Using medical examiner case narratives to improve opioid overdose surveillance.
(Elsevier, 2018-01-30)
BACKGROUND: Current opioid overdose mortality surveillance methods do not capture the complexity of the overdose epidemic. Most rely on death certificates, which may underestimate both opioid analgesic and heroin deaths. ...
Alcohol in combination with illicit drugs among fatal injuries in Sao Paulo, Brazil: An epidemiological study on the association between acute substance use and injury.
(Elsevier, 2018-09-20)
Injury deaths have a major impact on public health systems, particularly in the Latin American region; however, little is known about how different drugs, in combination or not with alcohol, interact with each injury type. ...
Alcohol use among fatally injured victims in São Paulo, Brazil: bridging the gap between research and health services in developing countries.
(2017-04)
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Most studies reporting alcohol use among fatally injured victims are subject to bias, particularly those related to sample selection and to absence of injury context data. We developed a research method ...
Carbonic anhydrase activation is associated with worsened pathological remodeling in human ischemic diabetic cardiomyopathy.
(2014-03-26)
BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus (DM) has multifactorial detrimental effects on myocardial tissue. Recently, carbonic anhydrases (CAs) have been shown to play a major role in diabetic microangiopathy but their role in the ...
A genome-wide screen identifies YAP/WBP2 interplay conferring growth advantage on human epidermal stem cells.
(2017-03-23)
Individual human epidermal cells differ in their self-renewal ability. To uncover the molecular basis for this heterogeneity, we performed genome-wide pooled RNA interference screens and identified genes conferring a clonal ...
An AXL/LRP-1/RANBP9 complex mediates DC efferocytosis and antigen cross-presentation in vivo.
(2014-03)
The phagocytosis of apoptotic cells (ACs), or efferocytosis, by DCs is critical for self-tolerance and host defense. Although many efferocytosis-associated receptors have been described in vitro, the functionality of these ...
Association of different antiplatelet therapies with mortality after primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
(2018-10)
OBJECTIVES: Prasugrel and ticagrelor both reduce ischaemic endpoints in high-risk acute coronary syndromes, compared with clopidogrel. However, comparative outcomes of these two newer drugs in the context of primary ...
A Study of Platelet Inhibition, Using a 'Point of Care' Platelet Function Test, following Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction [PINPOINT-PPCI].
(2015)
BACKGROUND: Rapid coronary recanalization following ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) requires effective anti-platelet and anti-thrombotic therapies. This study tested the impact of door to end of procedure ...

(2015-09)
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of vitamin D supplementation on muscle strength in healthy individuals. DESIGN: A systematic review with meta-analysis. METHODS: In October 2013 a computerised literature search of ...
