A new highly penetrant form of obesity due to deletions on chromosome 16p11.2.
(2009-12)
Obesity has become a major worldwide challenge to public health, owing to an interaction between the Western 'obesogenic' environment and a strong genetic contribution. Recent extensive genome-wide association studies ...
Implicit and explicit categorization of speech sounds--dissociating behavioural and neurophysiological data.
(2009-07-15)
During speech perception, sound is mapped onto abstract phonological categories. Assimilation of place or manner of articulation in connected speech challenges this categorization. Does assimilation result in categorizations ...
Renal blood flow during acute renal failure in man.
(2009-07-31)
BACKGROUND: In the critically ill, ischemia secondary to decreased renal blood flow (RBF) is believed to be central to the pathogenesis of acute renal failure (ARF); however, the scientific basis for this conclusion has ...
Intergenerational transmission of glucose intolerance and obesity by in utero undernutrition in mice.
(2008-10-18)
OBJECTIVE: Low birth weight (LBW) is associated with increased risk of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease during adult life. Moreover, this programmed disease risk can progress to subsequent generations. We ...
Gene dosage effects of the imprinted delta-like homologue 1 (dlk1/pref1) in development: implications for the evolution of imprinting.
(2009-02-27)
Genomic imprinting is a normal process that causes genes to be expressed according to parental origin. The selective advantage conferred by imprinting is not understood but is hypothesised to act on dosage-critical genes. ...
Differential regulation of circulating levels of molecular chaperones in patients undergoing treatment for periodontal disease.
(2007-11-21)
BACKGROUND: Evidence is emerging that molecular chaperones, in addition to their intracellular protein folding actions, can act as intercellular signaling proteins with an ability to modulate leukocyte function. Recent ...
Tests for predicting complications of pre-eclampsia: a protocol for systematic reviews.
(2008-08-11)
BACKGROUND: Pre-eclampsia is associated with several complications. Early prediction of complications and timely management is needed for clinical care of these patients to avert fetal and maternal mortality and morbidity. ...
[Comparison of socio-demographic characteristics of patients with PTSD in the four countries of former Yugoslavia following the war].
(2006)
OBJECTIVE: To determine the socio-demographic characteristics of survivors who presented for treatment in therapeutic centers in the four Balkan countries involved in the study by summarizing the results of STOP study ...
Skeletal muscle repair by adult human mesenchymal stem cells from synovial membrane.
(2003-03-10)
We have demonstrated previously that adult human synovial membrane-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hSM-MSCs) have myogenic potential in vitro (De Bari, C., F. Dell'Accio, P. Tylzanowski, and F.P. Luyten. 2001. Arthritis ...
Meta-DiSc: a software for meta-analysis of test accuracy data.
(2006-07-12)
BACKGROUND: Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of test accuracy studies are increasingly being recognised as central in guiding clinical practice. However, there is currently no dedicated and comprehensive software for ...
