The effect of aerobic exercise training in animal model of widespread chronic pain

Sharma, Neena (2006-07-05)

Therapeutic exercises are routinely used to manage chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions, and yet neuromuscular mechanisms of exercise-induced analgesia are poorly understood. It is well recognized that physical ...
Effects of cocaine on SHIV replication in monocyte-derived macrophages

Gadgil, Milind (2006-06-29)

Intravenous drug use and HIV infections are two linked global health crises since needle-sharing is a well recognized mode of HIV transmission. While HIV infection is the leading cause of infectious death among Americans ...
The effects of improvements in chemotherapy and supportive care in the survival of patients over age 60 with acute leukemia

Bradstreet, Eric (2006-07-05)

Background: In 1993, a study was conducted at the University of Kansas Hospital regarding the effect of age on survival in acute leukemia patients between the years 1947 and 1990, which showed improvement in survival ...
Electrical stimulation of cortex improves corticospinal tract tracing in rat spinal cord using manganese-enhanced

Peng, Warner (2006-06-30)

Following bilateral injection of manganese (Mn) into the rat’s motor cortex, electrical stimulation of the cortex is shown to increase the transport, uptake and accumulation of Mn in the corticospinal tract (CST), as ...
Endurance and postural control in people with chronic stroke. A pilot study.

Tseng, Benjamin (2006-07-05)

The risk of falling in people with chronic stroke represents a major public health problem. While many risk factors have been addressed, the relationship between endurance and balance deficits has not been investigated. ...
Enhancing the sensitivity of electrocochleography in the diagnosis of meniere’s disease

Al-momani, Murad (2006-05-19)

Background: Electrocochleography (ECochG), a technique for recording the stimulus-related potentials of the inner ear and auditory nerve, is widely used in the diagnosis of Meniere’s disease (MD). Unfortunately, the ...
Estimates of the single fiber action potential and probability of neuronal discharge obtained from human compound action potentials

Lichtenhan, Jeffery (2006-05-19)

Sensory neural hearing loss results from damage to various cochlear structures and/or auditory nerve fibers. However, current clinical diagnostic tests cannot differentiate between cochlear and neuronal pathology. The ...
Exercise training improves cardiac function in diabetes independent of plasma glucose control

Loganathan, Rajprasad (2006-07-05)

Exercise training benefits skeletal muscle glucose homeostasis in diabetes. However the benefit of exercise training on the diabetic cardiac muscle function is not clear. In this study we tested the hypothesis that ...
Expression of estrogen receptor alpha splice variants in sympathetic ganglia is regulated by estradiol and targets of neuron projection

Tague, Sarah (2006-06-30)

Estradiol affects many aspects of the nervous system, including learning, memory, pain perception, mood, and neural plasticity. Estradiol signaling is highly complex, with multiple receptors initiating signaling cascades ...
Expression of xenobiotic transporters in newborn mice

Miao, Yi (2006-07-05)

Transporters move molecules across cell membranes and are distributed in various tissues. Very little is known about their ontogenic expression, especially in intestine and brain. The purpose of the present study was to ...
FXR not required for inflammation during cholestasis

Allen, Katryn (2006-07-05)

Cholestasis is a condition that results when excretion of bile acids from the liver is interrupted. Liver injury occurs in both humans and animals as a result of cholestasis, and recent studies have shown that inflammation ...
Ga-protein is required for the androgen receptor transactivation in prostate cancer

Alipui, Didier (2006-05-22)

Prostate Cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the US. Activation of androgen receptor (AR) has been shown to play a critical role in the initiation, maintenance and progression of prostate cancer. In an attempt ...
Histology of traumatic brain injury: developing a murine model

Hersperger, Stephen (2006-05-23)

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) annually affects 1.5 million individuals in the United States and associated costs soar to over $56 billion. Despite its widespread burden, relatively little is known about how to reduce the ...
Human papillomavirus testing is not necessary in the triage of women with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion on Papanicolaou smears

Jennings, Kate (2006-06-29)

Background: High-risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) is a recognized cause of cervical carcinoma and its precursors. HPV testing is recommended to triage the follow up for women with atypical squamous cells of undetermined ...
Hydroxyurea-mediated regulation of erythrocyte arg

Iyamu, Efe (2006-05-19)

Currently, hydroxyurea (HU), a potent inducer of fetal hemoglobin (Hb F), is the only approved drug for the management of sickle cell disease (SCD).Although the mechanism of induction of Hb F by HU is still unknown, but ...
Increased expression of telomere length regulators, TRF1, TRF2, and TIN2 in patients with adult T-cell leukemia.

Bellon, Marcia (2006-07-06)

Human T-cell lymphoma/leukemia virus (HTLV) is the etiological agent of adult T-cell lymphoma (ATL). Over10-20 million people are infected with HTLV, which is endemic in regions of Japan, the Caribbean, South America, ...
The lived experience of certified nursing assistants in a nursing home viewed through a social constructionist lens.

Quenstedt-Moe, Gretchen (2006-06-29)

Certified nursing assistants (CNAs) are frontline caregivers for the elderly with chronic physical and cognitive disabilities in nursing homes (NHs). The pool of CNAs available to deliver this complex care in NHs is ...
A microarray strategy: searching for new cyclic genes during somitogenesis

Dequeant, Mary-Lee (2006-06-30)

The vertebrate body plan is characterized by a segmented organization, which is clearly visible at the level of the vertebral column, its associated muscles and the peripheral nervous system. This basic organization is ...
MRI measurement of hippocampal volumes in early stage Alzheimer's disease

Klima, David (2006-06-30)

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of memory loss in the world today. Non-invasive neuroimaging techniques have been explored to help diagnose and perhaps predict AD before the onset of symptoms. ...
