Combination of Bortezomib and Mitotic Inhibitors Down-Modulate Bcr-Abl and Efficiently Eliminates Tyrosine-Kinase Inhibitor Sensitive and Resistant Bcr-Abl-Positive Leukemic Cells
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Emergence of resistance to Tyrosine-Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs), such as imatinib, dasatinib and nilotinib, in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) demands new therapeutic strategies. We and others have previously established ... -
Combination of Diabetes Risk Factors and Hepatic Steatosis in Chinese: The Cardiometabolic Risk in Chinese (CRC) Study
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Aims Hepatic steatosis has been related to insulin resistance and increased diabetes risk. We assessed whether combination of diabetes risk factors, evaluated by the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score, was associated with risk ... -
A combination SMS and transportation reimbursement intervention to improve HIV care following abnormal CD4 test results in rural Uganda: a prospective observational cohort study
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Up to 50 % of HIV-infected persons in sub-Saharan Africa are lost from care between HIV diagnosis and antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation. Structural barriers, including cost of transportation to clinic and ... -
Combinatorial Recruitment of CREB, C/EBPβ and c-Jun Determines Activation of Promoters upon Keratinocyte Differentiation
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Background: Transcription factors CREB, C/EBPβ and Jun regulate genes involved in keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation. We questioned if specific combinations of CREB, C/EBPβ and c-Jun bound to promoters correlate ... -
Combined associations of body weight and lifestyle factors with all cause and cause specific mortality in men and women: prospective cohort study
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2016)OBJECTIVE To evaluate the combined associations of diet, physical activity, moderate alcohol consumption, and smoking with body weight on risk of all cause and cause specific mortality. DESIGN Longitudinal study with up ... -
Combined impact of healthy lifestyle factors on colorectal cancer: a large European cohort study
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Excess body weight, physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption and certain dietary factors are individually related to colorectal cancer (CRC) risk; however, little is known about their joint effects. The ... -
Combined impact of lifestyle factors on mortality: prospective cohort study in US women

The Combined Influence of Multiple Sex and Growth Hormones on Risk of Postmenopausal Breast Cancer: A Nested Case-control Study
(BioMed Central, 2011)Introduction: Sex and growth hormones are positively associated with postmenopausal breast cancer risk. However, few studies have evaluated the influence of multiple hormones simultaneously. Methods: We considered the roles ... -
Combined Lymphedema and Capillary Malformation of the Lower Extremity
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2016)Background: Primary lymphedema and capillary malformation are independent vascular malformations that can cause overgrowth of the lower extremity. We report a series of patients who had both types of malformations affecting ... -
A combined reference panel from the 1000 Genomes and UK10K projects improved rare variant imputation in European and Chinese samples
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Imputation using the 1000 Genomes haplotype reference panel has been widely adapted to estimate genotypes in genome wide association studies. To evaluate imputation quality with a relatively larger reference panel and a ... -
Combining Effects from Rare and Common Genetic Variants in an Exome-Wide Association Study of Sequence Data
(BioMed Central, 2011)Recent breakthroughs in next-generation sequencing technologies allow cost-effective methods for measuring a growing list of cellular properties, including DNA sequence and structural variation. Next-generation sequencing ... -
Combining Explicit and Implicit Measures of Racial Discrimination in Health Research
(American Public Health Association, 2010)Objectives. To improve measurement of discrimination for health research, we sought to address the concern that explicit self-reports of racial discrimination may not capture unconscious cognition. Methods. We used 2 ... -
