Walnut Consumption Is Associated with Lower Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Women12
(American Society for Nutrition, 2013)Walnuts are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and have been shown to improve various cardiometabolic risk factors. We aimed to investigate the association between walnut intake and incident type 2 diabetes in 2 large ... -
War Neurosurgery: Triumphs and Transportation

Warm Ischemic Injury Is Reflected in the Release of Injury Markers during Cold Preservation of the Human Liver
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Background: Liver transplantation plays a pivotal role in the treatment of patients with end-stage liver disease. Despite excellent outcomes, the field is strained by a severe shortage of viable liver grafts. To meet high ... -
Wars2 is a determinant of angiogenesis
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Coronary flow (CF) measured ex vivo is largely determined by capillary density that reflects angiogenic vessel formation in the heart in vivo. Here we exploit this relationship and show that CF in the rat is influenced by ... -
Water-Exchange-Modified Kinetic Parameters from Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI as Prognostic Biomarkers of Survival in Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treated with Antiangiogenic Monotherapy
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Background: To find prognostic biomarkers in pretreatment dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) water-exchange-modified (WX) kinetic parameters for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with antiangiogenic ... -
Wavefront image sensor chip
(Optical Society of America, 2010)We report the implementation of an image sensor chip, termed wavefront image sensor chip (WIS), that can measure both intensity/amplitude and phase front variations of a light wave separately and quantitatively. By monitoring ... -
Wavelength-Encoded Laser Particles for Massively Multiplexed Cell Tagging
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-07-22)Large-scale single-cell analyses have become increasingly important given the role of cellular heterogeneity in complex biological systems. However, no current techniques enable optical imaging of uniquely-tagged individual ... -
Wavelength-Encoded Laser Particles for Massively-Multiplexed Cell Tagging
(Springer Nature, 2018-11-07)Large-scale single-cell analyses have become increasingly important given the role of cellular heterogeneity in complex biological systems. However, no current techniques enable optical imaging of uniquely-tagged individual ... -
“We Are Not Really Marketing Mental Health”: Mental Health Advocacy in Zimbabwe
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Introduction: Few people with mental disorders in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) receive treatment, in part because mental disorders are highly stigmatized and do not enjoy priority and resources commensurate with ... -
Weather-based prediction of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in epidemic-prone regions of Ethiopia I. Patterns of lagged weather effects reflect biological mechanisms
(BioMed Central, 2004)Background: Malaria epidemics due to Plasmodium falciparum are reported frequently in the East African highlands with high case fatality rates. There have been formal attempts to predict epidemics by the use of climatic ... -
Weather-Based Prediction of Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria in Epidemic-Prone Regions of Ethiopia II. Weather-Based Prediction Systems Perform Comparably to Early Detection Systems in Identifying Times for Interventions
(BioMed Central, 2004)Background: Timely and accurate information about the onset of malaria epidemics is essential for effective control activities in epidemic-prone regions. Early warning methods that provide earlier alerts (usually by the ... -
A Web-Based Laboratory Information System to Improve Quality of Care of Tuberculosis Patients in Peru: Functional Requirements, Implementation and Usage Statistics
(BioMed Central, 2007)Background: Multi-drug resistant tuberculosis patients in resource-poor settings experience large delays in starting appropriate treatment and may not be monitored appropriately due to an overburdened laboratory system, ... -
A Web-Based Normative Calculator for the Uniform Data Set (UDS) Neuropsychological Test Battery
(BioMed Central, 2011)Introduction: With the recent publication of new criteria for the diagnosis of preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD), there is a need for neuropsychological tools that take premorbid functioning into account in order to ... -
Weighing the Impact of CPAP Therapy on Body Mass in Persons With OSA
(Elsevier BV, 2019-04)Several studies have demonstrated that when used adequately, CPAP therapy mitigates several negative consequences of OSA, including excessive sleepiness and hypertension, and improves quality of life.1,2 However, concerning ... -
Weight Loss, Saline Loading, and the Natriuretic Peptide System
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2015)Background-—In epidemiologic studies, obesity has been associated with reduced natriuretic peptide (NP) concentrations. Reduced NP production could impair the ability of obese individuals to respond to salt loads, increasing ... -
Weight- Perception in Male Career Firefighters and its Association with Cardiovascular Risk Factors
(BioMed Central, 2012)Background: The prevalence of obesity has reached epidemic proportions worldwide, and is also increasing among public safety professionals like firefighters who are expected to be fit and more active. The present study ... -
A weighted genetic risk score using all known susceptibility variants to estimate rheumatoid arthritis risk
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2015)Background: There is currently great interest in the incorporation of genetic susceptibility loci into screening models to identify individuals at high risk of disease. Here, we present the first risk prediction model ... -
Weighted STOP-Bang and screening for sleep-disordered breathing
(Springer Nature, 2015)BACKGROUND: STOP-Bang is a tool for predicting the likelihood for sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). In the conventional score, all variables are dichotomous. Our aim was to identify whether modifying the STOP-Bang scoring ... -
