Personal DNA testing in college classrooms: perspectives of students and professors.
(Genetic testing and molecular biomarkers, 2013-06)
Discourse on the integration of personal genetics and genomics into classrooms is
increasing; however, limited data have been collected on the perspectives of students
and professors. We conducted a cross-sectional survey ...
Strategic allocation of attention reduces temporally predictable stimulus conflict.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2012-09)
Humans are able to continuously monitor environmental situations and adjust their
behavioral strategies to optimize performance. Here we investigate the behavioral
and brain adjustments that occur when conflicting stimulus ...
PhenX RISING: real world implementation and sharing of PhenX measures.
(BMC Med Genomics, 2014-03-20)
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this manuscript is to describe the PhenX RISING network
and the site experiences in the implementation of PhenX measures into ongoing population-based
genomic studies. METHODS: Eighty PhenX measures ...
The dynamics of proactive and reactive cognitive control processes in the human brain.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2014-05)
In this study, we leveraged the high temporal resolution of EEG to examine the neural
mechanisms underlying the flexible regulation of cognitive control that unfolds over
different timescales. We measured behavioral and ...
Steps to Health employee weight management randomized control trial: short-term follow-up results.
(J Occup Environ Med, 2015-02)
OBJECTIVE: To present the short-term follow-up findings of the Steps to Health study,
a randomized trial to evaluate the effectiveness of two employee weight management
programs offered within Duke University and the Health ...
Validation and Identification of Invasive Salmonella Serotypes in Sub-Saharan Africa by Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction.
(Clin Infect Dis, 2016-03-15)
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) cause the majority
of bloodstream infections in sub-Saharan Africa; however, serotyping is rarely performed.
We validated a multiplex polymerase chain reaction ...
Detection of Bartonella species in the blood of veterinarians and veterinary technicians: a newly recognized occupational hazard?
(Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis, 2014-08)
BACKGROUND: Bartonella species are important emerging pathogens in human and veterinary

frequent animal contact and arthropod exposures. Detection ...
Association of HIV-1 Envelope-Specific Breast Milk IgA Responses with Reduced Risk of Postnatal Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV-1.
(J Virol, 2015-10)
UNLABELLED: Infants born to HIV-1-infected mothers in resource-limited areas where
replacement feeding is unsafe and impractical are repeatedly exposed to HIV-1 throughout
breastfeeding. Despite this, the majority of infants ...
The human antibody response to the surface of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
(PLoS One, 2014)
BACKGROUND: Vaccine-induced human antibodies to surface components of Haemophilus
influenzae and Streptococcus pneumonia are correlated with protection. Monoclonal
antibodies to surface components of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ...
White matter compromise in veterans exposed to primary blast forces.
(J Head Trauma Rehabil, 2015-01)
OBJECTIVE: Use diffusion tensor imaging to investigate white matter alterations associated
with blast exposure with or without acute symptoms of traumatic brain injury (TBI).
PARTICIPANTS: Forty-five veterans of the recent ...
