Genome-wide identification of autosomal genes with allelic imbalance of chromatin state.
(PloS one, 2017-01)
In mammals, monoallelic gene expression can result from X-chromosome inactivation,
genomic imprinting, and random monoallelic expression (RMAE). Epigenetic regulation
of RMAE is not fully understood. Here we analyze allelic ...

The Digital Drag and Drop Pillbox: Design and Feasibility of a Skill-based Education Model to Improve Medication Management.
(The Journal of cardiovascular nursing, 2017-09)
We present the design and feasibility testing for the "Digital Drag and Drop Pillbox"
(D-3 Pillbox), a skill-based educational approach that engages patients and providers,
measures performance, and generates reports of ...
Serum N-propeptide of collagen IIA (PIIANP) as a marker of radiographic osteoarthritis burden.
(PloS one, 2017-01)
Cartilage homeostasis relies on a balance of catabolism and anabolism of cartilage
matrix. Our goal was to evaluate the burden of radiographic osteoarthritis and serum
levels of type IIA procollagen amino terminal propeptide ...

Benefit of Ezetimibe Added to Simvastatin in Reduced Kidney Function.
(J Am Soc Nephrol, 2017-10)
Efficacy of statin-based therapies in reducing cardiovascular mortality in individuals
with CKD seems to diminish as eGFR declines. The strongest evidence supporting the
cardiovascular benefit of statins in individuals with ...
Clinical characteristics and 12-month outcomes of patients with valvular and non-valvular atrial fibrillation in Kenya.
(PLoS One, 2017)
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major contributor to the global cardiovascular
disease burden. The clinical profile and outcomes of AF patients with valvular heart
diseases in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have not ...
