The Ontogeny of Human Memory: A Cognitive Neuroscience Perspective
(American Psychological Association (APA), 1995)
The relation between early memory development and corresponding changes in brain development is explored in this article. It is proposed that a form of preexplicit memory (dependent on the hippocampus) develops in the 1st ...
Diet, nutrition, and avoidable cancer
(US Department of Health and Human Services, 1995)
In a 1981 review, Doll and Peto estimated that approximately 35% of cancer deaths in the United States were potentially avoidable by the modification of diet but that this percentage might be as low as 10% or as high as ...
Toxic Metals in Aquatic Ecosystems: A Microbiological Perspective
(The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 1995)
Microbe-metal interactions in aquatic environments and their exact role in transport and transformations of toxic metals are poorly understood. This paper will briefly review our understanding of these interactions. Ongoing ...
Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating in Different Cultures
(1995)
Clinical experience and research have moved the field toward greater recognition and differentiation of eating disorders as independent categories of mental disorder. Shorter's historical analysis, however, suggests that ...
Shared Risk Factors for Falls, Incontinence, and Functional Dependence
(American Medical Association (AMA), 1995)
Objective. —To determine whether a set of factors representing impairments in multiple areas could be identified that predisposes to falling, incontinence, and functional dependence.
Design. —Population-based cohort ...
Computer-Based Drug-Utilization Review — Risk, Benefit, or Boondoggle?
(New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM/MMS), 1995)
On October 28, 1990, with little debate, Congress passed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, requiring the states to provide claims-based drug-utilization review to approximately 34 million Medicaid enrollees. The ...
Regulation of smooth muscle cell scavenger receptor expression in vivo by atherogenic diets and in vitro by cytokines
(American Society for Clinical Investigation, 1995)
Scavenger receptor (ScR)-mediated uptake of modified lipoproteins may contribute to the transformation of smooth muscle cells into lipid-laden foam cells during atherogenesis. This study examined the in vivo expression of ...
Nitric oxide decreases cytokine-induced endothelial activation. Nitric oxide selectively reduces endothelial expression of adhesion molecules and proinflammatory cytokines
(American Society for Clinical Investigation, 1995)
To test the hypothesis that nitric oxide (NO) limits endothelial activation, we treated cytokine-stimulated human saphenous vein endothelial cells with several NO donors and assessed their effects on the inducible expression ...
Adenovirus-mediated gene transfer into normal rabbit arteries results in prolonged vascular cell activation, inflammation, and neointimal hyperplasia
(American Society for Clinical Investigation, 1995)
Adenovirus vectors are capable of high efficiency in vivo arterial gene transfer, and are currently in use as therapeutic agents in animal models of vascular disease. However, despite substantial data on the ability of ...
Suppression of retinal neovascularization in vivo by inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) using soluble VEGF-receptor chimeric proteins.
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1995)
The majority of severe visual loss in the United States results from complications associated with retinal neovascularization in patients with ischemic ocular diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, ...
