Firefighters and On-duty Deaths From Coronary Heart Disease: A Case Control Study
(BioMed Central, 2003)Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is responsible for 45% of on-duty deaths among United States firefighters. We sought to identify occupational and personal risk factors associated with on-duty CHD death. Methods: ... -
The First International Mini-Symposium on Methionine Restriction and Lifespan
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)It has been 20 years since the Orentreich Foundation for the Advancement of Science, under the leadership Dr. Norman Orentreich, first reported that low methionine (Met) ingestion by rats extends lifespan (Orentreich et ... -
First-line Antiretroviral Therapy and Changes in Lipid Levels Over 3 Years Among HIV-Infected Adults in Tanzania
(2013)Background. With the rapid rollout of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), there has been an increasing concern about cardiovascular risks related to ART. However, data from human immunodeficiency virus ... -
First-Trimester Urine Concentrations of Phthalate Metabolites and Phenols and Placenta miRNA Expression in a Cohort of U.S. Women
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2015)Background: There is increasing concern that early-life exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can influence the risk of disease development. Phthalates and phenols are two classes of suspected EDCs that are ... -
Fish and fatty acid consumption and the risk of hearing loss in women
(Oxford University Press, 2014)Background: Acquired hearing loss is common and often disabling, yet limited prospective data exist on potentially modifiable risk factors. Evidence suggests that higher intake of fish and long-chain omega-3 (n-3) ... -
Fish Consumption and Mercury Exposure among Louisiana Recreational Anglers

Fish consumption and risk of major chronic disease in men
(Oxford University Press, 2008)Background: Although fish consumption may reduce specific disease endpoints, such as sudden cardiac death and prostate cancer, the effects of major chronic disease on total burden, reflecting sums of effects on a variety ... -
Fish Intake and Risk of Incident Atrial Fibrillation
(2004)Background-Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice and is particularly common in the elderly. Although effects of fish intake, including potential antiarrhythmic effects, may favorably ... -
Fish Intake, Contaminants, and Human Health: Evaluating the Risks and the Benefits
(American Medical Association, 2006)Context Fish (finfish or shellfish) may have health benefits and also contain contaminants, resulting in confusion over the role of fish consumption in a healthy diet.Evidence Acquisition We searched MEDLINE, governmental ... -

A Fit-Fat Index for Predicting Incident Diabetes in Apparently Healthy Men: A Prospective Cohort Study
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of combined cardiorespiratory fitness and waist-to-height ratio in the form of a fit-fat index on incident diabetes risk. Additionally, the independent ... -
Fitness Conferred by BCR-ABL Kinase Domain Mutations Determines the Risk of Pre-Existing Resistance in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
(Public Library of Science, 2011)Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is the first human malignancy to be successfully treated with a small molecule inhibitor, imatinib, targeting a mutant oncoprotein (BCR-ABL). Despite its successes, acquired resistance to ... -
The Fitness Landscape of HIV-1 Gag: Advanced Modeling Approaches and Validation of Model Predictions by In Vitro Testing
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Viral immune evasion by sequence variation is a major hindrance to HIV-1 vaccine design. To address this challenge, our group has developed a computational model, rooted in physics, that aims to predict the fitness landscape ... -
Five American authors on wealth, poverty, and inequality
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2004)There is much to be gleaned from novels concerning the links between wealth and power, inequality and corruption, poverty and illness. A student of social epidemiology will profit as much from close reading of these classics ... -

Fixation in finite populations evolving in fluctuating environments
(The Royal Society, 2014)The environment in which a population evolves can have a crucial impact on selection. We study evolutionary dynamics in finite populations of fixed size in a changing environment. The population dynamics are driven by birth ... -
Flavonoid Intake and Colorectal Cancer Risk in Men and Women
(Oxford University Press, 2006)Dietary flavonoids can inhibit cancer development by protecting tissues against free oxygen radicals and inhibiting cell proliferation, but observational studies of flavonoid intake and colorectal cancer incidence are ... -
