Obesity susceptibility loci and uncontrolled eating, emotional eating and cognitive restraint behaviors in men and women
(2013)Objective: Many confirmed genetic loci for obesity are expressed in regions of the brain that regulate energy intake and reward-seeking behavior. Whether these loci contribute to the development of specific eating behaviors ... -
Obesity trends by industry of employment in the United States, 2004 to 2011
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Obesity is associated with increased morbidity, occupational injuries, and premature mortality. Obesity also disproportionately affects blacks and socioeconomically disadvantaged workers. However, few studies ... -
Obesity, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular prognosis: from the Partners coronary computed tomography angiography registry
(BioMed Central, 2017)Objective: To investigate the relationship among body mass index (BMI), cardiometabolic risk and coronary artery disease (CAD) among patients undergoing coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). Methods: Retrospective ... -
Obesity, Outcomes and Quality of Care: BMI Increases the Risk of Wound-Related Complications in Colon Cancer Surgery
(Elsevier BV, 2013)BACKGROUND: Obese patients may face higher complication rates during surgical treatment of colon cancer. The aim of this study was to measure this effect at a high-volume tertiary care center. METHODS: All patients with ... -
Obesity, Physical Activity, and Their Interaction in Incident Atrial Fibrillation in Postmenopausal Women
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2014)Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with increased risk of stroke and death. Obesity is an independent risk factor for AF, but modifiers of this risk are not well ... -
Obesity-induced Lymphedema Nonreversible following Massive Weight Loss
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2015)Summary: Lymphedema is the progressive enlargement of tissue due to inadequate lymphatic function. Obesity-induced lymphedema of the lower extremities can occur once a patient’s body mass index (BMI) exceeds 50. We report ... -
Obesity-induced Upper Extremity Lymphedema
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2013)Summary: Obesity increases the risk of upper extremity lymphedema following treatment for breast cancer and can cause lower extremity lymphatic dysfunction in extremely obese individuals. We report the first patient with ... -
Obesity-Related Upregulation of Monocyte Chemotactic Factors in Adipocytes
(American Diabetes Association, 2009)OBJECTIVE—We sought to evaluate the entire picture of all monocyte chemotactic factors that potentially contribute to adipose tissue macrophage accumulation in obesity. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—Expression and regulation ... -
Object Selectivity of Local Field Potentials and Spikes in the Macaque Inferior Temporal Cortex
(Elsevier BV, 2006)Local field potentials (LFPs) arise largely from dendritic activity over large brain regions and thus provide a measure of the input to and local processing within an area. We characterized LFPs and their relationship to ... -
Objective assessment of urban built environment related to physical activity — development, reliability and validity of the China Urban Built Environment Scan Tool (CUBEST)
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Some aspects of the neighborhood built environment may influence residents’ physical activity, which in turn, affects their health. This study aimed to develop an urban built environment evaluation tool and ... -
Objective evidence that small-fiber polyneuropathy underlies some illnesses currently labeled as fibromyalgia
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2013)Fibromyalgia is a common, disabling, syndrome that includes chronic widespread pain plus other diverse symptoms. No specific objective abnormalities have been identified, precluding definitive testing, disease-modifying ... -
An objective function exploiting suboptimal solutions in metabolic networks
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background: Flux Balance Analysis is a theoretically elegant, computationally efficient, genome-scale approach to predicting biochemical reaction fluxes. Yet FBA models exhibit persistent mathematical degeneracy that ... -
Objective Sepsis Surveillance Using Electronic Clinical Data
(Cambridge University Press, 2016)OBJECTIVE. To compare the accuracy of surveillance of severe sepsis using electronic health record clinical data vs claims and to compare incidence and mortality trends using both methods. DESIGN . We created an electronic ... -
Objective Sequence-Based Subfamily Classifications of Mouse Homeodomains Reflect Their In Vitro DNA-Binding Preferences
(Oxford University Press, 2010)Classifying proteins into subgroups with similar molecular function on the basis of sequence is an important step in deriving reliable functional annotations computationally. So far, however, available classification ... -
Objectively measured physical activity and sedentary behaviour and ankle brachial index: Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations in older men
(Elsevier, 2016)Background: Associations between bouts of physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour (SB) and cardiovascular disease, and their mutual independence are not well defined. A low ankle brachial index (ABI ≤0.9) indicates ... -
Objectively measured physical activity, sedentary time and subclinical vascular disease: Cross-sectional study in older British men
(Academic Press, 2016)Low physical activity (PA) and high levels of sedentary time (ST) are associated with higher cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among older people. However, their independent contribution and importance of duration of PA ... -
An Obligate Role of Oxytocin Neurons in Diet Induced Energy Expenditure
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Oxytocin neurons represent one of the major subsets of neurons in the paraventricular hypothalamus (PVH), a critical brain region for energy homeostasis. Despite substantial evidence supporting a role of oxytocin in body ... -
Observational Cohort Study of the Safety of Digoxin Use in Women with Heart Failure
(BMJ Group, 2012)Objectives: This study aims to assess whether digoxin has a different effect on mortality risk for women than it does for men in patients with heart failure (HF). Design This study uses the UK-based The Health Information ... -
An Observational Report of Intensive Robotic and Manual Gait Training in Sub-acute Stroke
(BioMed Central, 2012)Background: The use of automated electromechanical devices for gait training in neurological patients is increasing, yet the functional outcomes of well-defined training programs using these devices and the characteristics ... -
Observational Study of Changes in Epidural Pressure and Elastance During Epidural Blood Patch in Obstetric Patients
(Elsevier BV, 2014)Background During an epidural blood patch, we inject blood until the patient describes mild back pressure, often leading to injection of more than 20 mL of blood. We undertook this study to measure the epidural pressures ...
