Association between Amylin and Amyloid-β Peptides in Plasma in the Context of Apolipoprotein E4 Allele
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Amylin, a pancreatic peptide that readily crosses the blood brain barrier (BBB), and amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ), the main component of amyloid plaques and a major component of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology in the brain, ... -
Association between angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker use prior to major elective surgery and the risk of acute dialysis
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Some studies but not others suggest angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) use prior to major surgery associates with a higher risk of postoperative acute kidney ... -
Association between bicuspid aortic valve morphotype and regional dilatation of the aortic root and trunk
(Springer Nature, 2016)Thoracic aortic disease, including thoracic aor- tic aneurysm (TAA), is frequently seen in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). We hypothesized that BAV morphotype would be associated with aortic aneurysm phe- notypes ... -
Association between Body Mass Index and Prognosis of Colorectal Cancer: A Meta-Analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Studies have reported conflicting results on the association between body mass index (BMI) and prognosis of colorectal cancer. Therefore, we have conducted a meta-analysis of prospective studies, which examined the association ... -
Association Between Cigarette Smoking and Acute Respiratory Tract Illness in Young Adults
(American Medical Association (AMA), 1982-07-09)The association of cigarette smoking with the occurrence and severity of an acute respiratory tract illness (ARTI) was studied. Clinical data were obtained prospectively on 867 men and women with an ARTI and on a control ... -
Association between Class III Obesity (BMI of 40–59 kg/m2) and Mortality: A Pooled Analysis of 20 Prospective Studies
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Background: The prevalence of class III obesity (body mass index [BMI]≥40 kg/m2) has increased dramatically in several countries and currently affects 6% of adults in the US, with uncertain impact on the risks of illness ... -
Association Between Comorbidities and Outcomes in Heart Failure Patients With and Without an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator for Primary Prevention
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2015)Background: Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy is associated with improved outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF), but whether this association holds among older patients with multiple comorbid ... -
Association between CTL Precursor Frequency to HLA-C Mismatches and HLA-C Antigen Cell Surface Expression
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)Previous studies showed the relevance of the cytotoxic T-cell precursor (CTLp) frequency assay for prediction of the outcome of HLA mismatched hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Recently, it has been shown that HLA-C ... -
Association between Cutaneous Nevi and Breast Cancer in the Nurses' Health Study: A Prospective Cohort Study
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Background: Cutaneous nevi are suggested to be hormone-related. We hypothesized that the number of cutaneous nevi might be a phenotypic marker of plasma hormone levels and predict subsequent breast cancer risk. Methods and ... -
Association between daily antiretroviral pill burden and treatment adherence, hospitalisation risk, and other healthcare utilisation and costs in a US medicaid population with HIV
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2013)Objectives: Lower pill burden leads to improved antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence among HIV patients. Simpler dosing regimens have not been widely explored in real-world populations. We retrospectively assessed ART ... -
Association between dietary acid load and the risk of cardiovascular disease: nationwide surveys (KNHANES 2008–2011)
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Acid–base imbalance has been reported to increase incidence of hypertension and diabetes. However, the association between diet-induced acid load and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in the general population ... -
The Association between Disturbed Eating Behavior and Socioeconomic Status: The Online Korean Adolescent Panel Survey (OnKAPS)
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Background: A limited amount of research, primarily conducted in Western countries, has suggested that higher socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with higher risk of eating disorders (EDs). However, little is known ... -
Association Between Dopaminergic Polymorphisms and Borderline Personality Traits Among At-Risk Young Adults and Psychiatric Inpatients
(BioMed Central, 2010)Background: In the development of borderline personality disorder (BPD) both genetic and environmental factors have important roles. The characteristic affective disturbance and impulsive aggression are linked to imbalances ... -
Association between Food Insecurity and Procurement Methods among People Living with HIV in a High Resource Setting
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Objective: People living with HIV in high-resource settings suffer severe levels of food insecurity; however, limited evidence exists regarding dietary intake and sub-components that characterize food insecurity (i.e. food ... -
Association Between Genetic Variant on Chromosome 12p13 and Stroke Survival and Recurrence: A One Year Prospective Study in Taiwan
(BioMed Central, 2012)Background: The association between ischemic stroke and 2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on chromosome 12p13, rs12425791 and rs11833579 appears inconsistent across different samples. These SNPs are close to the ... -
Association between hemochromatosis genotype and lead exposure among elderly men: the normative aging study.
(2004)Because body iron burden is inversely associated with lead absorption, genes associated with hemochromatosis may modify body lead burden. Our objective was to determine whether the C282Y and/or H63D hemochromatosis gene ... -
Association Between High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Total Stroke by Hypertensive Status Among Men
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2015)Background: High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), a marker of systemic inflammation, may promote atherosclerosis, particularly among adults with elevated blood pressure; however, data are sparse. We examined the ... -
