Sexual victimization, fear of sexual powerlessness, and cognitive emotion dysregulation as barriers to sexual assertiveness in college women.
(Violence Against Women, 2013-12)
The current study examined sexual victimization and two barriers to young women's
sexual assertiveness: fear of sexual powerlessness and cognitive emotion dysregulation.
College women (N = 499) responded to surveys and indicated ...
Beta2-adrenergic receptor gene polymorphisms as systemic determinants of healthy aging in an evolutionary context.
(Mech Ageing Dev, 2010-05)
The Gln(27)Glu polymorphism but not the Arg(16)Gly polymorphism of the beta2-adrenergic
receptor (ADRB2) gene appears to be associated with a broad range of aging-associated
phenotypes, including cancers at different sites, ...
Rare hereditary COL4A3/COL4A4 variants may be mistaken for familial focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
(Kidney Int, 2014-12)
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a histological lesion with many causes,
including inherited genetic defects, with significant proteinuria being the predominant
clinical finding at presentation. Mutations in ...
Histoplasmosis among hospitalized febrile patients in northern Tanzania.
(Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg, 2012-08)
Histoplasmosis may be common in East Africa but the diagnosis is rarely confirmed.
We report 9 (0.9%) cases of probable histoplasmosis retrospectively identified among
970 febrile inpatients studied in northern Tanzania. ...
Adaptive intervention design in mobile health: Intervention design and development in the Cell Phone Intervention for You trial.
(Clin Trials, 2015-12)
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The obesity epidemic has spread to young adults, and obesity is a
significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The prominence and increasing
functionality of mobile phones may provide an opportunity ...
Genome-wide analyses of exonic copy number variants in a family-based study point to novel autism susceptibility genes.
(PLoS Genet, 2009-06)
The genetics underlying the autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) is complex and remains
poorly understood. Previous work has demonstrated an important role for structural
variation in a subset of cases, but has lacked the resolution ...
Prevalence and correlates of proteinuria in Kampala, Uganda: a cross-sectional pilot study.
(BMC Res Notes, 2016-02-16)
BACKGROUND: Despite the increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in sub-Saharan
Africa, few community-based screenings have been conducted in Uganda. Opportunities
to improve the management of CKD in sub-Saharan ...
Safety and efficacy of ledipasvir-sofosbuvir in black patients with hepatitis C virus infection: A retrospective analysis of phase 3 data.
(Hepatology, 2016-02)
UNLABELLED: Black patients chronically infected with genotype 1 hepatitis C virus
(HCV) have historically had lower rates of response to interferon-based treatment
than patients of other races. In the phase 3 ION program, ...
Schistosome-induced cholangiocyte proliferation and osteopontin secretion correlate with fibrosis and portal hypertension in human and murine schistosomiasis mansoni.
(Clin Sci (Lond), 2015-11)
Schistosomiasis is a major cause of portal hypertension worldwide. It associates with
portal fibrosis that develops during chronic infection. The mechanisms by which the
pathogen evokes these host responses remain unclear. ...
Blood lead levels among pregnant women: historical versus contemporaneous exposures.
(Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2010-04)
Blood lead among pregnant women, even at modest levels, may impair offspring cognitive
development. We examine whether blood lead levels (BLLs) result from current versus
historic exposures, among a cohort of pregnant women. ...
