Integrating quantitative and qualitative methodologies for the assessment of health care systems: emergency medicine in post-conflict Serbia
(BioMed Central, 2005)Background: Due to the complexity of health system reform in the post-conflict, post-disaster, and development settings, attempts to restructure health services are fraught with pitfalls that are often unanticipated because ... -
Integrating regulatory motif discovery and genome-wide expression analysis
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003)We propose motif regressor for discovering sequence motifs upstream of genes that undergo expression changes in a given condition. The method combines the advantages of matrix-based motif finding and oligomer motif-expression ... -
Integrating transcriptional and protein interaction networks to prioritize condition-specific master regulators
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Genome-wide libraries of yeast deletion strains have been used to screen for genes that drive phenotypes such as stress response. A surprising observation emerging from these studies is that the genes with the ... -
Integration of antenatal care services with health programmes in low– and middle–income countries: systematic review
(Edinburgh University Global Health Society, 2016)Background: Antenatal care (ANC) presents a potentially valuable platform for integrated delivery of additional health services for pregnant women–services that are vital to reduce the persistently high rates of maternal ... -
Integration of family planning with maternal health services: an opportunity to increase postpartum modern contraceptive use in urban Uttar Pradesh, India
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2016)Background: Maternal health (MH) services provide an invaluable opportunity to inform and educate women about family planning (FP). It is expected that this would enable women to choose an appropriate method and initiate ... -
An Integration of Genome-Wide Association Study and Gene Expression Profiling to Prioritize the Discovery of Novel Susceptibility Loci for Osteoporosis-Related Traits
(Public Library of Science, 2010)Osteoporosis is a complex disorder and commonly leads to fractures in elderly persons. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have become an unbiased approach to identify variations in the genome that potentially affect ... -
Integration of Molecular Pathology, Epidemiology, and Social Science for Global Precision Medicine
(, 2016)The precision medicine concept and the unique disease principle imply that each patient has unique pathogenic processes resulting from heterogeneous cellular genetic and epigenetic alterations and interactions between cells ... -
Integration of multiethnic fine-mapping and genomic annotation to prioritize candidate functional SNPs at prostate cancer susceptibility regions
(Oxford University Press, 2015)Interpretation of biological mechanisms underlying genetic risk associations for prostate cancer is complicated by the relatively large number of risk variants (n = 100) and the thousands of surrogate SNPs in linkage ... -
Integrative analysis of gene and miRNA expression profiles with transcription factor–miRNA feed-forward loops identifies regulators in human cancers
(Oxford University Press, 2012)We describe here a novel method for integrating gene and miRNA expression profiles in cancer using feed-forward loops (FFLs) consisting of transcription factors (TFs), miRNAs and their common target genes. The dChip-GemiNI ... -
Integrative Analysis of Pooled CRISPR Genetic Screens Using MAGeCKFlute
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-02-01)Genome-wide screening using CRISPR coupled with nuclease Cas9 (CRISPR/Cas9) is a powerful technology for the systematic evaluation of gene function. Statistically principled analysis is needed for the accurate identification ... -
Integrative analysis of the microbiome and metabolome of the human intestinal mucosal surface reveals exquisite inter-relationships
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background: Consistent compositional shifts in the gut microbiota are observed in IBD and other chronic intestinal disorders and may contribute to pathogenesis. The identities of microbial biomolecular mechanisms and ... -
Integrative genomic analyses reveal clinically relevant long non-coding RNA in human cancer
(2013)Despite growing appreciations of the importance of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in normal physiology and disease, our knowledge of cancer-related lncRNA remains limited. By repurposing microarray probes, we constructed the ... -
Interaction and Modulation of Two Antagonistic Cell Wall Enzymes of Mycobacteria
(Public Library of Science, 2010)Bacterial cell growth and division require coordinated cell wall hydrolysis and synthesis, allowing for the removal and expansion of cell wall material. Without proper coordination, unchecked hydrolysis can result in cell ... -
The Interaction between a Sexually Transferred Steroid Hormone and a Female Protein Regulates Oogenesis in the Malaria Mosquito Anopheles gambiae
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Molecular interactions between male and female factors during mating profoundly affect the reproductive behavior and physiology of female insects. In natural populations of the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae, blood-fed ... -
Interaction between Arsenic Exposure from Drinking Water and Genetic Polymorphisms on Cardiovascular Disease in Bangladesh: A Prospective Case-Cohort Study
(NLM-Export, 2015)Background: Epidemiologic data on genetic susceptibility to cardiovascular effects of arsenic exposure from drinking water are limited. Objective: We investigated whether the association between well-water arsenic and ... -
Interaction between Marine-Derived n-3 Long Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Uric Acid on Glucose Metabolism and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Case-Control Study
(MDPI, 2015)The present case-control study explored the interaction between marine-derived n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC PUFAs) and uric acid (UA) on glucose metabolism and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). ... -
Interaction between Obesity and the NFKB1 - 94ins/delATTG Promoter Polymorphism in Relation to Incident Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Follow Up Study in Three Independent Cohorts
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Introduction: The NF-κB transcription factor family regulates several genes encoding pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory proteins in adipose tissues and in atherosclerotic plaques. The deletion variant allele of the ... -
Interaction of the Onset of Spring and Elevated Atmospheric CO2 on Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) Pollen Production
