Daily intake of antioxidants in relation to survival among adult patients diagnosed with malignant glioma.
(BMC Cancer, 2010-05-19)
BACKGROUND: Malignant glioma is a rare cancer with poor survival. The influence of
diet and antioxidant intake on glioma survival is not well understood. The current
study examines the association between antioxidant intake ...
The influence of hepatic function on prostate cancer outcomes after radical prostatectomy.
(Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis, 2010-06)
Prostate growth is dependent on circulating androgens, which can be influenced by
hepatic function. Liver disease has been suggested to influence prostate cancer (CaP)
incidence. However, the effect of hepatic function on ...
Caring for Alaska Native prostate cancer survivors in primary care: a survey of Alaska Tribal Health System providers.
(Int J Circumpolar Health, 2014)
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the constraints of optimizing health care for prostate
cancer survivors in Alaska primary care. OBJECTIVE: To describe the experiences and
attitudes of primary care providers within the ...
Survey of methadone-drug interactions among patients of methadone maintenance treatment program in Taiwan.
(Subst Abuse Treat Prev Policy, 2012-03-20)
BACKGROUND: Although methadone has been used for the maintenance treatment of opioid
dependence for decades, it was not introduced in China or Taiwan until 2000s. Methadone-drug
interactions (MDIs) have been shown to cause ...
Physical Activity, Central Adiposity, and Functional Limitations in Community-Dwelling Older Adults.
(J Geriatr Phys Ther, 2016-04)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Obesity and physical inactivity are independently associated
with physical and functional limitations in older adults. The current study examines
the impact of physical activity on odds of physical ...
Age mediation of frontoparietal activation during visual feature search.
(Neuroimage, 2014-11-15)
Activation of frontal and parietal brain regions is associated with attentional control
during visual search. We used fMRI to characterize age-related differences in frontoparietal
activation in a highly efficient feature ...
Heart rate variability is associated with survival in patients with brain metastasis: a preliminary report.
(Biomed Res Int, 2013)
Impaired heart rate variability (HRV) has been demonstrated as a negative survival
prognosticator in various diseases. We conducted this prospective study to evaluate
how HRV affects brain metastasis (BM) patients. Fifty-one ...
Comparison of a reduced carbohydrate and reduced fat diet for LDL, HDL, and VLDL subclasses during 9-months of weight maintenance subsequent to weight loss.
(Lipids Health Dis, 2010-06-01)
OBJECTIVES: This study compared LDL, HDL, and VLDL subclasses in overweight or obese
adults consuming either a reduced carbohydrate (RC) or reduced fat (RF) weight maintenance
diet for 9 months following significant weight ...
Use of 16S ribosomal RNA gene analyses to characterize the bacterial signature associated with poor oral health in West Virginia.
(BMC Oral Health, 2011-03-01)
BACKGROUND: West Virginia has the worst oral health in the United States, but the
reasons for this are unclear. This pilot study explored the etiology of this disparity
using culture-independent analyses to identify bacterial ...
The architecture of cross-hemispheric communication in the aging brain: linking behavior to functional and structural connectivity.
(Cereb Cortex, 2012-01)
Contralateral recruitment remains a controversial phenomenon in both the clinical
and normative populations. To investigate the neural correlates of this phenomenon,
we explored the tendency for older adults to recruit prefrontal ...
