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 Metabolic Dysregulation With Volumetric Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Cognitive Markers of Subclinical Brain Aging in Middle-Aged Adults
(American Diabetes Association, 2011)Objective: Diabetic and prediabtic states, including insulin resistance, fasting hyperglycemia, and hyperinsulinemia, are associated with metabolic dysregulation. These components have been individually linked to increased ... -
Association of microRNAs and pathologic response to preoperative chemotherapy in triple negative breast cancer: preliminary report
(Springer Netherlands, 2014)Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) has caught the attention of oncologists worldwide because of poor prognosis and paucity of targeted therapies. Gene pathways have been widely studied, but less is known about epigenetic ... -
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 Multiple Sclerosis Susceptibility Variants and Early Attack Location in the CNS
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Objective: The anatomic location of subsequent relapses in early multiple sclerosis (MS) appears to be predicted by the first attack location. We sought to determine if genetic polymorphisms associated with MS susceptibility ... -
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 ... -
The Association of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy-Derived Tissue Oxygenation Measurements with Sepsis Syndromes, Organ Dysfunction and Mortality in Emergency Department Patients with Sepsis
(BioMed Central, 2011)Introduction: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) noninvasively measures peripheral tissue oxygen saturation \((StO_2)\). NIRS may be utilized along with a vascular occlusion test, in which limb blood flow is temporarily ... -
Association of Novel Biomarkers of Cardiovascular Stress With Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Dysfunction: Implications for Screening
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2013)Background: Currently available screening tools for left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (LVH) and systolic dysfunction (LVSD) are either expensive (echocardiography) or perform suboptimally (B‐type natriuretic peptide [BNP]). ... -
Association of Osteoarthritis with Perfluorooctanoate and Perfluorooctane Sulfonate in NHANES 2003–2008
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2013)Background: Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) are persistent, synthetic industrial chemicals. Perfluorinated compounds are linked to health impacts that may be relevant to osteoarthritis, ... -
Association of Overweight and Elevation with Chronic Knee and Low Back Pain: A Cross-Sectional Study
(MDPI, 2014)It is known that overweight is associated with chronic knee pain (CKP) and chronic low back pain (CLBP). Several risk factors for these conditions have been postulated, including age, sex, overweight, occupation, and ... -
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 ... -
The association of plasma biomarkers with computed tomography-assessed emphysema phenotypes
(BioMed Central, 2014)Rationale: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a phenotypically heterogeneous disease. In COPD, the presence of emphysema is associated with increased mortality and risk of lung cancer. High resolution computed ... -
Association of Plasma Phospholipid Long-Chain Omega-3 Fatty Acids With Incident Atrial Fibrillation in Older Adults: The Cardiovascular Health Study
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2012)BACKGROUND: Experimental studies suggest that long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) may reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). Prior studies evaluating fish or n-3 PUFA consumption from dietary ... -
