TSLP and IL-33 reciprocally promote each other's lung protein expression and ILC2 receptor expression to enhance innate type-2 airway inflammation
(Allergy, 2020-02)
Background The epithelial cell-derived danger signal mediators thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and IL-33 are consistently associated with adaptive Th2 immune responses in asthma. In addition, TSLP and IL-33 synergistically ...
Evaluation of the safety and tolerability of a nutritional Formulation in patients with ANgelman Syndrome (FANS): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(Trials, 2020-01-09)
Background Ketogenic and low-glycemic-index diets are effective in treating drug-resistant seizures in children with Angelman syndrome. Cognition, mobility, sleep, and gastrointestinal health are intrinsically linked to ...
Effect of 'rice' pattern on high blood pressure by gender and obesity: using the community-based KoGES cohort
(Public Health Nutrition, 2020-02)
Objective: The present study aimed to examine the association between dietary pattern and the risk of high blood pressure (BP) and to estimate the attenuated effect by gender and obesity on the association using data from ...
Osteochondral Allograft Implantation Using the Smith-Peterson (Anterior) Approach for Chondral Lesions of the Femoral Head
(Arthroscopy Techniques, 2020-02)
Management of chondral lesions of the femoral head can be challenging. Previously described approaches include arthroscopic surgery for small lesions and open surgical dislocation for larger lesions. In 2001, Ganz popularized ...
Genome-wide association study of dietary intake in the UK biobank study and its associations with schizophrenia and other traits
(Translational Psychiatry, 2020-02-03)
Motivated by observational studies that report associations between schizophrenia and traits, such as poor diet, increased body mass index and metabolic disease, we investigated the genetic contribution to dietary intake ...
Median Nerve Variation: A Complete Spin before Terminal Branching
(Journal of Brachial Plexus and Periheral Nerve Injury, 2020-01)
Median nerve anatomy is of great interest to clinicians and scientists given the importance of this nerve and its association with diseases. A rare anatomical variant of the median nerve in the distal forearm and wrist was ...
Salivary epigenetic biomarkers as predictors of emerging childhood obesity
(BMC Medical Genetics, 2020-02-14)
Background Epigenetics could facilitate greater understanding of disparities in the emergence of childhood obesity. While blood is a common tissue used in human epigenetic studies, saliva is a promising tissue. Our prior ...
A multifaceted investigation into molecular associations of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension pathogenesis
(JRSM Cardiovascular Disease, 2020-02)
Purpose
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is characterized by incomplete thrombus resolution following acute pulmonary embolism, leading to pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular dysfunction. Conditions ...
Enteral Autonomy and Days Off Parenteral Support With Teduglutide Treatment for Short Bowel Syndrome in the STEPS Trials
(Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 2020-05)
Background Teduglutide response, in terms of parenteral support (PS) volume reduction, is associated with specific disease characteristics among adults with short bowel syndrome-associated intestinal failure (SBS-IF). ...
snapMRF: GPU-accelerated magnetic resonance fingerprinting dictionary generation and matching using extended phase graphs
(Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 2020-02)
Purpose:: Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) is a state-of-the-art quantitative MRI technique with a computationally demanding reconstruction process, the accuracy of which depends on the accuracy of the signal model ...
