Link between Epigenomic Alterations and Genome-Wide Aberrant Transcriptional Response to Allergen in Dendritic Cells Conveying Maternal Asthma Risk
(Public Library of Science, 2013)We investigated the link between epigenome-wide methylation aberrations at birth and genomic transcriptional changes upon allergen sensitization that occur in the neonatal dendritic cells (DC) due to maternal asthma. We ... -
Linkage of Viral Sequences among HIV-Infected Village Residents in Botswana: Estimation of Linkage Rates in the Presence of Missing Data
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Linkage analysis is useful in investigating disease transmission dynamics and the effect of interventions on them, but estimates of probabilities of linkage between infected people from observed data can be biased downward ... -
The Linkage Outcomes of a Large-scale, Rapid Transfer of HIV-infected Patients From Hospital-based to Community-based Clinics in South Africa
(Oxford University Press, 2014)Background: President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) funding changes have resulted in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) clinic closures. We evaluated linkage to care following a large-scale patient transfer ... -
Linkage to HIV, TB and Non-Communicable Disease Care from a Mobile Testing Unit in Cape Town, South Africa
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Background: HIV counseling and testing may serve as an entry point for non-communicable disease screening. Objectives: To determine the yield of newly-diagnosed HIV, tuberculosis (TB) symptoms, diabetes and hypertension, ... -
The Linked CENTURY Study: linking three decades of clinical and public health data to examine disparities in childhood obesity
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Despite the need to identify the causes of disparities in childhood obesity, the existing epidemiologic studies of early life risk factors have several limitations. We report on the construction of the Linked ... -
Linking prenatal experience to the emerging musical mind
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2013)The musical brain is built over time through experience with a multitude of sounds in the auditory environment. However, learning the melodies, timbres, and rhythms unique to the music and language of one’s culture begins ... -
Linking Student Performance in Massachusetts Elementary Schools with the “Greenness” of School Surroundings Using Remote Sensing
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Various studies have reported the physical and mental health benefits from exposure to “green” neighborhoods, such as proximity to neighborhoods with trees and vegetation. However, no studies have explicitly assessed the ... -
Lipid droplets go nuclear
(The Rockefeller University Press, 2016)Lipid droplets (LDs) are sometimes found in the nucleus of some cells. In this issue, Ohsaki et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201507122) show that the nuclear membrane, promyelocytic leukemia bodies, ... -
Lipid-soluble vitamins A, D, and E in HIV-infected pregnant women in Tanzania
(Springer Nature, 2010)Background/Objectives: There is limited published research examining lipid-soluble vitamins in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected pregnant women, particularly in resource-limited settings.Subjects/Methods: This ... -
Lipidomic Analysis Links Mycobactin Synthase K to Iron Uptake and Virulence in M. tuberculosis
(Public Library of Science, 2015)The prolonged survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) in the host fundamentally depends on scavenging essential nutrients from host sources. M. tb scavenges non-heme iron using mycobactin and carboxymycobactin ... -
Lipidomic discovery of deoxysiderophores reveals a revised mycobactin biosynthesis pathway in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(National Academy of Sciences, 2012)To measure molecular changes underlying pathogen adaptation, we generated a searchable dataset of more than 12,000 mass spectrometry events, corresponding to lipids and small molecules that constitute a lipidome for ... -
Lipochoristoma of the Internal Auditory Canal
(Georg Thieme Verlag KG, 2015)Objective: Lipochoristomas comprise 0.1% of all cerebellopontine angle tumors and may be misdiagnosed as vestibular schwannomas. We describe a lipochoristoma of the internal auditory canal (IAC) and present the salient ... -
Lipoprotein particles and size, total and high molecular weight adiponectin, and leptin in relation to incident coronary heart disease among severely obese postmenopausal women: The Women's Health Initiative Observational Study☆☆☆★
(Elsevier, 2015)Background: We hypothesized that higher concentrations of LDL particles (LDL-P) and leptin, and lower concentrations of HDL particles (HDL-P), and total and high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin, would predict incident ... -
Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 Activity and Incident Coronary Heart Disease Among Men and Women with Type 2 Diabetes
(American Diabetes Association, 2010)OBJECTIVE Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) (Lp-PLA(2)) has been shown to be associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in general adult populations. Because men and women with type 2 diabetes ... -
Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 Activity Improves Risk Discrimination of Incident Coronary Heart Disease Among Women
(Elsevier, 2011)Background This study sought to determine the relation between and discriminative capability of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) (Lp-PLA(2)) and coronary heart disease (CHD) in a large population of disease-free ... -
List randomization for eliciting HIV status and sexual behaviors in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa: a randomized experiment using known true values for validation
(Springer Nature, 2018)Background List randomization (LR), a survey method intended to mitigate biases related to sensitive true/false questions, has received recent attention from researchers. However, tests of its validity are limited, with ... -
Literacy and Learning in Health Care
(American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), 2009)The relationship between literacy and health outcomes are well documented in adult medicine, yet specific causal pathways are not entirely clear. Despite an incomplete understanding of the problem, numerous interventions ... -
Little Evidence for Genetic Susceptibility to Influenza A (H5N1) from Family Clustering Data
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2007)The apparent clustering of human cases of influenza A (H5N1) among blood relatives has been considered as evidence of genetic variation in susceptibility. We show that, by chance alone, a high proportion of clusters are ... -
