Estimation of viral kinetics model parameters in young and aged SARS-CoV-2 infected macaques
(2021)The SARS-CoV-2 virus disproportionately causes serious illness and death in older individuals. In order to have the greatest impact in decreasing the human toll caused by the virus, antiviral treatment should be targeted ... -
Extending Forster resonance energy transfer measurements beyond 100 angstrom using common organic fluorophores: Enhanced transfer in the presence of multiple acceptors
(2012)Using commercially available organic fluorophores, the current applications of Forster (fluorescence) resonance energy transfer (FRET) are limited to about 80 angstrom. However, many essential activities in cells are ... -
Factors associated with low tuberculosis preventive therapy prescription rates among health care workers in rural South Africa
(2021)Background Despite extensive rollout of tuberculosis preventive therapy (TPT) in South Africa to reduce the incidence of tuberculosis among people living with HIV (PWH), rates of initiation and completion have remained ... -
A candidate chromosome inversion in Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) identified by population genetic analysis techniques
(2021)The genomics era has allowed questions to be asked about genome organization and genome architecture of non-model species at a rate not previously seen. Analyses of these genome-wide datasets have documented many examples ... -
A defect in the cytochrome b large subunit in complex II causes both superoxide anion overproduction and abnormal energy metabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans
(2001)A mev-1(kn1) mutant of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is defective in the cytochrome b large subunit (Cyt-1/ceSDHC) in complex II of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. We have previously shown that a mutation ... -
Female Presence on Corporate Boards: A Multi-Country Study of Environmental Context
(2008)A growing body of ethics research investigates gender diversity and governance on corporate boards, at individual and firm levels, in single country studies. In this study, we explore the environmental context of female ... -
A complex II defect affects mitochondrial structure, leading to ced-3- and ced-4-dependent apoptosis and aging
(2003)The mev-1(kn1) mutation of Caenorhabditis elegans is in Cyt-1, which encodes a subunit of succinate-coenzyme Q oxidoreductase in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Mutants are hypersensitive to oxidative stress ... -
Atypical spatiotemporal activation of cerebellar lobules during emotional face processing in adolescents with autism
(2021)Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by social deficits and atypical facial processing of emotional expressions. The underlying neuropathology of these abnormalities is still unclear. Recent studies implicate ... -
Knowledge needs for implementing HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis among primary care providers in a safety-net health system
(2020)Safety-net health systems are a primary source of care for socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals who may be eligible for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and are priority groups under the Ending the HIV Epidemic ... -
Microgrid for a Cluster of Grid Independent Buildings Powered by Solar and Wind Energy
(2021)Featured Application Renewable energy microgrid for a cluster of buildings that avoids the duck curve effects. The reduction of CO2 emissions and the avoidance of Global Climate Change necessitate the conversion of the ... -
Association Between Learning Approaches and Medical Student Academic Progression During Preclinical Training
(2021)Purpose: Students have diverse learning preferences that can impact the achievement of learning outcomes. However, there is a lack of unequivocal evidence for an association between the learning preferences and academic ... -
Reducing complication rates for repeat craniotomies in glioma patients: a single-surgeon experience and comparison with the literature
(2021)Background There is a concern that glioma patients undergoing repeat craniotomies are more prone to complications. The study's goal was to assess if the complication profiles for initial and repeat craniotomies were similar, ... -
Narrative review of the role of yttrium-90 selective internal radiation therapy in the surgical management of colorectal liver metastases
(2021)The management of colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) is complicated and benefits from a multidisciplinary team approach. Liver-directed therapy has been emerging as a modality for better progression-free control. In its ... -
The data-collection on adverse effects of anti-HIV drugs (D:A:D) model for predicting cardiovascular events: External validation in a diverse cohort of people living with HIV
(2021)Objectives Little is known about the external validity of the Data-collection on Adverse Effects of Anti-HIV Drugs (D:A:D) model for predicting cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among people living with HIV (PLWH). We aimed ... -
To Wrap or Not to Wrap After Heller Myotomy
(2021)Background and Objectives: The primary aim of this study is to assess the necessity of fundoplication for reflux in patients undergoing Heller myotomy for achalasia. The secondary aim is to assess the safety of the robotic ... -
