A Novel Method for Assessing Enamel Thickness Distribution in the Anterior Dentition as a Signal for Gouging and Other Extractive Foraging Behaviors in Gummivorous Mammals.
(Folia primatologica; international journal of primatology, 2020-01)Gummivory poses unique challenges to the dentition as gum acquisition may often require that the anterior teeth be adapted to retain a sharp edge and to resist loading because they sometimes must penetrate a highly obdurate ... -
A population model of folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism.
(Nutrients, 2013-07-05)BACKGROUND: Previous mathematical models for hepatic and tissue one-carbon metabolism have been combined and extended to include a blood plasma compartment. We use this model to study how the concentrations of metabolites ... -
Assessments of frailty in bladder cancer.
(Urologic oncology, 2020-05-22)BACKGROUND AND AIMS:The incidence of frailty is increasing as the population ages, which has important clinical implications given the associations between frailty and poor outcomes in the bladder cancer population. Due ... -
Captivity humanizes the primate microbiome.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018-03-01)The primate gastrointestinal tract is home to trillions of bacteria, whose composition is associated with numerous metabolic, autoimmune, and infectious human diseases. Although there is increasing evidence that modern and ... -
Comparative genomics reveals insights into avian genome evolution and adaptation.
(Science, 2014-12-12)Birds are the most species-rich class of tetrapod vertebrates and have wide relevance across many research fields. We explored bird macroevolution using full genomes from 48 avian species representing all major extant clades. ... -
Daily intake of antioxidants in relation to survival among adult patients diagnosed with malignant glioma.
(BMC Cancer, 2010-05-19)BACKGROUND: Malignant glioma is a rare cancer with poor survival. The influence of diet and antioxidant intake on glioma survival is not well understood. The current study examines the association between antioxidant intake ... -
Dental topographic change with macrowear and dietary inference in Homunculus patagonicus.
(Journal of human evolution, 2020-07)Homunculus patagonicus is a stem platyrrhine from the late Early Miocene, high-latitude Santa Cruz Formation, Argentina. Its distribution lies farther south than any extant platyrrhine species. Prior studies on the dietary ... -
Dental topography of the Oligocene anthropoids Aegyptopithecus zeuxis and Apidium phiomense: Paleodietary insights from analysis of wear series.
(Journal of human evolution, 2023-05)Fossil primate dietary inference is enhanced when ascertained through multiple, distinct proxies. Dental topography can be used to assess changes in occlusal morphology with macrowear, providing insight on tooth use and ... -
Diet and Exercise Are not Associated with Skeletal Muscle Mass and Sarcopenia in Patients with Bladder Cancer.
(European urology oncology, 2021-04)<h4>Background</h4>There is limited understanding about why sarcopenia is happening in bladder cancer, and which modifiable and nonmodifiable patient-level factors affect its occurrence.<h4>Objective</h4>The objective is ... -
Dietary Choline, Inflammation, and Neuroprotection Across the Lifespan
(2020)The cholinergic system is intricately linked with hippocampal memory. As well, choline is anti-inflammatory in the brain and periphery (Terrando et al., 2011; Rivera et al., 1998). However, few have analyzed the anti-inflammatory ... -
Dietary inference from upper and lower molar morphology in platyrrhine primates.
(PLoS One, 2015)The correlation between diet and dental topography is of importance to paleontologists seeking to diagnose ecological adaptations in extinct taxa. Although the subject is well represented in the literature, few studies directly ... -
Dietary quality and encephalization in platyrrhine primates.
(Proc Biol Sci, 2012-02-22)The high energetic costs of building and maintaining large brains are thought to constrain encephalization. The 'expensive-tissue hypothesis' (ETH) proposes that primates (especially humans) overcame this constraint through ... -
Dietary vitamin D3 deficiency exacerbates sinonasal inflammation and alters local 25(OH)D3 metabolism.
(PloS one, 2017-01)<h4>Rationale</h4>Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) have been shown to be vitamin D3 (VD3) deficient, which is associated with more severe disease and increased polyp size. To gain mechanistic ... -
Dust accumulation in the canopy: a potential cause of dental microwear in primates.
(Am J Phys Anthropol, 1995-06)Dental microwear researchers consider exogenous grit or dust to be an important cause of microscopic wear on primate teeth. No study to date has examined the accumulation of such abrasives on foods eaten by primates in the ... -
FGF23/FGFR4-mediated left ventricular hypertrophy is reversible.
(Scientific reports, 2017-05-16)Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 23 is a phosphaturic hormone that directly targets cardiac myocytes via FGF receptor (FGFR) 4 thereby inducing hypertrophic myocyte growth and the development of left ventricular hypertrophy ... -
Food, class, and health: the role of the perceived body in the social reproduction of health.
(Health communication, 2013-05)The association between social class and cardiovascular health is complex, involving a constant interplay of factors as individuals integrate external information from the media, health care providers, and people they know ... -
Fueling for Performance.
(Sports health, 2018-01)CONTEXT:Proper nutrition is crucial for an athlete to optimize his or her performance for training and competition. Athletes should be able to meet their dietary needs through eating a wide variety of whole food sources. ... -
Homeostatic imbalance of purine catabolism in first-episode neuroleptic-naïve patients with schizophrenia.
(PLoS One, 2010-03-03)BACKGROUND: Purine catabolism may be an unappreciated, but important component of the homeostatic response of mitochondria to oxidant stress. Accumulating evidence suggests a pivotal role of oxidative stress in schizophrenia ... -
Human milk sharing practices in the U.S.
(Maternal & child nutrition, 2016-04)The primary objective of this study is to describe human milk sharing practices in the U.S. Specifically, we examine milk sharing social networks, donor compensation, the prevalence of anonymous milk sharing interactions, ... -
Hypertension Improvement Project (HIP): study protocol and implementation challenges.
(Trials, 2009-02-26)<h4>Background</h4>Hypertension affects 29% of the adult U.S. population and is a leading cause of heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Despite numerous effective treatments, only 53% of people with hypertension are ...
