Predictors of latent tuberculosis treatment initiation and completion at a U.S. public health clinic: a prospective cohort study.
(BMC Public Health, 2012-06-21)
BACKGROUND: Treatment of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is a key component in
U.S. tuberculosis control, assisted by recent improvements in LTBI diagnostics and
therapeutic regimens. Effectiveness of LTBI therapy, ...
Dietary Patterns Associated with Cognitive Function among the Older People in Underdeveloped Regions: Finding from the NCDFaC Study.
(Nutrients, 2018-04-09)
Although dietary patterns are crucial to cognitive function, associations of dietary
patterns with cognitive function have not yet been fully understood. This cross-sectional
study explored dietary patterns associated with ...
Trends in Drug Use-Associated Infective Endocarditis and Heart Valve Surgery, 2007 to 2017: A Study of Statewide Discharge Data.
(Annals of internal medicine, 2019-01)
Background:Drug use-associated infective endocarditis (DUA-IE) is increasing as a
result of the opioid epidemic. Infective endocarditis may require valve surgery, but
surgical treatment of DUA-IE has invoked controversy, ...
Fibroblast growth factor23 is associated with axonal integrity and neural network architecture in the human frontal lobes.
(PloS one, 2018-01)
Elevated levels of FGF23 in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are associated
with adverse health outcomes, such as increased mortality, large vessel disease, and
reduced white matter volume, cardiovascular and ...
C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, and cardiovascular disease prediction.
(The New England journal of medicine, 2012-10)
There is debate about the value of assessing levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and
other biomarkers of inflammation for the prediction of first cardiovascular events.We
analyzed data from 52 prospective studies that included ...
Associations of potentially functional variants in IL-6, JAKs and STAT3 with gastric cancer risk in an eastern Chinese population.
(Oncotarget, 2016-05)
The interleukin-6 (IL-6)/JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway plays a central role in inflammation-mediated
cancers, including gastric cancer (GCa). We evaluated associations between 10 potentially
functional single nucleotide ...
A novel inflammatory biomarker, GlycA, associates with disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis and cardio-metabolic risk in BMI-matched controls.
(Arthritis Res Ther, 2016-04-12)
BACKGROUND: RA and CVD both have inflammation as part of the underlying biology. Our
objective was to explore the relationships of GlycA, a measure of glycosylated acute
phase proteins, with inflammation and cardiometabolic ...
Pri-miR-124 rs531564 and pri-miR-34b/c rs4938723 polymorphisms are associated with decreased risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in Chinese populations.
(PloS one, 2014-01)
MicroRNAs are a new class of small non-protein-coding RNAs that sometimes function
as tumor suppressors or oncogenes. Aberrant expression and structural alteration of
microRNAs have been reported to be involved in tumorigenesis ...
Risk Factors for Heart Failure in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: The CRIC (Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort) Study.
(Journal of the American Heart Association, 2017-05-17)
BACKGROUND:Heart failure is common in patients with chronic kidney disease. We studied
risk factors for incident heart failure among 3557 participants in the CRIC (Chronic
Renal Insufficiency Cohort) Study. METHODS ...
National trends and characteristics of inpatient detoxification for drug use disorders in the United States.
(BMC public health, 2018-08-29)
BACKGROUND:Prior studies indicate that the opportunity from detoxification to engage
in subsequent drug use disorder (DUD) treatment may be missed. This study examined
national trends and characteristics of inpatient ...
