(Journal of Palliative Medicine, 2010-04)
Communication practices in physician decision-making for an unstable critically ill patient with end-stage cancer.
(J Palliat Med, 2010-08)
BACKGROUND: Shared decision-making has become the standard of care for most medical
treatments. However, little is known about physician communication practices in the
decision making for unstable critically ill patients ...
Stable ischemic heart disease in the older adults.

The genomic analysis of erythrocyte microRNA expression in sickle cell diseases.
(PLoS One, 2008-06-04)

(PLoS One, 2008-05-07)
Oxidative skeletal muscles are more resistant than glycolytic muscles to cachexia
caused by chronic heart failure and other chronic diseases. The molecular mechanism
for the protection associated with oxidative phenotype ...
