Genetic variants in the liver kinase B1-AMP-activated protein kinase pathway genes and pancreatic cancer risk.
(Molecular carcinogenesis, 2019-04-17)The liver kinase B1-AMP-activated protein kinase (LKB1-AMPK) pathway has been identified as a new target for cancer therapy, because it controls the glucose and lipid metabolism in response to alterations in nutrients and ... -
Validation of a new measure of quality of life in obesity trials: Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite Clinical Trials Version.
(Clinical obesity, 2019-04-16)The Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite (IWQOL-Lite) is widely used in evaluations of weight-loss interventions, including pharmaceutical trials. Because this measure was developed using input from individuals undergoing ... -
Potentially functional genetic variants in the TNF/TNFR signaling pathway genes predict survival of patients with non-small cell lung cancer in the PLCO cancer screening trial.
(Molecular carcinogenesis, 2019-04-15)The tumor necrosis factor (TNF)/TNF receptor (TNFR) pathway is known to influence survival of patients with cancer. We hypothesize that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TNF/TNFR pathway genes related to apoptosis ... -
Genetic Screen in Chlamydia muridarum Reveals Role for an Interferon-Induced Host Cell Death Program in Antimicrobial Inclusion Rupture.
(mBio, 2019-04-09)Interferon-regulated immune defenses protect mammals from pathogenically diverse obligate intracellular bacterial pathogens of the genus Chlamydia Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is especially important in controlling the virulence ... -
Disparities in functional disability among Arab Americans by nativity, immigrant arrival cohort, and country of birth
(SSM - Population Health, 2019-04-01)© 2018 The Authors This study contributes to a growing literature that documents the importance of arrival cohort and country of birth for differentiating the health of U.S. immigrants. We use nationally-representative data ... -
Hydropower revenues under the threat of climate change in Brazil
(Renewable Energy, 2019-04-01)© 2018 Elsevier Ltd This work analyzes the impacts of climate change in the revenues of hydropower plants. One important input for designing and evaluating investment opportunities in hydropower is the water inflows historical ... -
The Effects of Family Functioning on the Development of Posttraumatic Stress in Children and Their Parents Following Admission to the PICU.
(Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, 2019-04-01)Objectives: To report the rate of acute stress and posttraumatic stress among children and parents following PICU admission and the relation between family function and posttraumatic stress. Design: Prospective, longitudinal, ... -
To Block or Not to Block: Role of Ultrasonography in Guiding an Anesthetic Plan for a Patient With Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease
(Aana Journal, 2019-04-01)A 31-year-old man scheduled for a fifth metatarsal head resection secondary to osteomyelitis presented to the preoperative holding area for placement of an ultrasound-guided popliteal nerve block ... -
Potentially functional genetic variants in the complement-related immunity gene-set are associated with non-small cell lung cancer survival.
(International journal of cancer, 2019-04)The complement system plays an important role in the innate and adaptive immunity, complement components mediate tumor cytolysis of antibody-based immunotherapy, and complement activation in the tumor microenvironment may ... -
Genome-wide association studies identify susceptibility loci for epithelial ovarian cancer in east Asian women.
(Gynecologic oncology, 2019-03-19)OBJECTIVE:Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) have focused largely on populations of European ancestry. We aimed to identify common germline variants associated with EOC risk in Asian ... -

(Urology, 2019-03-13)OBJECTIVE:To quantitatively evaluate parental preferences for the various treatments for vesicoureteral reflux using crowd-sourced best-worst scaling, a novel technique in urologic preference estimation. METHODS:Preference ... -
Clinical Features and Outcomes of Patients with Sarcoidosis-associated Pulmonary Hypertension.
(Scientific reports, 2019-03-11)The presence of pulmonary hypertension (PH) significantly worsens outcomes in patients with advanced sarcoidosis, but its optimal management is unknown. We aimed to characterize a large sarcoidosis-associated pulmonary ... -
Probing Computation in the Primate Visual System at Single-Cone Resolution.
(Annual review of neuroscience, 2019-03-11)Daylight vision begins when light activates cone photoreceptors in the retina, creating spatial patterns of neural activity. These cone signals are then combined and processed in downstream neural circuits, ultimately producing ... -
Genome-wide prediction of synthetic rescue mediators of resistance to targeted and immunotherapy.
(Molecular systems biology, 2019-03-11)Most patients with advanced cancer eventually acquire resistance to targeted therapies, spurring extensive efforts to identify molecular events mediating therapy resistance. Many of these events involve synthetic rescue ... -
Ghrelin Regulation of Glucose Metabolism.
(Journal of neuroendocrinology, 2019-03-08)Ghrelin and its receptor, the growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHSR1a), are implicated in the regulation of glucose metabolism through direct actions in the pancreatic islet as well as peripheral insulin-sensitive ... -
Experimental and pan-cancer genome analyses reveal widespread contribution of acrylamide exposure to carcinogenesis in humans.
(Genome research, 2019-03-07)Humans are frequently exposed to acrylamide, a probable human carcinogen found in commonplace sources such as most heated starchy foods or tobacco smoke. Prior evidence has shown that acrylamide causes cancer in rodents, ... -
Differential YAP expression in glioma cells induces cell competition and promotes tumorigenesis.
(Journal of cell science, 2019-03-04)Intratumor heterogeneity associates with cancer progression and may account for a substantial portion of therapeutic resistance. Although extensive studies have focused on the origin of the heterogeneity, biological interactions ... -
