A genome-wide association study identifies susceptibility variants for type 2 diabetes in Han Chinese.
(PLoS Genet, 2010-02-19)To investigate the underlying mechanisms of T2D pathogenesis, we looked for diabetes susceptibility genes that increase the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in a Han Chinese population. A two-stage genome-wide association (GWA) ... -
A new algorithm for predicting time to disease endpoints in Alzheimer's disease patients.
(J Alzheimers Dis, 2014)BACKGROUND: The ability to predict the length of time to death and institutionalization has strong implications for Alzheimer's disease patients and caregivers, health policy, economics, and the design of intervention studies. ... -
A new open-access platform for measuring and sharing mTBI data.
(Scientific reports, 2021-04)Despite numerous research efforts, the precise mechanisms of concussion have yet to be fully uncovered. Clinical studies on high-risk populations, such as contact sports athletes, have become more common and give insight ... -
A Preliminary Psychometric Analysis of the Difficulties with Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) Among Autistic Adolescents and Adults: Factor Structure, Reliability, and Validity.
(Journal of autism and developmental disorders, 2022-03)Emotion dysregulation is common among autistic people, yet few measures have received psychometric evaluation in this population. We examined the factor structure, reliability, and validity of a commonly-used measure of ... -
A risk score for in-hospital death in patients admitted with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2013-01-28)BACKGROUND: We aimed to derive and validate a single risk score for predicting death from ischemic stroke (IS), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). METHODS AND RESULTS: Data from 333 865 stroke ... -
Analytical performance evaluation of the Elecsys® Troponin T Gen 5 STAT assay.
(Clinica chimica acta; international journal of clinical chemistry, 2019-08)BACKGROUND:We report the analytical performance of the Elecsys® Troponin T Gen 5 STAT (TnT Gen 5 STAT; Roche Diagnostics) assay. METHODS:Measuring limits/ranges were determined in lithium-heparin plasma samples per Clinical ... -
Application description and policy model in collaborative environment for sharing of information on epidemiological and clinical research data sets.
(PLoS One, 2010-02-19)BACKGROUND: Sharing of epidemiological and clinical data sets among researchers is poor at best, in detriment of science and community at large. The purpose of this paper is therefore to (1) describe a novel Web application ... -
Association of Common Genetic Polymorphisms with Melanoma Patient IL-12p40 Blood Levels, Risk, and Outcomes.
(J Invest Dermatol, 2015-09)Recent investigation has identified association of IL-12p40 blood levels with melanoma recurrence and patient survival. No studies have investigated associations of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with melanoma patient ... -
Associations between genetic variants in mRNA splicing-related genes and risk of lung cancer: a pathway-based analysis from published GWASs.
(Scientific reports, 2017-03-17)mRNA splicing is an important mechanism to regulate mRNA expression. Abnormal regulation of this process may lead to lung cancer. Here, we investigated the associations of 11,966 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ... -
Automated quality control in nuclear medicine using the structured noise index.
(Journal of applied clinical medical physics, 2020-04)<h4>Purpose</h4>Daily flood-field uniformity evaluation serves as the central element of nuclear medicine (NM) quality control (QC) programs. Uniformity images are traditionally analyzed using pixel value-based metrics, ... -
Bayesian inference for genomic data integration reduces misclassification rate in predicting protein-protein interactions.
(PLoS Comput Biol, 2011-07)Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are essential to most fundamental cellular processes. There has been increasing interest in reconstructing PPIs networks. However, several critical difficulties exist in obtaining reliable ... -
Bioengineered human myobundles mimic clinical responses of skeletal muscle to drugs.
(Elife, 2015-01-09)Existing in vitro models of human skeletal muscle cannot recapitulate the organization and function of native muscle, limiting their use in physiological and pharmacological studies. Here, we demonstrate engineering ... -
Biomechanical comparison of plantar-to-dorsal and dorsal-to-plantar screw fixation strength for subtalar arthrodesis.
(Einstein (Sao Paulo, Brazil), 2020-01)OBJECTIVE:To compare screw fixation strength for subtalar arthrodesis. METHODS:Eight matched pairs of cadaver feet underwent subtalar joint arthrodesis with two 7.3mm cannulated screws. Randomization was used to assign screw ... -
Can we understand population healthcare needs using electronic medical records?
(Singapore medical journal, 2019-09)<h4>Introduction</h4>The identification of population-level healthcare needs using hospital electronic medical records (EMRs) is a promising approach for the evaluation and development of tailored healthcare services. Population ... -
Candidate genes on murine chromosome 8 are associated with susceptibility to Staphylococcus aureus infection in mice and are involved with Staphylococcus aureus septicemia in humans.
(PloS one, 2017-01)We previously showed that chromosome 8 of A/J mice was associated with susceptibility to S. aureus infection. However, the specific genes responsible for this susceptibility are unknown. Chromosome substitution strain 8 ... -
Caveat emptor: the combined effects of multiplicity and selective reporting.
(Trials, 2018-09-17)Clinical trials and systematic reviews of clinical trials inform healthcare decisions. There is growing concern, however, about results from clinical trials that cannot be reproduced. Reasons for nonreproducibility include ... -
