(Global Advances in Health and Medicine, 2013)Focus Areas: Integrative Approaches to Care, Experiential Workshop This session will highlight two of the most important, yet frequently overlooked, determinants of heart health: mind-body interactions and nutrition. These ... -
140 Reversing the Epidemic of HIV-1C in Southern Africa with Treatment as Prevention
(JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes, 2014)The epidemic of HIV-1C in southern Africa is characterized by a sustained prevalence that is substantially higher than for other epidemics of HIV/AIDS. Perhaps the best correlate of transmission is high viral load (HVL), ... -
A 19-year-old at 37 weeks gestation with an acute acetylsalicylic acid overdose
(Oxford University Press, 2011)Acute salicylate overdose in pregnancy is potentially fatal for both the mother and fetus and presents a unique challenge in intensive care management. While suggested thresholds exist for hemodialysis in adults with toxic ... -

24-Hour Rhythms of DNA Methylation and Their Relation with Rhythms of RNA Expression in the Human Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Circadian rhythms modulate the biology of many human tissues, including brain tissues, and are driven by a near 24-hour transcriptional feedback loop. These rhythms are paralleled by 24-hour rhythms of large portions of ... -
25-Hydroxyvitamin D and Risk of Myocardial Infarction in Men : A Prospective Study
(American Medical Association, 2008)Background: Vitamin D deficiency may be involved in the development of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease in humans.Methods: We assessed prospectively whether plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentrations are ... -
3-Chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone (MX) and mutagenic activity in Massachusetts drinking water.
(2002)There is limited information on the prevalence of the potent mutagen 3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone (MX) in U.S. water supplies. We measured MX concentrations and mutagenic activity in tap water samples ... -
3D Traction Forces in Cancer Cell Invasion
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Cell invasion through a dense three-dimensional (3D) matrix is believed to depend on the ability of cells to generate traction forces. To quantify the role of cell tractions during invasion in 3D, we present a technique ... -
50-year trends in US socioeconomic inequalities in health: US-born Black and White Americans, 1959–2008
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014-03-16)Background: Debates exist over whether health inequities are bound to rise as population health improves, due to health improving more quickly among the better off, with most analyses focused on mortality data. Methods: ... -

A 25 Year Prospective Study of Plasma Adiponectin and Leptin Concentrations and Prostate Cancer Risk and Survival
(American Association for Clinical Chemistry, 2010)BACKGROUND: Adipocytokines may mediate the association between adiposity and lethal prostate cancer outcomes. Methods: In the Physicians' Health Study, we prospectively examined the association of prediagnostic plasma ... -
A Common 8q24 Variant in Prostate and Breast Cancer from a Large Nested Case-Control Study
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2007)Two recent studies independently identified polymorphisms in the 8q24 region, including a single nucleotide polymorphism (rsl447295), strongly associated with prostate cancer risk. Here, we replicate the overall association ... -
A Comparison of Different Methods for Evaluating Diet, Physical Activity, and Long-Term Weight Gain in 3 Prospective Cohort Studies
(Oxford University Press, 2015)Background: The insidious pace of long-term weight gain (similar to 1 lb/y or 0.45 kg/y) makes it difficult to study in trials; long-term prospective cohorts provide crucial evidence on its key contributors. Most previous ... -
