Switching HIV Treatment in Adults Based on CD4 Count Versus Viral Load Monitoring: A Randomized, Non-Inferiority Trial in Thailand
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Background: Viral load (VL) is recommended for monitoring the response to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) but is not routinely available in most low- and middle-income countries. The purpose of the study was ... -
Symptoms of anxiety and risk of coronary heart disease. The Normative Aging Study
(, 1994)Background Several studies have suggested an increased risk of fatal coronary heart disease (CHD) among patients with panic disorder, phobic anxiety, and other anxiety disorders. We prospectively examined this association ... -
Synchronized age-related gene expression changes across multiple tissues in human and the link to complex diseases
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)Aging is one of the most important biological processes and is a known risk factor for many age-related diseases in human. Studying age-related transcriptomic changes in tissues across the whole body can provide valuable ... -
Synchrotron x-ray imaging of pulmonary alveoli in respiration in live intact mice
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)Despite nearly a half century of studies, it has not been fully understood how pulmonary alveoli, the elementary gas exchange units in mammalian lungs, inflate and deflate during respiration. Understanding alveolar dynamics ... -
Synergistic effects of neck circumference and metabolic risk factors on insulin resistance: the Cardiometabolic Risk in Chinese (CRC) study
(BioMed Central, 2014)Objectives: Recent studies have associated neck circumference (NC) with insulin resistance (IR). We examined whether such relation was modified by other metabolic risk factors. Methods: The study samples were from a ... -
Synergistic Effects of Serum Uric Acid and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors on Early Stage Atherosclerosis: The Cardiometabolic Risk in Chinese Study
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Objective: To comprehensively examine the associations of serum uric acid (SUA) with central and peripheral arterial stiffness in Chinese adults, and particularly assess the interactions between SUA and other cardiometabolic ... -
Synergistic effects of traffic-related air pollution and exposure to violence on urban asthma etiology
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2007)Background: Disproportionate life stress and consequent physiologic alteration (i.e., immune dysregulation) has been proposed as a major pathway linking socioeconomic position, environmental exposures, and health disparities. ... -
Syphilis and Hepatitis B Co-infection among HIV-Infected, Sex-Trafficked Women and Girls, Nepal
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2008)Sex trafficking may play a major role in spread of HIV across South Asia. We investigated co-infection with HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases among 246 sex-trafficked women and girls from Nepal. Those who were ... -
Syphilis Predicts HIV Incidence Among Men and Transgender Women Who Have Sex With Men in a Preexposure Prophylaxis Trial
(Oxford University Press, 2014)Background. Syphilis infection may potentiate transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We sought to determine the extent to which HIV acquisition was associated with syphilis infection within an HIV preexposure ... -
A System for Household Enumeration and Re-identification in Densely Populated Slums to Facilitate Community Research, Education, and Advocacy
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Background: We devised and implemented an innovative Location-Based Household Coding System (LBHCS) appropriate to a densely populated informal settlement in Mumbai, India. Methods and Findings: LBHCS codes were designed ... -
Systematic analysis of funding awarded for antimicrobial resistance research to institutions in the UK, 1997–2010
(Oxford University Press, 2013)Objectives: To assess the level of research funding awarded to UK institutions specifically for antimicrobial resistance-related research and how closely the topics funded relate to the clinical and public health burden ... -
Systematic analysis of funding awarded for mycology research to institutions in the UK, 1997–2010
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2014)Objectives: Fungal infections cause significant global morbidity and mortality. We have previously described the UK investments in global infectious disease research, and here our objective is to describe the investments ... -
Systematic analysis of funding awarded to institutions in the United Kingdom for infectious disease research, 1997–2010
(SAGE Publications, 2015)Summary Objectives: This study aimed to assess the research investments made to UK institutions for all infectious disease research and identify the direction of spend by institution. Design: Systematic analysis. Databases ... -
A systematic approach identifies FOXA1 as a key factor in the loss of epithelial traits during the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in lung cancer
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background: The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition is an important mechanism in cancer metastasis. Although transcription factors including SNAIL, SLUG, and TWIST1 regulate the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, other ... -
Systematic Curation of miRBase Annotation Using Integrated Small RNA High-Throughput Sequencing Data for C. elegans and Drosophila
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2011)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of 20–23 nucleotide small RNAs that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally in animals and plants. Annotation of miRNAs by the miRNA database (miRBase) has largely relied on computational ... -
Systematic Evaluation of Factors Influencing ChIP-Seq Fidelity
(Nature Publishing Group, 2012)We performed a systematic evaluation of how variations in sequencing depth and other parameters influence interpretation of Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) experiments. Using Drosophila ... -
