The global stock of research evidence relevant to health systems policymaking
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background: Policymakers and stakeholders need immediate access to many types of research evidence to make informed decisions about the full range of questions that may arise regarding health systems. Methods: We examined ... -
Global, regional and national sodium intakes in 1990 and 2010: a systematic analysis of 24 h urinary sodium excretion and dietary surveys worldwide
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2013)Objectives: To estimate global, regional (21 regions) and national (187 countries) sodium intakes in adults in 1990 and 2010. Design: Bayesian hierarchical modelling using all identifiable primary sources. Data sources and ... -
Global, regional, and national consumption levels of dietary fats and oils in 1990 and 2010: a systematic analysis including 266 country-specific nutrition surveys
(BMJ Publishing Group Ltd., 2014)Objectives: To quantify global consumption of key dietary fats and oils by country, age, and sex in 1990 and 2010. Design: Data were identified, obtained, and assessed among adults in 16 age- and sex-specific groups from ... -
Globalization and Workers' Health
(American Astronomical Society, 2008)The global integration of economies worldwide has led to increased pressure for "labor flexibility". A notable aspect of this trend has been the rise in non-standard work arrangements, which include part-time work, temporary ... -
Glutathione S-Transferase Mu and Theta Polymorphisms and Breast Cancer Susceptibility
(Oxford University Press, 1999) -
Glutathione S-Transferase Polymorphisms, Passive Smoking, Obesity, and Heart Rate Variability in Nonsmokers
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2008)Background: Disturbances of heart rate variability (HRV) may represent one pathway by which second-hand smoke (SHS) and air pollutants affect cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The mechanisms are poorly understood. ... -
Glycaemic index and glycaemic load in relation to risk of diabetes-related cancers: a meta-analysis
(Cambridge University Press, 2012)Diets high in glycaemic index (GI) or glycaemic load (GL) have been hypothesised to increase the risks of certain cancers by increasing blood glucose or insulin concentrations. We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis of ... -
Glycemic Effects of Moderate Alcohol Intake Among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
(American Diabetes Association, 2007)Objective - In a randomized controlled trial, we assessed the effect of daily moderate alcohol intake on glycemic control in the fasting and postprandial states in patients with type 2 diabetes who previously had abstained ... -
Glycemic index, glycemic load, and dietary fiber intake and incidence of type 2 diabetes in younger and middle-age women
(Oxford University Press, 2004)Background: Increasing evidence suggests an important role of carbohydrate quality in the development of type 2 diabetes. Objective: Our objective was to prospectively examine the association between glycemic index, glycemic ... -
Glycemic Load, Glycemic Index, and Carbohydrate Intake in Relation to Risk of Cholecystectomy in Women
(BMC, 2005)Background: & Aims: High-carbohydrate diets with a high glycemic response may exacerbate the metabolic consequences of the insulin-resistance syndrome. The effect on the incidence of gallstone disease is not clear. ... -
Glycolytic metabolism influences global chromatin structure
(Impact Journals LLC, 2015)Metabolic rewiring, specifically elevated glycolytic metabolism is a hallmark of cancer. Global chromatin structure regulates gene expression, DNA repair, and also affects cancer progression. But the interrelationship ... -
Going beyond the disability-based morbidity definition in the compression of morbidity framework
(Co-Action Publishing, 2014)Background: As originally proposed by Fries, conceptualizing morbidity solely through associated functional limitation/disability (FL/D) remains the most widely accepted metric to assess whether increases in longevity have ... -
Governance Challenges in Global Health
(New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM/MMS), 2013)Global health is at the threshold of a new era. Few times in his- tory has the world faced challenges as complex as those now posed by a trio of threats: first, the unfinished agenda of infections, undernutrition, and ... -
Graft versus Host Disease in the Bone Marrow, Liver and Thymus Humanized Mouse Model
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Mice bearing a “humanized” immune system are valuable tools to experimentally manipulate human cells in vivo and facilitate disease models not normally possible in laboratory animals. Here we describe a form of GVHD that ... -
Grand Rounds: Asbestos-Related Pericarditis in a Boiler Operator
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2007)Context: Occupational and environmental exposures to asbestos remain a public health problem even in developed countries. Because of the long latency in asbestos-related pathology, past asbestos exposure continues to ... -
A graphical model approach for inferring large-scale networks integrating gene expression and genetic polymorphism
(BioMed Central, 2009)Background: Graphical models (e.g., Bayesian networks) have been used frequently to describe complex interaction patterns and dependent structures among genes and other phenotypes. Estimation of such networks has been a ... -
Graphle: Interactive Exploration of Large, Dense Graphs
(BioMed Central, 2009)Background: A wide variety of biological data can be modeled as network structures, including experimental results (e.g. protein-protein interactions), computational predictions (e.g. functional interaction networks), or ... -
Greater Adherence to the Alternative Healthy Eating Index Is Associated with Lower Incidence of Physical Function Impairment in the Nurses’ Health Study
(Oxford University Press, 2016)Background: Physical function is integral to healthy aging, in particular as a core component of mobility and independent living in older adults, and is a strong predictor of mortality. Limited research has examined the ... -
Green Buildings and Health
(Springer International Publishing, 2015)Green building design is becoming broadly adopted, with one green building standard reporting over 3.5 billion square feet certified to date. By definition, green buildings focus on minimizing impacts to the environment ... -
Green Herring Syndrome: Bacterial Infection in Patients With Mucormycosis Cavitary Lung Disease
(Oxford University Press, 2014)Mucormycosis is a life-threatening fungal disease in patients with hematological malignancies. The diagnosis of pulmonary mucormycosis is particularly challenging. We describe 3 mucormycosis cases with an uncommon presentation ...
