Gestational carriers: A viable alternative for women with medical contraindications to pregnancy*
(2013)Objective: Compare the efficacy of surrogate or gestational carrier (GC) cycles to that of autologous in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injections (ICSI) in patients with gynecologic or medical co-morbidities ... -
Gestational diabetes and offspring birth size at elevated environmental pollutant exposures
(Elsevier BV, 2017)BACKGROUND: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with increased availability of glucose and macronutrients in fetal circulation and macrosomia. Therefore, the role of GDM in the association between ... -
Gestational Exposure to Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals and Reciprocal Social, Repetitive, and Stereotypic Behaviors in 4- and 5-Year-Old Children: The HOME Study
(NLM-Export, 2014)Background: Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may be involved in the etiology of autism spectrum disorders, but identifying relevant chemicals within mixtures of EDCs is difficult. Objective: Our goal was to identify ... -
Getting Black Men to Undergo Prostate Cancer Screening: The Role of Social Capital
(, 2015)Despite higher rates of prostate cancer-related mortality and later stage of prostate cancer diagnosis, Black/African American men are significantly less likely than non-Hispanic White men to use early detection screening ... -
Ghana randomized air pollution and health study (GRAPHS): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Household air pollution exposure is a major health risk, but validated interventions remain elusive. Methods/Design The Ghana Randomized Air Pollution and Health Study (GRAPHS) is a cluster-randomized trial ... -
GiniClust: detecting rare cell types from single-cell gene expression data with Gini index
(BioMed Central, 2016)High-throughput single-cell technologies have great potential to discover new cell types; however, it remains challenging to detect rare cell types that are distinct from a large population. We present a novel computational ... -
Gleason Grade Progression Is Uncommon
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2013)Gleason grade is universally used for pathologic scoring of the differentiation of prostate cancer. However, it is unknown whether prostate tumors arise well differentiated and then progress to less differentiated forms ... -
Gleason Score and Lethal Prostate Cancer: Does 3 + 4 = 4 + 3?
(American Society of Clinical Oncology, 2009)Purpose Gleason grading is an important predictor of prostate cancer (PCa) outcomes. Studies using surrogate PCa end points suggest outcomes for Gleason score (GS) 7 cancers vary according to the predominance of pattern ... -
Global Air Quality and Health Co-benefits of Mitigating Near-Term Climate Change through Methane and Black Carbon Emission Controls
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2012)Background: Tropospheric ozone and black carbon (BC), a component of fine particulate matter (PM ≤ 2.5 µm in aerodynamic diameter; PM:2.5), are associated with premature mortality and they disrupt global and regional ... -
Global Assessment of Genomic Regions Required for Growth in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Identifying genomic elements required for viability is central to our understanding of the basic physiology of bacterial pathogens. Recently, the combination of high-density mutagenesis and deep sequencing has allowed for ... -
Global Burden of Double Malnutrition: Has Anyone Seen It?
(Public Library of Science, 2011)Background. Low- to middle-income countries (LMICs) are believed to be characterized by the coexistence of underweight and overweight. It has also been posited that such coexistence is appearing among the low socioeconomic ... -
Global Burden of HIV among Men Who Engage in Transactional Sex: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Background: Men who engage in transactional sex, the exchange of sex for money, goods, or other items of value, are thought to be at increased risk of HIV, but there have been no systematic attempts to characterize HIV ... -
The Global Contribution of Outdoor Air Pollution to the Incidence, Prevalence, Mortality and Hospital Admission for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(MDPI, 2014)Objective:: This study aimed to investigate the quantitative effects of outdoor air pollution, represented by 10 µg/m3 increment of PM10, on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in China, United States and European Union ... -
Global Expanded Nutrient Supply (GENuS) Model: A New Method for Estimating the Global Dietary Supply of Nutrients
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Insufficient data exist for accurate estimation of global nutrient supplies. Commonly used global datasets contain key weaknesses: 1) data with global coverage, such as the FAO food balance sheets, lack specific information ... -
Global Gene Expression Profiling in Whole-Blood Samples From Individuals Exposed to Metal Fumes
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2005)Accumulating evidence demonstrates that particulate air pollutants can cause both pulmonary and airway inflammation. However, few data show that particulates can induce systemic inflammatory responses. We conducted an ... -
Global health initiative investments and health systems strengthening: a content analysis of global fund investments
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background: Millions of dollars are invested annually under the umbrella of national health systems strengthening. Global health initiatives provide funding for low- and middle-income countries through disease-oriented ... -
