(Journal of orthopaedic research : official publication of the Orthopaedic Research
Society, 2011-01)
Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a cytokine recently shown to be elevated, along with interferon-γ
(IFNγ) and tumor necrosis factor (TNFα), in degenerated and herniated intervertebral

secretion in humans has not been established. ...
Transitional probability-based model for HPV clearance in HIV-1-positive adolescent females.
(PLoS One, 2012)
BACKGROUND: HIV-1-positive patients clear the human papillomavirus (HPV) infection
less frequently than HIV-1-negative. Datasets for estimating HPV clearance probability
often have irregular measurements of HPV status and ...
Mitochondrial mutations in adenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary glands.
(PLoS One, 2009-12-30)
BACKGROUND: The MitoChip v2.0 resequencing array is an array-based technique allowing
for accurate and complete sequencing of the mitochondrial genome. No studies have
investigated mitochondrial mutation in salivary gland ...
Validation and Identification of Invasive Salmonella Serotypes in Sub-Saharan Africa by Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction.
(Clin Infect Dis, 2016-03-15)
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) cause the majority
of bloodstream infections in sub-Saharan Africa; however, serotyping is rarely performed.
We validated a multiplex polymerase chain reaction ...

Exercise-induced pain intensity predicted by pre-exercise fear of pain and pain sensitivity.
(Clin J Pain, 2011-06)
OBJECTIVES: Our primary goals were to determine whether preexisting fear of pain and
pain sensitivity contributed to post-exercise pain intensity. METHODS: Delayed-onset
muscle pain was induced in the trunk extensors of ...
Incidence, patient satisfaction, and perceptions of post-surgical pain: results from a US national survey.
(Curr Med Res Opin, 2014-01)
OBJECTIVE: During the past two decades, professional associations, accrediting bodies,
and payors have made post-surgical pain treatment a high priority. In light of the
disappointing findings in previous surveys, a survey ...

OBJECTIVES: We investigated the impact of statewide job loss on adolescent suicide-related
behaviors. METHODS: We used 1997 to 2009 data from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey
and the Bureau of Labor Statistics to estimate ...
