(Public Library of Science, 2013)Background: The dynamics of CD4+ T cell reconstitution and changes in immune activation and inflammation in HIV-1 disease following initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) are incompletely defined and their underlying ... -
Dysbiosis, inflammation, and response to treatment: a longitudinal study of pediatric subjects with newly diagnosed inflammatory bowel disease
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Gut microbiome dysbiosis has been demonstrated in subjects with newly diagnosed and chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this study we sought to explore longitudinal changes in dysbiosis and ascertain ... -
Dysfunction of the Intestinal Microbiome in Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Treatment
(BioMed Central, 2012)Background: The inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis result from alterations in intestinal microbes and the immune system. However, the precise dysfunctions of microbial metabolism in ... -
Dysfunctional HDL and progression of atherosclerosis in HIV-1-infected and -uninfected adults
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background: HDL function rather than absolute level may be a more accurate indicator for risk of developing atherosclerosis. Dysfunctional HDL has increased redox activity and reduced antioxidant properties, but it is ... -
Dyslipidemia and the Risk of Incident Hypertension in Men
(American Heart Association, 2005)Evidence suggests that hypertension may share a similar pathophysiology with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Thus, dyslipidemia, a strong predictor of CVD, may also predict incident hypertension. We analyzed 3110 men free ... -
Dyslipidemia in an HIV-Positive Antiretroviral Treatment-Naive Population in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2011)Limited data are available on dyslipidemia in HIV-infected patients in resource-limited settings (RLS). We performed a cross-sectional analysis in ART-naïve, non-fasting HIV-infected patients in Tanzania between November ... -
The E3 ubiquitin ligase ZNRF2 is a substrate of mTORC1 and regulates its activation by amino acids
(eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2016)The mechanistic Target of Rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) senses intracellular amino acid levels through an intricate machinery, which includes the Rag GTPases, Ragulator and vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase). The membrane-associated ... -
Early Adoption of Dabigatran and Its Dosing in US Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Results From the Outcomes Registry for Better Informed Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2013)Background: Dabigatran is a novel oral anticoagulant approved for thromboprophylaxis in atrial fibrillation. Adoption patterns of this new agent in community practice are unknown. Methods and Results: We studied patterns ... -
Early Antiretroviral Therapy Reduces AIDS Progression/Death in Individuals with Acute Opportunistic Infections: A Multicenter Randomized Strategy Trial
(Public Library of Science, 2009)Background: Optimal timing of ART initiation for individuals presenting with AIDS-related OIs has not been defined. Methods and Findings: A5164 was a randomized strategy trial of ‘‘early ART’’ - given within 14 days of ... -
Early Blood Gas Predictors of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Extremely Low Gestational Age Newborns
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014)Aim. To determine among infants born before the 28th week of gestation to what extent blood gas abnormalities during the first three postnatal days provide information about the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). ... -
Early child care and obesity at 12 months of age in the Danish National Birth Cohort
(2014)Background/Objectives Evidence suggests that the child care environment may be more obesogenic than the family home, and previous studies have found that child care use may be associated with obesity in children. Few ... -
Early Childhood Development and Schooling Attainment: Longitudinal Evidence from British, Finnish and Philippine Birth Cohorts
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Background: While recent literature has highlighted the importance of early childhood development for later life outcomes, comparatively little is known regarding the relative importance of early physical and cognitive ... -
Early Childhood Developmental Status in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: National, Regional, and Global Prevalence Estimates Using Predictive Modeling
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Background: The development of cognitive and socioemotional skills early in life influences later health and well-being. Existing estimates of unmet developmental potential in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are ... -
Early developmental trajectories associated with ASD in infants with tuberous sclerosis complex
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2014)OBJECTIVE: We performed a longitudinal cohort study of infants with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), with the overarching goal of defining early clinical, behavioral, and biological markers of autism spectrum disorder ... -
Early goal-directed therapy in severe sepsis and septic shock: insights and comparisons to ProCESS, ProMISe, and ARISE

Early life body fatness and risk of colorectal cancer in US women and men – results from two large cohort studies
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2015)Background: The association between body fatness before adulthood and later risk of colorectal cancer remains unclear. We hypothesized that, independent of adult body fatness, early life body fatness would be associated ... -
Early life environment and natural history of inflammatory bowel diseases
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Early life exposures may modify risk of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD; Crohn’s disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC)). However, the relationship between early life exposures and natural history of IBD has ... -
