Comparison of resting energy expenditure prediction equations in obese trauma and burn patients

Stucky, Chee-Chee (2006-07-05)

Background: While the prevalence of obesity continues to increase in our society, outdated resting energy expenditure (REE) prediction equations may over-predict energy requirements in obese patients. Therefore, many ...
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 ...
White matter lesions and glucose regulation in early Alzheimer's disease

Hansen, Daniel (2006-07-05)

Intro: While the brain’s anatomic changes due to Alzheimer’s disease have been well documented, the importance of accompanying White Matter Lesions (WMLs) as seen on MRI has not yet been clearly defined. Recent evidence ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Diagnosis and molecular bases of mitocondrial diseases due to dysfunctions in the protein transport to mitochondria's

Veeh, Jessica (2006-07-06)

Objective: Identification of the key transcription factors that regulate the expression of human TIMM8A gene. Background: TIMM8A belongs to a family of evolutionary conserved proteins located in the mitochondrial space ...
The role of the ECM during regeneration in Hydra and Zebrafish

O'Boynick, Christopher (2006-07-06)

After injury or amputation, the mechanisms involved in tissue regeneration are highly complex and coordinated. Certain lower invertebrates such as the Hydra and vertebrates such as zebrafish (Danio rerio) present excellent ...
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, ...
Tissue distribution, gernder difference, ontogeny and chemical induction of multiple drug resistance genes (Mdr1a, Mdr1b, Mdr2) in mice

Cui, Yue (2006-07-06)

Multiple drug resistance (Mdr) transporters are ABC transporters that efflux amphipathic cations out of cells, and thus protect them from xenobiotics, as well as cause resistance of some tumor cells to cancer chemotherapeutic ...
Caerulein-induced trypsinogen activation and acinar cell injury in different murine strains

Champion, Thomas (2006-07-06)

Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas. Most progress in research of its pathogenesis was obtained from experimental models in rats and mice. In the initial onset, trypsinogen activation plays a ...
Ouabain acts through the Na,K-ATPase to stimulate proliferation in ADPKD

Nguyen, Anh-Nguyet (2006-07-06)

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by multiple fluid-filled cysts resulting from increased proliferation and alterations in the fluid transport properties of the renal epithelium. The ...
Procedural learning and functional ability in people with Parkinson's disease

Parab, Shweta (2006-07-07)

Background: It has been shown that people with lesions of the basal ganglia including Parkinson’s disease (PD) have impaired procedural learning, but the functional significance of this deficit is uncertain. Purpose: The ...
Age-related mechanisms in traumatic brain injury - why are outcomes worse in the elderly?

Onyszchuk, Gregory (2006-07-07)

Each year, traumatic brain injury (TBI) claims over 50,000 lives, and leaves 35% of survivors with long term disabilities. Elderly adults often suffer greater morbidity and mortality from TBI. Despite the large and ...
Development of a schistosoma mansoni

Hansen, Philip (2006-07-07)

Through the use of Schistosoma mansoni antigens we attempted to develop a non-invasive assay that would diagnose an infection of intestinal schistosomiasis. We isolated parts of the Schistosoma mansoni parasite shed ...
Neurological symptoms in female carriers of the fragile X mental retardation premutation gene

Doerflinger, Melanie (2006-07-07)

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused by an expanded trinucleotide repeat in the fragile X mental retardation gene (FMR1). Premutation alleles (55-200 CGG repeats) of FMR1 are known to contribute to the fragile X phenotype ...
Omega-3 fatty acids, central nervous system development

Hertzig, Lindsay (2006-07-07)

Docosohexaenoic acid (DHA; 226n-3) is an omega-3 fatty acid critical for normal brain function. DHA in humans is incorporated late in gestation and postnatally, during periods of rapid brain development. We hypothesized ...
