The Color of COVID-19: Structural Racism and the Disproportionate Impact of the Pandemic on Older Black and Latinx Adults.
(The journals of gerontology. Series B, Psychological sciences and social sciences, 2021-02)
<h4>Objectives</h4>The aim of this evidence-based theoretically informed article was
to provide an overview of how and why the COVID-19 outbreak is particularly detrimental
for the health of older Black and Latinx ...
Gaps in Hypertension Guidelines in Low- and Middle-Income Versus High-Income Countries: A Systematic Review.
(Hypertension (Dallas, Tex. : 1979), 2016-12)
A phase I study of ABT-510 plus bevacizumab in advanced solid tumors.
(Cancer Med, 2013-06)
Targeting multiple regulators of tumor angiogenesis have the potential to improve
treatment efficacy. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody directed against vascular
endothelial growth factor and ABT-510 is a synthetic analog ...
Using a Regent Aortic Valve in a Small Annulus Mitral Position Is a Viable Option.
(The Annals of thoracic surgery, 2018-04)
BACKGROUND:Outcome of mitral valve replacement in extreme scenarios of small mitral
annulus with the use of the Regent mechanical aortic valve is not well documented.
METHODS:Records were examined in 31 consecutive patients ...
Trends in functional disability and cognitive impairment among the older adult in China up to 2060: estimates from a dynamic multi-state population model.
(BMC geriatrics, 2021-06-22)
<h4>Background</h4>Available evidence suggests that cognitive impairment (CI), which
leads to deficits in episodic memory, executive functions, visual attention, and language,
is associated with difficulties in the capacity ...
Genome-wide gene-environment interaction analysis for asbestos exposure in lung cancer susceptibility.
(Carcinogenesis, 2012-08)
Asbestos exposure is a known risk factor for lung cancer. Although recent genome-wide
association studies (GWASs) have identified some novel loci for lung cancer risk,
few addressed genome-wide gene-environment interactions. ...
Two-stage genome-wide association study identifies a novel susceptibility locus associated with melanoma.
(Oncotarget, 2017-03)
Genome-wide association studies have identified 21 susceptibility loci associated
with melanoma. These loci implicate genes affecting pigmentation, nevus count, telomere
maintenance, and DNA repair in melanoma risk. Here, ...
Long-term dynamics of death rates of emphysema, asthma, and pneumonia and improving air quality.
(Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis, 2014)
BACKGROUND: The respiratory tract is a major target of exposure to air pollutants,
and respiratory diseases are associated with both short- and long-term exposures.
We hypothesized that improved air quality in North Carolina ...
Pioglitazone in early Parkinson's disease: a phase 2, multicentre, double-blind, randomised trial.
(Lancet Neurol, 2015-08)
BACKGROUND: A systematic assessment of potential disease-modifying compounds for Parkinson's
disease concluded that pioglitazone could hold promise for the treatment of patients
with this disease. We assessed the effect ...
Radiographic severity of knee osteoarthritis is conditional on interleukin 1 receptor antagonist gene variations.
(Ann Rheum Dis, 2010-05)
BACKGROUND: A lack of biomarkers that identify patients at risk for severe osteoarthritis
(OA) complicates development of disease-modifying OA drugs. OBJECTIVE: To determine
whether inflammatory genetic markers could stratify ...
