CanWalk: study protocol for a randomized feasibility trial of a walking intervention for people with recurrent or metastatic cancer
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Increasing numbers of people in the UK are living with recurrent or metastatic cancer, many of whom experience reduced quality of life resulting from the physical and psychosocial consequences of cancer and its ... -
Capsule Homology Does Not Increase the Frequency of Transformation of Linked Penicillin Binding Proteins PBP 1a and PBP 2x in Streptococcus pneumoniae
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005)Penicillin resistance is mainly confined to a limited number of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes. Given linkage between the capsular biosynthesis locus and two penicillin binding proteins, we tested whether capsule ... -

Cardiac Autonomic Dysfunction: Particulate Air Pollution Effects Are Modulated by Epigenetic Immunoregulation of Toll‐like Receptor 2 and Dietary Flavonoid Intake
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2015)Background: Short‐term fine particles (PM2.5) exposure is associated with reduced heart rate variability, a strong predictor of cardiac mortality among older people. Identifying modifiable factors that confer susceptibility ... -
Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Assessment of Interstitial Myocardial Fibrosis and Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy in Hypertensive Mice Treated With Spironolactone
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2014)Background: Nearly 50% of patients with heart failure (HF) have preserved LV ejection fraction, with interstitial fibrosis and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy as early manifestations of pressure overload. However, methods to ... -
Cardiac Sodium Channel Gene Variants and Sudden Cardiac Death in Women
(American Heart Association, 2008)Background-Several cardiac ion channel genes have been implicated in monogenic traits with a high risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Mutations or rare variants in these genes have been proposed as potential contributors ... -
Cardiorespiratory fitness, body mass index, and cancer mortality: a cohort study of Japanese men
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: The aim of this study is to investigate the independent and joint effects of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and body mass index (BMI) on cancer mortality in a low body mass index population. Methods: We evaluated ... -
Cardiovascular disease and impoverishment averted due to a salt reduction policy in South Africa: an extended cost-effectiveness analysis
(Oxford University Press, 2015)The South African Government recently set targets to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) by lowering salt consumption. We conducted an extended cost-effectiveness analysis (ECEA) to model the potential health and economic ... -
