Correlates of changes in walking during the retirement transition: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis.
(Preventive medicine reports, 2018-09)Retirement from employment involves disruption in daily routines and has been associated with positive and negative changes in physical activity. Walking is the most common physical activity among older Americans. The factors ... -
Collecting and Exhibiting at the Crossroads: In Honor of Eshu
(Material Religion: the journal of objects, art and belief, 2016-09) -
Low-intensity logging and hunting have long-term effects on seed dispersal but not fecundity in Afrotropical forests.
(AoB PLANTS, 2019-02)Hunting and logging, ubiquitous human disturbances in tropical forests, have the potential to alter the ecological processes that govern population recruitment and community composition. Hunting-induced declines in populations ... -

Dynamics around the Site Percolation Threshold on High-Dimensional Hypercubic Lattices
Recent advances on the glass problem motivate reexamining classical models of percolation. Here, we consider the displacement of an ant in a labyrinth near the percolation threshold on cubic lattices both below and above ... -
Bypassing sluggishness: SWAP algorithm and glassiness in high dimensions
The recent implementation of a swap Monte Carlo algorithm (SWAP) for polydisperse mixtures fully bypasses computational sluggishness and closes the gap between experimental and simulation timescales in physical dimensions ... -
Temperature-dependent non-covalent protein-protein interactions explain normal and inverted solubility in a mutant of human gamma D-crystallin
Protein crystal production is a major bottleneck for the structural characterisation of proteins. To advance beyond large-scale screening, rational strategies for protein crystallization are crucial. Understanding ... -
Italian Americans and the Mythology of Crime: “The Godfather Paradox”
(AATI Online Working Papers, 2019-02-03) -
A comparative analysis of EGFR-targeting antibodies for gold nanoparticle CT imaging of lung cancer.
(PloS one, 2018-01)Computed tomography (CT) is the standard imaging test used for the screening and assessment of suspected lung cancer, but distinguishing malignant from benign nodules by CT is an ongoing challenge. Consequently, a large ... -
Monosodium urate crystal induced macrophage inflammation is attenuated by chondroitin sulphate: pre-clinical model for gout prophylaxis?
(BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2014-09-27)Chondroitin Sulphate (CS), a natural glycosaminoglycan of the extracellular matrix, has clinical benefit in symptomatic osteoarthritis but has never been tested in gout. In vitro, CS has anti-inflammatory and positive effects ... -
Semi-quantitative MRI biomarkers of knee osteoarthritis progression in the FNIH biomarkers consortium cohort - Methodologic aspects and definition of change.
(BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2016-11-10)To describe the scoring methodology and MRI assessments used to evaluate the cross-sectional features observed in cases and controls, to define change over time for different MRI features, and to report the extent of changes ... -
Chondroitin Sulfate Inhibits Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 Release From 3T3-L1 Adipocytes: A New Treatment Opportunity for Obesity-Related Inflammation?
(Biomarker insights, 2017-01)Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) overproduction from inflamed adipose tissue is a major contributor to obesity-related metabolic syndromes. 3T3-L1 embryonic fibroblasts were cultured and differentiated into adipocytes ... -
Serum N-propeptide of collagen IIA (PIIANP) as a marker of radiographic osteoarthritis burden.
(PloS one, 2017-01)Cartilage homeostasis relies on a balance of catabolism and anabolism of cartilage matrix. Our goal was to evaluate the burden of radiographic osteoarthritis and serum levels of type IIA procollagen amino terminal propeptide ... -
Association between general joint hypermobility and knee, hip, and lumbar spine osteoarthritis by race: a cross-sectional study.
(Arthritis research & therapy, 2018-04-18)BACKGROUND:Osteoarthritis (OA) prevalence differs by race. General joint hypermobility (GJH) may be associated with OA, but differences by race are not known. This community-based study examined the frequency of GJH and ... -
Effects of a Single Intra-Articular Injection of a Microsphere Formulation of Triamcinolone Acetonide on Knee Osteoarthritis Pain: A Double-Blinded, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Multinational Study.
(The Journal of bone and joint surgery. American volume, 2018-04)Intra-articular corticosteroids relieve osteoarthritis pain, but rapid systemic absorption limits efficacy. FX006, a novel, microsphere-based, extended-release triamcinolone acetonide (TA) formulation, prolongs TA joint ... -
Dietary Patterns Associated with Cognitive Function among the Older People in Underdeveloped Regions: Finding from the NCDFaC Study.
(Nutrients, 2018-04-09)Although dietary patterns are crucial to cognitive function, associations of dietary patterns with cognitive function have not yet been fully understood. This cross-sectional study explored dietary patterns associated with ... -
Ten weeks of high-intensity interval walk training is associated with reduced disease activity and improved innate immune function in older adults with rheumatoid arthritis: a pilot study.
(Arthritis research & therapy, 2018-06-14)BACKGROUND:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease in which adults have significant joint issues leading to poor health. Poor health is compounded by many factors, including exercise avoidance and increased ...
