the Hip
(SAGE Publications, 2015)Background: Symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is currently corrected by surgery. However, it is possible that nonsurgical treatment could resolve symptomatic FAI in some patients; thus, uncertainty about the ... -
Feasibility of aortic valve assessment with low dose prospectively triggered adaptive systolic (PTAS) cardiac computed tomography angiography
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background: Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CTA) is feasible for aortic valve evaluation, but retrospective gated protocols required high radiation doses for aortic valve assessment. A prospectively triggered ... -
Feasibility of High-Throughput Genome-Wide Genotyping using DNA from Stored Buccal Cell Samples
(Libertas Academica, 2010)It is unclear if buccal cell samples contain sufficient human DNA with adequately sized fragments for high throughput genetic bioassays. Yet buccal cell sample collection is an attractive alternative to gathering blood ... -
Feasibility of Prioritizing Drug–Drug-Event Associations Found in Electronic Health Records
(Springer International Publishing, 2015)Background and Objective Several studies have demonstrated the ability to detect adverse events potentially related to multiple drug exposure via data mining. However, the number of putative associations produced by such ... -
Feasibility of progressive sit-to-stand training among older hospitalized patients
(PeerJ Inc., 2015)Background. In older patients, hospitalization is associated with a decline in functional performance and loss of muscle strength. Loss of muscle strength and functional performance can be prevented by systematic strength ... -
Feasibility of studying brain morphology in major depressive disorder with structural magnetic resonance imaging and clinical data from the electronic medical record: A pilot study
(Elsevier BV, 2013)For certain research questions related to long-term outcomes or to rare disorders, designing prospective studies is impractical or prohibitively expensive. Such studies could instead utilize clinical and magnetic resonance ... -
Feasibility of the Assessment of Cholesterol Crystals in Human Macrophages Using Micro Optical Coherence Tomography
(Public Library of Science, 2014)The presence of cholesterol crystals is a hallmark of atherosclerosis, but until recently, such crystals have been considered to be passive components of necrotic plaque cores. Recent studies have demonstrated that ... -
The feasibility of using natural language processing to extract clinical information from breast pathology reports
(Medknow, 2012)Objective: The opportunity to integrate clinical decision support systems into clinical practice is limited due to the lack of structured, machine readable data in the current format of the electronic health record. Natural ... -
Feasibility Study of Early Intervention Provider Confidence Following a Neurobehavioural Intervention for High-Risk Newborns
(Informa UK Limited, 2011-09)Study purpose: Early intervention (EI) can ameliorate neurobehavioural difficulties and parental psychosocial distress. Often, EI service providers are not trained to address the unique needs of the high risk parent–infant ... -
Feasibility study of electrocardiographic and respiratory gated, gadolinium enhanced magnetic resonance angiography of pulmonary veins and the impact of heart rate and rhythm on study quality
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: We aimed to assess the feasibility of 3 dimensional (3D) respiratory and ECG gated, gadolinium enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) on a 3 Tesla (3 T) scanner for imaging pulmonary veins (PV) and left ...
