3-[211At]astato-4-fluorobenzylguanidine: a potential therapeutic agent with prolonged retention by neuroblastoma cells.
(Br J Cancer, 1997)An analogue of meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) in which an aromatic hydrogen was replaced with fluorine has been found to possess many properties similar to those of the parent compound. Moreover, 4-fluoro-3-iodobenzylguanidine ... -
5-α reductase inhibitors and prostate cancer prevention: where do we turn now?
(BMC Med, 2011-09-15)With the lifetime risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer so great, an effective chemopreventive agent could have a profound impact on the lives of men. Despite decades of searching for such an agent, physicians still ... -
A Bayesian Approach to Inferring Rates of Selfing and Locus-Specific Mutation.
(Genetics, 2015-11)We present a Bayesian method for characterizing the mating system of populations reproducing through a mixture of self-fertilization and random outcrossing. Our method uses patterns of genetic variation across the genome ... -
A blinded randomized assessment of laser Doppler flowmetry efficacy in standardizing outcome from intraluminal filament MCAO in the rat.
(Journal of neuroscience methods, 2015-02)<h4>Background</h4>Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) is widely used for estimating cerebral blood flow changes during intraluminal middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). No investigation has systematically examined LDF efficacy ... -
A blood-based biomarker panel to risk-stratify mild traumatic brain injury.
(PloS one, 2017-01)Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) accounts for the vast majority of the nearly two million brain injuries suffered in the United States each year. Mild TBI is commonly classified as complicated (radiographic evidence of ... -
A case of frontal neuropsychological and neuroimaging signs following multiple primary-blast exposure.
(Neurocase, 2012-06)Blast-related traumatic brain injury (TBI) from the Afghanistan and Iraq wars represents a significant medical concern for troops and veterans. To better understand the consequences of primary-blast injury in humans, we ... -
A case-control study of airways obstruction among construction workers.
(Am J Ind Med, 2015-10)BACKGROUND: While smoking is the major cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), occupational exposures to vapors, gases, dusts, and fumes (VGDF) increase COPD risk. This case-control study estimated the risk ... -
A cerebellar learning model of vestibulo-ocular reflex adaptation in wild-type and mutant mice.
(The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience, 2014-05)Mechanisms of cerebellar motor learning are still poorly understood. The standard Marr-Albus-Ito theory posits that learning involves plasticity at the parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapses under control of the climbing ... -
A Closed Loop Brain-machine Interface for Epilepsy Control Using Dorsal Column Electrical Stimulation.
(Scientific reports, 2016-09-08)Although electrical neurostimulation has been proposed as an alternative treatment for drug-resistant cases of epilepsy, current procedures such as deep brain stimulation, vagus, and trigeminal nerve stimulation are effective ... -
A cohort study of 4,190 patients treated with low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS): findings in the elderly versus all patients.
(BMC Musculoskelet Disord, 2015-03-01)BACKGROUND: Patient age is one of many potential risk factors for fracture nonunion. Our hypothesis is that older patients (≥ 60) with fracture risk factors treated with low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) have similar ... -
A community-based intervention increases physical activity and reduces obesity in school-age children in North Carolina.
(Child Obes, 2015-06)BACKGROUND: Community-based interventions are promising approaches to obesity prevention, but few studies have prospectively evaluated them. The aim of this study was to evaluate a natural experiment—a community intervention ... -
A comparison of activity patterns for captive Propithecus tattersalli and Propithecus coquereli.
(Zoo Biol, 2016-03)The activity patterns and social interactions of two species of captive sifaka were observed during a 2-year period. Allogrooming was not observed in golden-crowned sifaka and they spent significantly more time resting than ... -
A comparison of dimensional models of emotion: evidence from emotions, prototypical events, autobiographical memories, and words.
(Memory, 2009-11)The intensity and valence of 30 emotion terms, 30 events typical of those emotions, and 30 autobiographical memories cued by those emotions were each rated by different groups of 40 undergraduates. A vector model gave a ... -
A comparison of temperament in nonhuman apes and human infants.
(Dev Sci, 2011-11)The adaptive behavior of primates, including humans, is often mediated by temperament. Human behavior likely differs from that of other primates in part due to temperament. In the current study we compared the reaction of ... -
A conceptual framework for patient-centered fertility treatment.
(Reproductive health, 2017-09-07)BACKGROUND:Patient-centered care is a pillar of quality health care and is important to patients experiencing infertility. In this study we used empirical, in-depth data on couples' experiences of infertility treatment decision ... -
A coprological survey of parasites of wild mantled howling monkeys, Alouatta palliata palliata.
(J Wildl Dis, 1990-10)Fecal samples from 155 mantled howling monkeys (Alouatta palliata palliata) examined at Centro Ecologico La Pacifica, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica, revealed 75 (48%) had parasitic infections. A sampling of nine howling ... -
A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of a Randomized Control Trial of a Tailored, Multifactorial Program to Prevent Falls Among the Community-Dwelling Elderly.
(Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2019-01)<h4>Objective</h4>To perform a cost-effectiveness analysis of a multifactorial, tailored intervention to reduce falls among a heterogeneous group of high-risk elderly people.<h4>Design</h4>Randomized control trial.<h4>Se... -
A craniofacial-specific monosynaptic circuit enables heightened affective pain.
(Nature neuroscience, 2017-12)Humans often rank craniofacial pain as more severe than body pain. Evidence suggests that a stimulus of the same intensity induces stronger pain in the face than in the body. However, the underlying neural circuitry for ... -
A cross-sectional exploratory study of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of emergency health care providers in the assessment of child maltreatment in Maputo, Mozambique.
(BMC emergency medicine, 2018-05-09)BACKGROUND:In Mozambique, and other low-income countries (LICs), there is little information on the burden of child maltreatment (CM). Emergency care services (ECS) play an important role in recognizing, treating, and intervening ... -
