Temporal pattern of C1q deposition after transient focal cerebral ischemia
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-04)
Recent studies have focused on elucidating the contribution of individual complement proteins to post-ischemic cellular injury. As the timing of complement activation and deposition after cerebral ischemia is not well ...
Semiparametric Bayesian modeling of random genetic effects in family-based association studies
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2009-01-15)
We consider the inference problem of estimating covariate and genetic effects in a family-based case-control study where families are ascertained on the basis of the number of cases within the family. However, our interest ...
Glycine Protection of PC-12 Cells Against Injury by ATP-Depletion
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-06)
A distinctive mechanism of cell injury during ATP depletion involves the loss of cellular glycine. The current study examined whether provision of glycine during ATP depletion can prevent injury in PC-12 cells, a cell line ...
Psychosocial factors influence control of moderate and severe hypertension
(Elsevier, 1983)
Factors affecting the degree of blood pressure control achieved by antihypertensive drug treatment in 150 patients with moderate and severe essential hypertension were analyzed. Patients were under continuing treatment for ...
Factors Affecting Students' Use of MEDLINE
(Elsevier, 1993-12)
MEDLINE search transcripts by a class of third-year medical students were analyzed. The 184 students were divided into three groups according to their search experience in terms of the number of sessions logged at the time ...
Population aging in the People's Republic of China
(Elsevier, 1986)
This paper provides a factual assessment of China's population aging and its social and economic consequences. It is projected that China will have a substantially older population in the middle of the 21st century. Major ...
An algorithm for the quantification of ST-T segment variability
(Elsevier, 1989-08)
A template boundary algorithm which quantitatively determines repolarization (ST-T segment) variability in a normal population has been developed. The algorithm defines an initial ST-T template for comparison with successive ...
Beliefs about control of smoking and smoking behavior: A comparison of different measures in different groups
(Elsevier, 1987)
This study investigated several measures of beliefs about controlling smoking as predictors of cessation and reduction at one and six months after a medically-based control program. Smokers (n = 250 total) attending general ...
Bayesian inference for the stereotype regression model: Application to a case–control study of prostate cancer
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2009-11-10)
The stereotype regression model for categorical outcomes, proposed by Anderson ( J. Roy. Statist. Soc. B. 1984; 46 :1–30) is nested between the baseline-category logits and adjacent category logits model with proportional ...
