Gain-of-function mutations in the mechanically activated ion channel PIEZO2 cause a subtype of Distal Arthrogryposis
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013)Mechanotransduction, the pathway by which mechanical forces are translated to biological signals, plays important but poorly characterized roles in physiology. PIEZOs are recently identified, widely expressed, mechanically ... -
Gait patterns associated with thyroid function: The Rotterdam Study
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Gait is an important health indicator and poor gait is strongly associated with disability and risk of falls. Thyroid dysfunction is suggested as a potential determinant of gait deterioration, but this has not been explored ... -
Galectin‐3 Is Elevated and Associated With Adverse Outcomes in Patients With Single‐Ventricle Fontan Circulation
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016)Background: Galectin‐3 may play a role in cardiac and noncardiac fibrosis, and elevated circulating levels of this protein predict adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure who do not have congenital heart disease. ... -
Gallstones and risk of coronary heart disease: prospective analysis of 270,000 men and women from 3 US cohorts and meta-analysis
(American Heart Association, 2016)Objective Gallstone disease has been related to cardiovascular risk factors; however, whether presence of gallstones predicts coronary heart disease (CHD) is not well established.Approach and Results We followed up 269142 ... -
The Gap between Estimated Incidence of End-Stage Renal Disease and Use of Therapy
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Background: Relatively few data exist on the burden of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and use of renal replacement therapy (RRT)–a life-saving therapy–in developing regions. No study has quantified the proportion of patients ... -
