Host gene expression classifiers diagnose acute respiratory illness etiology.
(Sci Transl Med, 2016-01-20)
Acute respiratory infections caused by bacterial or viral pathogens are among the
most common reasons for seeking medical care. Despite improvements in pathogen-based
diagnostics, most patients receive inappropriate antibiotics. ...
Protocol for implementation of family health history collection and decision support into primary care using a computerized family health history system.
(BMC Health Serv Res, 2011-10-11)
BACKGROUND: The CDC's Family History Public Health Initiative encourages adoption
and increase awareness of family health history. To meet these goals and develop a
personalized medicine implementation science research agenda, ...
Gene expression-based classifiers identify Staphylococcus aureus infection in mice and humans.
(PLoS One, 2013)
Staphylococcus aureus causes a spectrum of human infection. Diagnostic delays and
uncertainty lead to treatment delays and inappropriate antibiotic use. A growing literature
suggests the host's inflammatory response to the ...
Potential Cost-effectiveness of Early Identification of Hospital-acquired Infection in Critically Ill Patients.
(Ann Am Thorac Soc, 2016-03)
RATIONALE: Limitations in methods for the rapid diagnosis of hospital-acquired infections
often delay initiation of effective antimicrobial therapy. New diagnostic approaches
offer potential clinical and cost-related improvements ...
Effect of genetic testing for risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus on health behaviors and outcomes: study rationale, development and design.
(BMC Health Serv Res, 2012-01-18)
BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes is a prevalent chronic condition globally that results
in extensive morbidity, decreased quality of life, and increased health services utilization.
Lifestyle changes can prevent the development ...
Temporal dynamics of host molecular responses differentiate symptomatic and asymptomatic influenza a infection.
(PLoS Genet, 2011-08)
Exposure to influenza viruses is necessary, but not sufficient, for healthy human
hosts to develop symptomatic illness. The host response is an important determinant
of disease progression. In order to delineate host molecular ...
Association of a peripheral blood metabolic profile with coronary artery disease and risk of subsequent cardiovascular events.
(Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2010-04)
BACKGROUND: Molecular tools may provide insight into cardiovascular risk. We assessed
whether metabolites discriminate coronary artery disease (CAD) and predict risk of
cardiovascular events. METHODS AND RESULTS: We performed ...
