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 ... -
Association of PCSK1 rs6234 with Obesity and Related Traits in a Chinese Han Population
(Public Library of Science, 2010)Background: Common variants in PCSK1 have been reported to be associated with obesity in populations of European origin. We aimed to replicate this association in Chinese. Methodology/Principal Findings: Two PCSK1 variants ... -
