A conceptual framework for patient-centered fertility treatment.
(Reproductive health, 2017-09-07)
BACKGROUND:Patient-centered care is a pillar of quality health care and is important
to patients experiencing infertility. In this study we used empirical, in-depth data
on couples' experiences of infertility treatment decision ...
Hybrid de novo genome assembly and centromere characterization of the gray mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus).
(BMC biology, 2017-11-16)
The de novo assembly of repeat-rich mammalian genomes using only high-throughput short
read sequencing data typically results in highly fragmented genome assemblies that
limit downstream applications. Here, we present an ...
Cell type-specific changes in retinal ganglion cell function induced by rod death and cone reorganization in rats.
(Journal of neurophysiology, 2017-07)
We have determined the impact of rod death and cone reorganization on the spatiotemporal
receptive fields (RFs) and spontaneous activity of distinct retinal ganglion cell
(RGC) types. We compared RGC function between healthy ...
Benefit of Ezetimibe Added to Simvastatin in Reduced Kidney Function.
(J Am Soc Nephrol, 2017-10)
Efficacy of statin-based therapies in reducing cardiovascular mortality in individuals
with CKD seems to diminish as eGFR declines. The strongest evidence supporting the
cardiovascular benefit of statins in individuals with ...
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 ...
Interpreting Incidentally Identified Variants in Genes Associated With Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia in a Large Cohort of Clinical Whole-Exome Genetic Test Referrals.
(Circulation. Arrhythmia and electrophysiology, 2017-04)
BACKGROUND:The rapid expansion of genetic testing has led to increased utilization
of clinical whole-exome sequencing (WES). Clinicians and genetic researchers are being
faced with assessing risk of disease vulnerability ...
Hypertension Susceptibility Loci are Associated with Anthracycline-related Cardiotoxicity in Long-term Childhood Cancer Survivors.
(Scientific reports, 2017-08-29)
Anthracycline-based chemotherapy is associated with dose-dependent, irreversible damage
to the heart. Childhood cancer survivors with hypertension after anthracycline exposure
are at increased risk of cardiotoxicity, leading ...
Cardiovascular comorbidities and survival of lung cancer patients: Medicare data based analysis.
(Lung Cancer, 2017-06-05)
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the role of cardiovascular disease (CVD) comorbidity in survival
of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The impact
of seven CVDs (at the time of NSCLC diagnosis ...
Validation of the Hebrew version of the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale.
(Parkinsonism & related disorders, 2017-12)
The Movement Disorders Society (MDS) published the English new Unified Parkinson's
Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) as the official benchmark scale for Parkinson's disease
(PD) in 2008. We aimed to validate the Hebrew version ...
Vitamin B12 and Homocysteine Associations with Gait Speed in Older Adults: The Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging.
(The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2017-01)
This study aimed to assess the independent associations of serum levels of vitamin
B12 and plasma concentrations of homocysteine with gait speed decline.This study utilized
longitudinal analysis of participants 50 years ...
