Gene expression signatures of radiation response are specific, durable and accurate in mice and humans.
(PLoS One, 2008-04-02)
BACKGROUND: Previous work has demonstrated the potential for peripheral blood (PB)
gene expression profiling for the detection of disease or environmental exposures.
METHODS AND FINDINGS: We have sought to determine the ...
Meningococcemia in a patient coinfected with hepatitis C virus and HIV.
(Emerg Infect Dis, 2000-11)
We describe the first reported case of meningococcemia in a patient coinfected with
hepatitis C virus and HIV. Hypocomplementemia secondary to hepatic dysfunction may
have enhanced the patient's susceptibility to meningococcal ...
Beta-arrestin-2 regulates the development of allergic asthma.
(J Clin Invest, 2003-08)
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways that is coordinated by Th2
cells in both human asthmatics and animal models of allergic asthma. Migration of
Th2 cells to the lung is key to their inflammatory function ...
Metronomic chemotherapy with daily, oral etoposide plus bevacizumab for recurrent malignant glioma: a phase II study.
(Br J Cancer, 2009-12-15)
BACKGROUND: We evaluated bevacizumab with metronomic etoposide among recurrent malignant
glioma patients in a phase 2, open-label trial. METHODS: A total of 59 patients, including
27 with glioblastoma (GBM) and 32 with grade ...
Treatment with Imatinib in NSCLC is associated with decrease of phosphorylated PDGFR-beta and VEGF expression, decrease in interstitial fluid pressure and improvement of oxygenation.
(Br J Cancer, 2006-10-23)
Elevated intratumoral interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) and tumour hypoxia are independent
predictive factors for poor survival and poor treatment response in cancer patients.
However, the relationship between IFP and tumour ...
Gender differences in the risk of HIV infection among persons reporting abstinence, monogamy, and multiple sexual partners in northern Tanzania.
(PLoS One, 2008-08-27)
BACKGROUND: Monogamy, together with abstinence, partner reduction, and condom use,
is widely advocated as a key behavioral strategy to prevent HIV infection in sub-Saharan
Africa. We examined the association between the ...
A new instrument for measuring anticoagulation-related quality of life: development and preliminary validation.
(Health Qual Life Outcomes, 2004-05-06)
BACKGROUND: Anticoagulation can reduce quality of life, and different models of anticoagulation
management might have different impacts on satisfaction with this component of medical
care. Yet, to our knowledge, there are ...
Early versus delayed fixed dose combination abacavir/lamivudine/zidovudine in patients with HIV and tuberculosis in Tanzania.
(AIDS Res Hum Retroviruses, 2009-12)
Fixed dose combination abacavir/lamivudine/zidovudine (ABC/3TC/ZDV) among HIV-1 and
tuberculosis (TB)-coinfected patients was evaluated and outcomes between early vs.
delayed initiation were compared. In a randomized, pilot ...
Gene expression signatures that predict radiation exposure in mice and humans.
(PLoS Med, 2007-04)
BACKGROUND: The capacity to assess environmental inputs to biological phenotypes is
limited by methods that can accurately and quantitatively measure these contributions.
One such example can be seen in the context of exposure ...
