A genome-wide association study of upper aerodigestive tract cancers conducted within the INHANCE consortium.
(PLoS genetics, 2011-03-17)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been successful in identifying common
genetic variation involved in susceptibility to etiologically complex disease. We
conducted a GWAS to identify common genetic variation involved ...
Impaired formation of beta-adrenergic receptor-nucleotide regulatory protein complexes in pseudohypoparathyroidism.
(J Clin Invest, 1984-05)
Decreased activity of the guanine nucleotide regulatory protein (N) of the adenylate
cyclase system is present in cell membranes of some patients with pseudohypoparathyrodism
(PHP-Ia) whereas others have normal activity ...
Meningococcemia in a patient coinfected with hepatitis C virus and HIV.
(Emerg Infect Dis, 2000-11)
We describe the first reported case of meningococcemia in a patient coinfected with
hepatitis C virus and HIV. Hypocomplementemia secondary to hepatic dysfunction may
have enhanced the patient's susceptibility to meningococcal ...
Use of item response theory and latent class analysis to link poly-substance use disorders with addiction severity, HIV risk, and quality of life among opioid-dependent patients in the Clinical Trials Network.
(Drug and alcohol dependence, 2011-11)
BACKGROUND:This study applied item response theory (IRT) and latent class analysis
(LCA) procedures to examine the dimensionality and heterogeneity of comorbid substance
use disorders (SUDs) and explored their utility for ...
Variation in the type and frequency of postoperative invasive Staphylococcus aureus infections according to type of surgical procedure.
(Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol, 2010-07)
OBJECTIVE: To determine the epidemiological characteristics of postoperative invasive
Staphylococcus aureus infection following 4 types of major surgical procedures.design.
Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Eleven hospitals ...
Caloric restriction alters the metabolic response to a mixed-meal: results from a randomized, controlled trial.
(PLoS One, 2012)
OBJECTIVES: To determine if caloric restriction (CR) would cause changes in plasma
metabolic intermediates in response to a mixed meal, suggestive of changes in the
capacity to adapt fuel oxidation to fuel availability or ...
A pilot study of IL-2Rα blockade during lymphopenia depletes regulatory T-cells and correlates with enhanced immunity in patients with glioblastoma.
(PLoS One, 2012)
BACKGROUND: Preclinical studies in mice have demonstrated that the prophylactic depletion
of immunosuppressive regulatory T-cells (T(Regs)) through targeting the high affinity
interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor (IL-2Rα/CD25) ...
Polyclonal B cell differentiation and loss of gastrointestinal tract germinal centers in the earliest stages of HIV-1 infection.
(PLoS Med, 2009-07-07)
BACKGROUND: The antibody response to HIV-1 does not appear in the plasma until approximately
2-5 weeks after transmission, and neutralizing antibodies to autologous HIV-1 generally
do not become detectable until 12 weeks ...
Feasibility and willingness-to-pay for integrated community-based tuberculosis testing.
(BMC Infect Dis, 2011-11-02)
BACKGROUND: Community-based screening for TB, combined with HIV and syphilis testing,
faces a number of barriers. One significant barrier is the value that target communities
place on such screening. METHODS: Integrated ...
Initial HIV-1 antigen-specific CD8+ T cells in acute HIV-1 infection inhibit transmitted/founder virus replication.
(J Virol, 2012-06)
CD8-mediated virus inhibition can be detected in HIV-1-positive subjects who naturally
control virus replication. Characterizing the inhibitory function of CD8(+) T cells
during acute HIV-1 infection (AHI) can elucidate ...
