Pseudomonas aeruginosa vesicles associate with and are internalized by human lung epithelial cells.
(BMC Microbiol, 2009-02-03)
BACKGROUND: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the major pathogen associated with chronic and
ultimately fatal lung infections in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). To investigate
how P. aeruginosa-derived vesicles may contribute ...
Noninvasive monitoring of tissue hemoglobin using UV-VIS diffuse reflectance spectroscopy: a pilot study.
(Opt Express, 2009-12-21)
We conducted a pilot study on 10 patients undergoing general surgery to test the feasibility
of diffuse reflectance spectroscopy in the visible wavelength range as a noninvasive
monitoring tool for blood loss during surgery. ...
Resolving response, decision, and strategic control: evidence for a functional topography in dorsomedial prefrontal cortex.
(J Neurosci, 2009-10-21)
The dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC) plays a central role in aspects of cognitive
control and decision making. Here, we provide evidence for an anterior-to-posterior
topography within the DMPFC using tasks that evoke ...
Development of universal antidotes to control aptamer activity.
(Nat Med, 2009-10)
With an ever increasing number of people taking numerous medications, the need to
safely administer drugs and limit unintended side effects has never been greater.
Antidote control remains the most direct means to counteract ...
Display of cell surface sites for fibronectin assembly is modulated by cell adherence to (1)F3 and C-terminal modules of fibronectin.
(PLoS One, 2009)
BACKGROUND: Fibronectin-null cells assemble soluble fibronectin shortly after adherence
to a substrate coated with intact fibronectin but not when adherent to the cell-binding
domain of fibronectin (modules (7)F3-(10)F3). ...
Histone modifications within the human X centromere region.
(PLoS One, 2009-08-12)
Human centromeres are multi-megabase regions of highly ordered arrays of alpha satellite
DNA that are separated from chromosome arms by unordered alpha satellite monomers
and other repetitive elements. Complexities in assembling ...
Using decision analysis to improve malaria control policy making.
(Health Policy, 2009-10)
Malaria and other vector-borne diseases represent a significant and growing burden
in many tropical countries. Successfully addressing these threats will require policies
that expand access to and use of existing control ...
Dominance, politics, and physiology: voters' testosterone changes on the night of the 2008 United States presidential election.
(PLoS One, 2009-10-21)
BACKGROUND: Political elections are dominance competitions. When men win a dominance
competition, their testosterone levels rise or remain stable to resist a circadian
decline; and when they lose, their testosterone levels ...
Perceived discrimination and health: a meta-analytic review.
(Psychol Bull, 2009-07)
Perceived discrimination has been studied with regard to its impact on several types
of health effects. This meta-analysis provides a comprehensive account of the relationships
between multiple forms of perceived discrimination ...
Reactions to discrimination, stigmatization, ostracism, and other forms of interpersonal rejection: a multimotive model.
(Psychol Rev, 2009-04)
This article describes a new model that provides a framework for understanding people's
reactions to threats to social acceptance and belonging as they occur in the context
of diverse phenomena such as rejection, discrimination, ...
