Association of HLA-DRB1-restricted CD4+ T cell responses with HIV immune control
(2013)The contribution of HLA class II-restricted CD4+ T cell responses to HIV immune control is poorly defined. Here, we delineated novel peptide-DRB1 restrictions in functional assays and analyzed the host genetic effects of ... -
Association of homocysteine with type 2 diabetes: a meta-analysis implementing Mendelian randomization approach
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background: We tested the hypothesis that elevated homocysteine (Hcy) level is causally associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Results: The meta-analysis and Mendelian randomization analysis ... -
Association of hypertension with coronary artery disease onset in the Lebanese population
(Springer International Publishing, 2014)The onset of coronary artery disease (CAD) is influenced by cardiovascular risk factors that often occur in clusters and may build on one another. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between hypertension ... -
Association of indoor nitrogen dioxide with respiratory symptoms in children: Application of measurement error correction techniques to utilize data from multiple surrogates
(Springer Nature, 2006)In 1991, Neas et al. reported that indoor nitrogen dioxide (NO2) a byproduct of high-temperature combustion, was significantly associated with lower respiratory symptoms among a cohort of 1159 white children aged 7-11 years ... -
Association of KLK3 (PSA) genetic variants with prostate cancer risk and PSA levels
(Oxford University Press, 2011)Genome-wide association studies have identified genetic markers in kallikrein-related peptidase 3 (KLK3) associated with prostate cancer. However, some of these markers are also associated with prostate-specific antigen ... -
Association of lifetime exposure to fluoride and cognitive functions in Chinese children: A pilot study
(Elsevier BV, 2015)Background A systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies on developmental fluoride neurotoxicity support the hypothesis that exposure to elevated concentrations of fluoride in water is neurotoxic during ... -
The association of long-term exposure to PM2.5 on all-cause mortality in the Nurses’ Health Study and the impact of measurement-error correction
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Long-term exposure to particulate matter less than 2.5 μm in diameter (PM2.5) has been consistently associated with risk of all-cause mortality. The methods used to assess exposure, such as area averages, nearest ... -
The association of maternal age with infant mortality, child anthropometric failure, diarrhoea and anaemia for first births: Evidence from 55 low- and middle-income countries
(BMJ, 2011)Objective: To examine the association between maternal age at first birth and infant mortality, stunting, underweight, wasting, diarrhoea and anaemia in children in low- and middle income countries. Design: Cross-sectional ... -
Association of Maternal Height With Child Mortality, Anthropometric Failure, and Anemia in India
(American Medical Association (AMA), 2009)CONTEXT: Prior research on the determinants of child health has focused on contemporaneous risk factors such as maternal behaviors, dietary factors, and immediate environmental conditions. Research on intergenerational ... -
Association of Maternal Stature With Offspring Mortality, Underweight, and Stunting in Low- to Middle-Income Countries
(American Medical Association (AMA), 2010)CONTEXT: Although maternal stature has been associated with offspring mortality and health, the extent to which this association is universal across developing countries is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To examine the association ... -
Association of Medical Students' Reports of Interactions with the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Industries and Medical School Policies and Characteristics: A Cross-Sectional Study
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Background: Professional societies use metrics to evaluate medical schools' policies regarding interactions of students and faculty with the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. We compared these metrics and ... -
The Association of Meningococcal Disease with Influenza in the United States, 1989–2009
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Importance and Objective Prior influenza infection is a risk factor for invasive meningococcal disease. Quantifying the fraction of meningococcal disease attributable to influenza could improve understanding of viral-bacterial ... -
Association of missing paternal demographics on infant birth certificates with perinatal risk factors for childhood obesity
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: The role of fathers in the development of obesity in their offspring remains poorly understood. We evaluated associations of missing paternal demographic information on birth certificates with perinatal risk ... -
Association of MRI findings and expert diagnosis of symptomatic meniscal tear among middle-aged and older adults with knee pain
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Our aim was to examine the association between an expert clinician’s impression of symptomatic meniscal tears and subsequent MRI in the context of middle-aged and older adults with knee pain. Methods: Patients ... -
Association of N-Linked Glycoprotein Acetyls and Colorectal Cancer Incidence and Mortality
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Background: Acute phase proteins highlight the dynamic interaction between inflammation and oncogenesis. GlycA, a novel nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) inflammatory marker that identifies primarily circulating N-acetyl ... -
Association of Nut Consumption with Total and Cause-Specific Mortality
(New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM/MMS), 2013)BACKGROUND: Increased nut consumption has been associated with a reduced risk of major chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, the association between nut consumption and ... -
Association of Parkinson’s Disease and Its Subtypes with Agricultural Pesticide Exposures in Men: A Case–Control Study in France
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2015)Background: Pesticides have been associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD), but there are few data on important exposure characteristics such as dose–effect relations. It is unknown whether associations depend on clinical ... -
