Genetic and environmental influences on bone mineral density in pre- and post-menopausal women
(Springer-Verlag; International Osteoporosis Foundation and National Osteoporosis Foundation, 2005-12)
Genetic factors influencing acquisition of peak bone mass account for a substantial proportion of the variation in bone mineral density (BMD), although the extent to which genes also contribute to variation in bone loss ...
Genetics of cold-adapted B/Ann Arbor/1/66 influenza virus reassortants: the acidic polymerase (PA) protein gene confers temperature sensitivity and attenuated virulence
(Elsevier, 1987-08)
The cold-adapted B/Ann Arbor/1/66 influenza virus (ca B/AA/1/66) expresses temperature-sensitive (ts), cold-adapted (ca) and attenuation phenotypes. Reassortants which inherit one or more genes from ca B/AA/1/66 and all ...
The relationship of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and radial bone mass
(Elsevier, 1990-08)
We assessed the association between radial bone mass and vitamin D considering age, estrogen sufficiency and thiazide use in 373 women, aged 20-80 years in a geographically defined area. We measured cortical bone mass of ...
Risk factors for low bone mineral density and the 6-year rate of bone loss among premenopausal and perimenopausal women
(Springer-Verlag; International Osteoporosis Foundation and National Osteoporosis Foundation, 2004-06)
Risk factors that are associated with lower bone mineral density (BMD) may not necessarily be associated with increased bone loss among premenopausal and perimenopausal women. We determined risk factors for lower premenopausal ...
Diet and risk for breast cancer recurrence and survival
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1999-02)
Dietary factors may influence the risk for breast cancer and also the prognosis following diagnosis and treatment. The aim of this study was to assess whether self-reported prediagnosis diet or other patient factors ...
Relationship of serum sex-steroid hormones and prostate volume in African American men
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2002-12-01)
BACKGROUND Previous epidemiologic investigations of the associations of sex-steroid hormones and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) have focused on predominately white populations. The objective of this study was to ...
Studies in man with cold-recombinant influenza virus (h1n1) live vaccines
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1980)
Two cold-recombinant influenza A (H1N1) viruses were tested in several groups of human volunteers. Only minor clinical symptoms were seen and no febrile reactions occurred. With serologically primed individuals virus ...
Population-Based Incidence and Prevalence of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: The Michigan Lupus Epidemiology and Surveillance Program
(American College of Rheumatology, 2014-02)
Objective
To estimate the incidence and prevalence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in a sociodemographically diverse southeastern Michigan source population of 2.4 million people.
Methods
SLE cases fulfilling ...
The association of endogenous hormone concentrations and bone mineral density measures in pre- and perimenopausal women of four ethnic groups: SWAN
(Springer-Verlag; International Osteoporosis Foundation and National Osteoporosis Foundation, 2003-01)
We evaluated bone mineral density (BMD), hormone concentrations and menstrual cycle status to test the hypothesis that greater variations in reproductive hormones and menstrual bleeding patterns in mid-aged women might ...
