Alterations in cardiac adrenergic signaling and calcium cycling differentially affect the progression of cardiomyopathy.
(J Clin Invest, 2001-04)The medical treatment of chronic heart failure has undergone a dramatic transition in the past decade. Short-term approaches for altering hemodynamics have given way to long-term, reparative strategies, including beta-adrenergic ... -

(American journal of ophthalmology, 2020-11)<h4>Purpose</h4>To report baseline visual fields in the Rate of Progression in USH2A-related Retinal Degeneration (RUSH2A) study.<h4>Design</h4>Cross-sectional study within a natural history study.<h4>Methods</h4>Setting: ... -
Bevacizumab continuation beyond initial bevacizumab progression among recurrent glioblastoma patients.
(Br J Cancer, 2012-10-23)BACKGROUND: Bevacizumab improves outcome for most recurrent glioblastoma patients, but the duration of benefit is limited and survival after initial bevacizumab progression is poor. We evaluated bevacizumab continuation ... -
Carotid intima-media thickness progression and risk of vascular events in people with diabetes: results from the PROG-IMT collaboration.
(Diabetes care, 2015-10)<h4>Objective</h4>Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a marker of subclinical organ damage and predicts cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in the general population. It has also been associated with vascular risk in ... -
Common genetic variation and the control of HIV-1 in humans.
(PLoS Genet, 2009-12)To extend the understanding of host genetic determinants of HIV-1 control, we performed a genome-wide association study in a cohort of 2,554 infected Caucasian subjects. The study was powered to detect common genetic variants ... -
Critical role of TNF-α in cerebral aneurysm formation and progression to rupture.
(J Neuroinflammation, 2014-04-16)BACKGROUND: Alterations in TNF-α expression have been associated with cerebral aneurysms, but a direct role in formation, progression, and rupture has not been established. METHODS: Cerebral aneurysms were induced through ... -
CYLD inhibits melanoma growth and progression through suppression of the JNK/AP-1 and β1-integrin signaling pathways.
(J Invest Dermatol, 2013-01)The molecular mechanisms mediating cylindromatosis (CYLD) tumor suppressor function appear to be manifold. Here, we demonstrate that, in contrast to the increased levels of phosphorylated c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (pJNK), ... -
Diet-induced obesity differentially regulates behavioral, biomechanical, and molecular risk factors for osteoarthritis in mice.
(Arthritis Res Ther, 2010)INTRODUCTION: Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of osteoarthritis in both weight-bearing and nonweight-bearing joints. The mechanisms by which obesity influences the structural or symptomatic features of ... -
Estimation and validation of a multiattribute model of Alzheimer disease progression.
(Med Decis Making, 2010-11)OBJECTIVES: To estimate and validate a multiattribute model of the clinical course of Alzheimer disease (AD) from mild AD to death in a high-quality prospective cohort study, and to estimate the impact of hypothetical ... -
Evaluation of the Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization Test to Predict Recurrence and/or Progression of Disease after bacillus Calmette-Guérin for Primary High Grade Nonmuscle Invasive Bladder Cancer: Results from a Prospective Multicenter Trial.
(The Journal of urology, 2019-11)PURPOSE:Single center studies have shown that positive UroVysion® fluorescence in situ hybridization results were associated with recurrence of nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer treated with intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin. ... -
First qualification study of serum biomarkers as indicators of total body burden of osteoarthritis.
(PLoS One, 2010-03-17)BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating chronic multijoint disease of global proportions. OA presence and severity is usually documented by x-ray imaging but whole body imaging is impractical due to radiation exposure, ... -
Heart rate is associated with progression of atrial fibrillation, independent of rhythm.
(Heart, 2015-06)OBJECTIVE: Atrial fibrillation (AF) often progresses from paroxysmal or persistent to more sustained forms, but the rate and predictors of AF progression in clinical practice are not well described. METHODS: Using the Outcomes ... -
Hormone naïve prostate cancer: predicting and maximizing response intervals.
(Asian journal of andrology, 2015-11)Hormone naïve advanced prostate cancer is subdivided into two disease states: biochemical recurrence and traditional M1 (metastatic) prostate cancer and characterized by no prior hormonal therapy or androgen deprivation ... -
Host determinants of HIV-1 control in African Americans.
(J Infect Dis, 2010-04-15)We performed a whole-genome association study of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) set point among a cohort of African Americans (n = 515), and an intronic single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the HLA-B gene ... -
Host genetics and HIV-1: the final phase?
(PLoS Pathog, 2010-10-14)This is a crucial transition time for human genetics in general, and for HIV host genetics in particular. After years of equivocal results from candidate gene analyses, several genome-wide association studies have been published ... -
Implementing diffusion-weighted MRI for body imaging in prospective multicentre trials: current considerations and future perspectives.
(European radiology, 2018-03)For body imaging, diffusion-weighted MRI may be used for tumour detection, staging, prognostic information, assessing response and follow-up. Disease detection and staging involve qualitative, subjective assessment of images, ... -
Isolated Noncompaction of the Left Ventricle in Adults.
(J Am Coll Cardiol, 2015-08-04)Isolated left ventricular noncompaction (ILVNC) is a cardiomyopathy that was first described in 1926 as a "spongy myocardium." The disorder results from intrauterine arrest of compaction of the loose interwoven meshwork ... -
Melanoma-Derived Wnt5a Promotes Local Dendritic-Cell Expression of IDO and Immunotolerance: Opportunities for Pharmacologic Enhancement of Immunotherapy.
(Cancer Immunol Res, 2015-09)The β-catenin signaling pathway has been demonstrated to promote the development of a tolerogenic dendritic cell (DC) population capable of driving regulatory T-cell (Treg) differentiation. Further studies have implicated ... -
Natural Progression of Canine Glycogen Storage Disease Type IIIa.
(Comp Med, 2016-02)Glycogen storage disease type IIIa (GSD IIIa) is caused by a deficiency of glycogen debranching enzyme activity. Hepatomegaly, muscle degeneration, and hypoglycemia occur in human patients at an early age. Long-term complications ... -
