(PloS one, 2012-01)
BACKGROUND: Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) has been reported to be associated with autoimmune
and pro-inflammatory response, and genetic polymorphisms of candidate genes involved
in autoimmune and pro-inflammatory response ...

Adult age differences in functional connectivity during executive control.
(Neuroimage, 2010-08-15)
Task switching requires executive control processes that undergo age-related decline.
Previous neuroimaging studies have identified age-related differences in brain activation
associated with global switching effects (dual-task ...

(Journal of affective disorders, 2000-11)
OBJECTIVE:The main aim of this study is to add new evidence on the descriptive epidemiology
of depressed mood, and to investigate suspected determinants for depressed mood in
adulthood. METHODS:The data are from a continuing ...
Polymorphisms of nucleotide excision repair genes predict melanoma survival.
(The Journal of investigative dermatology, 2013-07)
Melanoma is the most highly malignant skin cancer, and nucleotide excision repair
(NER) is involved in melanoma susceptibility. In this analysis of 1,042 melanoma patients,

the escalating burden of hypertension in sub-Saharan ...
Predictive Modeling of Length of Hospital Stay Following Adult Spinal Deformity Correction: Analysis of 653 Patients with an Accuracy of 75% within 2 Days.
(World neurosurgery, 2018-07)
Length of stay (LOS) after surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD) is a critical
period that allows for optimal recovery. Predictive models that estimate LOS allow
for stratification of high-risk patients.A prospectively ...
Peak Timing for Complications After Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery.
(World neurosurgery, 2018-07)
Overall complication rates for adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery have been reported;
however, little data exist on the peak timing associated with specific complications.
This study quantifies the peak timing for multiple ...
Early versus delayed decompression for traumatic cervical spinal cord injury: results of the Surgical Timing in Acute Spinal Cord Injury Study (STASCIS).
(PloS one, 2012-01)
BACKGROUND:There is convincing preclinical evidence that early decompression in the
setting of spinal cord injury (SCI) improves neurologic outcomes. However, the effect
of early surgical decompression in patients with acute ...
