The miR-184 binding-site rs8126 T>C polymorphism in TNFAIP2 is associated with risk of gastric cancer.
(PloS one, 2013-01)
TNFAIP2 is a crucial gene involved in apoptosis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
in its miRNA binding sites could modulate functions of the miRNA-target genes and
thus risk of cancers. In this study, we investigated ...
[More people live to be very old and with a better functioning].
(Ugeskr Laeger, 2013-10-07)
Death rates for 80+-year-olds are now half of what they were after WWII. The chance
of living past 90 years has gone up by roughly 30% per decade for people born in Denmark
in 1895, 1905, and 1915 - and the later cohorts ...
Provider specialty and atrial fibrillation treatment strategies in United States community practice: findings from the ORBIT-AF registry.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2013-07-18)
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) continues to increase; however,
there are limited data describing the division of care among practitioners in the
community and whether care differs depending on provider ...
Action video game playing is associated with improved visual sensitivity, but not alterations in visual sensory memory.
(Atten Percept Psychophys, 2013-08)
Action video game playing has been experimentally linked to a number of perceptual
and cognitive improvements. These benefits are captured through a wide range of psychometric
tasks and have led to the proposition that action ...
The Danish Twin Registry: linking surveys, national registers, and biological information.
(Twin Res Hum Genet, 2013-02)
Over the last 60 years, the resources and the research in the Danish Twin Registry
(DTR) have periodically been summarized. Here, we give a short overview of the DTR
and a more comprehensive description of new developments ...
Deficiency of α-1-antitrypsin influences systemic iron homeostasis.
(Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis, 2013)
There is evidence that proteases and antiproteases participate in the iron homeostasis
of cells and living systems. We tested the postulate that α-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) polymorphism
and the consequent deficiency ...
Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction risk score in an observation unit setting.
(Crit Pathw Cardiol, 2013-09)
OBJECTIVE: The Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) score is a validated tool
for risk stratification of acute coronary syndrome. We hypothesized that the TIMI
risk score would be able to risk stratify patients in ...
Genome-wide expression profiles of subchondral bone in osteoarthritis.
(Arthritis Res Ther, 2013)
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to evaluate, for the first time, the differences
in gene expression profiles of normal and osteoarthritic (OA) subchondral bone in
human subjects. METHODS: Following histological assessment ...
Embolization of patent foramen ovale closure devices: incidence, role of imaging in identification, potential causes, and management.
(Tex Heart Inst J, 2013)
Transcatheter patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure is an alternative to antiplatelet
or anticoagulative therapy in patients with cryptogenic stroke, and it is associated
with a small incidence of periprocedural sequelae. Because ...
