Autoantibody Signature for the Serologic Detection of Ovarian Cancer
(American Chemical Society, 2014)Sera from patients with ovarian cancer contain autoantibodies (AAb) to tumor-derived proteins that are potential biomarkers for early detection. To detect AAb, we probed high-density programmable protein microarrays (NAPPA) ... -
Automated Internet-based pain coping skills training to manage osteoarthritis pain
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2015)Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability in the United States and globally, [14; 39] and the burdens it causes are expected to increase as the world’s population ages [14; 23]. Non-pharmacological treatments ... -
Automating dChip: Toward Reproducible Sharing of Microarray Data Analysis
(BioMed Central, 2008)Background: During the past decade, many software packages have been developed for analysis and visualization of various types of microarrays. We have developed and maintained the widely used dChip as a microarray analysis ... -
Autonomic Effects of Controlled Fine Particulate Exposure in Young Healthy Adults: Effect Modification by Ozone
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2009)Background: Human controlled-exposure studies have assessed the impact of ambient fine particulate matter on cardiac autonomic function measured by heart rate variability (HRV), but whether these effects are modified by ... -
Autophagy Impairment: A Crossroad between Neurodegeneration and Tauopathies
(BioMed Central, 2012)Most neurodegenerative diseases involve the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the nervous system. Impairment of protein degradation pathways such as autophagy is emerging as a consistent and transversal pathological ... -
Autotransporters but not pAA are critical for rabbit colonization by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O104:H4
(2014)The outbreak of diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome that occurred in Germany in 2011 was caused by a Shiga toxin-producing enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) strain. The strain was classified as EAEC due to the ... -
Availability of Insurance Linkage Programs in U.S. Emergency Departments
(Department of Emergency Medicine, University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, 2014)Introduction: As millions of uninsured citizens who use emergency department (ED) services are now eligible for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, the ED is ideally situated to facilitate linkage to insurance. ... -
Average Household Exposure to Newspaper Coverage about the Harmful Effects of Hormone Therapy and Population-Based Declines in Hormone Therapy Use
(Springer-Verlag, 2007)Background: The news media facilitated the rapid dissemination of the findings from the estrogen plus progestin therapy arm of the Women’s Health Initiative (EPT-WHI). Objective: To examine the relationship between the ... -
Avian influenza: Ferret H7N9 flu model questioned

The AViKA (Adding Value in Knee Arthroplasty) postoperative care navigation trial: rationale and design features
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background: Utilization of total knee arthroplasty is increasing rapidly. A substantial number of total knee arthroplasty recipients have persistent pain after surgery. Our objective was to design a randomized controlled ... -
Avoiding Breast Animation Deformity with Pectoralis-Sparing Subcutaneous Direct-to-Implant Breast Reconstruction
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2016)Summary: There is renewed interest in sparing the pectoralis major muscle in implant breast reconstruction, placing the implant in the subcutaneous position. This advance is made reliable by improvements in mastectomy skin ... -
Awareness, Accuracy, and Predictive Validity of Self-reported Cholesterol in Women
(Springer-Verlag, 2007)Background: Although current guidelines emphasize the importance of cholesterol knowledge, little is known about accuracy of this knowledge, factors affecting accuracy, and the relationship of self-reported cholesterol ... -
B Vitamins, Methionine and Alcohol Intake and Risk of Colon Cancer in Relation to BRAF Mutation and CpG Island Methylator Phenotype (CIMP)
(Public Library of Science, 2011)Background: One-carbon metabolism appears to play an important role in DNA methylation reaction. Evidence suggests that a low intake of B vitamins or high alcohol consumption increases colorectal cancer risk. How one-carbon ... -
Bachelors, Divorcees, and Widowers: Does Marriage Protect Men from Type 2 Diabetes?
(Public Library of Science, 2014)While research has suggested that being married may confer a health advantage, few studies to date have investigated the role of marital status in the development of type 2 diabetes. We examined whether men who are not ... -
Bacterial Adrenergic Sensors Regulate Virulence of Enteric Pathogens in the Gut
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016)ABSTRACT Enteric pathogens such as enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) and Citrobacter rodentium, which is largely used as a surrogate EHEC model for murine infections, are exposed to several host neurotransmitters ... -
Bacterial Genome-Wide Association Identifies Novel Factors That Contribute to Ethionamide and Prothionamide Susceptibility in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2019-04-30)In Mycobacterium tuberculosis, recent genome-wide association studies have identified a novel constellation of mutations that are correlated with high-level drug resistances. Interpreting the functional importance of the ... -
