Geographic differences in the prevalence of hypertension in Uganda: Results of a national epidemiological study.
(PloS one, 2018-01)
BACKGROUND:Hypertension accounts for more than 212 million global disability-adjusted
life-years, and more than 15 million in sub-Saharan Africa. Identifying factors underlying
the escalating burden of hypertension in sub-Saharan ...
Detectable clonal mosaicism from birth to old age and its relationship to cancer.
(Nature genetics, 2012-05-06)
We detected clonal mosaicism for large chromosomal anomalies (duplications, deletions
and uniparental disomy) using SNP microarray data from over 50,000 subjects recruited
for genome-wide association studies. This detection ...
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,
we evaluated whether genetic variants of NER genes ...
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 ...
Selecting renal replacement therapies: what do African American and non-African American patients and their families think others should know? A mixed methods study.
(BMC Nephrol, 2013-01-14)
BACKGROUND: Little is known regarding the types of information African American and
non-African American patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and their families
need to inform renal replacement therapy (RRT) decisions. ...
Loss of PRDM1/BLIMP-1 function contributes to poor prognosis of activated B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
(Leukemia, 2017-03)
PRDM1/BLIMP-1, a master regulator of plasma-cell differentiation, is frequently inactivated
in activated B-cell-like (ABC) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. Little
is known about its genetic aberrations and ...
Tumor necrosis factor-α induced protein 8 polymorphism and risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in a Chinese population: a case-control study.
(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 ...
Chikungunya and dengue fever among hospitalized febrile patients in northern Tanzania.
(Am J Trop Med Hyg, 2012-01)
Consecutive febrile admissions were enrolled at two hospitals in Moshi, Tanzania.
Confirmed acute Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), Dengue virus (DENV), and flavivirus infection
were defined as a positive polymerase chain reaction ...
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 ...
