Estimating leptospirosis incidence using hospital-based surveillance and a population-based health care utilization survey in Tanzania.
(PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2013)
BACKGROUND: The incidence of leptospirosis, a neglected zoonotic disease, is uncertain
in Tanzania and much of sub-Saharan Africa, resulting in scarce data on which to prioritize
resources for public health interventions ...
Novel associations of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B gene variants with prostate cancer risk in a multiethnic study.
(BMC Cancer, 2013-11-22)
BACKGROUND: We have previously shown that a functional polymorphism of the UGT2B15
gene (rs1902023) was associated with increased risk of prostate cancer (PC). Novel
functional polymorphisms of the UGT2B17 and UGT2B15 genes ...
The relationship of mental and behavioral disorders to all-cause mortality in a 27-year follow-up of 4 epidemiologic catchment area samples.
(American journal of epidemiology, 2013-11)
Subjects from the Epidemiologic Catchment Area Program, interviewed during 1979-1983,
were linked to data in the National Death Index through 2007 to estimate the association
of mental and behavioral disorders with death. ...
Trends in anemia management in US hemodialysis patients 2004-2010.
(BMC Nephrol, 2013-12-01)
BACKGROUND: There have been major changes in the management of anemia in US hemodialysis
patients in recent years. We sought to determine the influence of clinical trial results,
safety regulations, and changes in reimbursement ...
Genome-wide expression profiles of subchondral bone in osteoarthritis.
(Arthritis Res Ther, 2013)
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to evaluate, for the first time, the differences
in gene expression profiles of normal and osteoarthritic (OA) subchondral bone in
human subjects. METHODS: Following histological assessment ...
Does Medicaid pay more to a program of all-inclusive care for the elderly (PACE) than for fee-for-service long-term care?
(J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci, 2013-01)
BACKGROUND: In rebalancing from nursing homes (NHs), states are increasing access
of NH-certified dually eligible (Medicare/Medicaid) patients to community waiver programs
and Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly ...
The impact of the developmental timing of trauma exposure on PTSD symptoms and psychosocial functioning among older adults.
(Dev Psychol, 2013-11)
The present study examined the impact of the developmental timing of trauma exposure
on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and psychosocial functioning in a
large sample of community-dwelling older adults (N = ...
Variability in the treatment of elderly patients with stage IIIA (N2) non-small-cell lung cancer.
(J Thorac Oncol, 2013-06)
INTRODUCTION: : We evaluated treatment patterns of elderly patients with stage IIIA
(N2) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS: : The use of surgery, chemotherapy,
and radiation for patients with stage IIIA (T1-T3N2M0) ...
Relationships amongst osteoarthritis biomarkers, dynamic knee joint load, and exercise: results from a randomized controlled pilot study.
(BMC Musculoskelet Disord, 2013-03-27)
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the relationships of circulating levels of biomarkers
of cartilage degradation with biomechanical outcomes relevant to knee osteoarthritis
(OA) or biomarker changes following non-pharmacological ...
Genome-wide linkage analysis for human longevity: Genetics of Healthy Aging Study.
(Aging Cell, 2013-04)
Clear evidence exists for heritability of human longevity, and much interest is focused
on identifying genes associated with longer lives. To identify such longevity alleles,
we performed the largest genome-wide linkage ...
