The prolactin and growth hormone families: Pregnancy-specific hormones/cytokines at the maternal-fetal interface
(BioMedCentral, 2004-07-05)The prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH) gene families represent species-specific expansions of pregnancy-associated hormones/cytokines. In this review we examine the structure, expression patterns, and biological actions ... -
Induction of calcification by serum depletion in cell culture: a model for focal calcification in aortas related to atherosclerosis
(BioMedCentral, 2006-10-16)BACKGROUND:Since aortic calcification has been shown to initiate in the lower zone of well-thickened plaques (LZP) adjacent to the aortic media of rabbits fed supplemental cholesterol diets, a restricted supply of serum ... -
Accumulation of low density lipoprotein associated cholesterol in calcifying vesicle fractions correlates with intimal thickening in thoracic aortas of juvenile rabbits fed a supplemental cholesterol diet
(BioMedCentral, 2006-06-23)BACKGROUND:It has been shown that calcifying vesicles play an important role in aortic calcification and that cholesterol content in the isolated vesicle fraction is increased when rabbits are fed supplemental cholesterol ... -
Potential genetic modifiers of the cystic fibrosis intestinal inflammatory phenotype on mouse chromosomes 1, 9, and 10
(BioMedCentral, 2008-05-09)BACKGROUND:Although cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, the severity of disease is highly variable indicating the influence of modifier genes. The ... -
Effects of dietary calcium on atherosclerosis, aortic calcification, and icterus in rabbits fed a supplemental cholesterol diet
(BioMedCentral, 2009-04-22)BACKGROUND:Vascular calcification is implicated in myocardial infarction, instability and rigidity of the aortic wall, and bioprosthetic failures. Although an increase in the calcium (Ca) content in atherogenic diets has ... -
Inductively-overcoupled coil design for high resolution magnetic resonance imaging
(BioMedCentral, 2007-11-01)BACKGROUND:Maintaining the quality of magnetic resonance images acquired with the current implantable coil technology is challenging in longitudinal studies. To overcome this challenge, the principle of 'inductive overcoupling' ... -
Comparison of a low carbohydrate and low fat diet for weight maintenance in overweight or obese adults enrolled in a clinical weight management program
(BioMedCentral, 2006-10-02)BACKGROUND:Recent evidence suggests that a low carbohydrate (LC) diet may be equally or more effective for short-term weight loss than a traditional low fat (LF) diet; however, less is known about how they compare for ... -
Low carbohydrate diets in family practice: what can we learn from an internet-based support group
(BioMedCentral, 2005-02-09)The Active Low-Carber Forums (ALCF) is an on-line support group started in 2000 which currently has more than 86,000 members. Data collected from posts to the forum and from an on-line survey were used to determine the ... -
Electronic health records in outpatient clinics: Perspectives of third year medical students
(BioMedCentral, 2006-03-01)"BACKGROUND:United States academic medical centers are increasingly incorporating electronic health records (EHR) into teaching settings. We report third year medical students' attitudes towards clinical learning using the ... -
Case-based exercises fail to improve medical students' information management skills: a controlled trial
(BioMedCentral, 2007-12-19)BACKGROUND:Tomorrow's physicians must learn to access, retrieve, integrate and apply current information into ambulatory patient encounters, yet few medical schools teach 'real time' information management.METHODS:We ... -
Natural history of S-adenosylmethionine-binding proteins
(BioMedCentral, 2004-12-16)BACKGROUND:S-adenosylmethionine is a source of diverse chemical groups used in biosynthesis and modification of virtually every class of biomolecules. The most notable reaction requiring S-adenosylmethionine, transfer of ... -
Rapid isolation of yeast genomic DNA: Bust n' Grab
(BioMedCentral, 2004-04-21)BACKGROUND:Mutagenesis of yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) often requires analysis of large numbers of yeast clones to obtain correctly targeted mutants. Conventional ways to isolate yeast genomic DNA utilize either ... -
Fenretinide-induced apoptosis of Huh-7 hepatocellular carcinoma is retinoic acid receptor ß dependent
(BioMedCentral, 2009-03-17)BACKGROUND:Retinoids are used to treat several types of cancer; however, their effects on liver cancer have not been fully characterized. To investigate the therapeutic potential of retinoids on hepatocellular carcinoma ... -
Understanding patients' perspective in the use of generic antiepileptic drugs: compelling lessons for physicians to improve physician/patient communication
(BioMedCentral, 2004-01-12)"BACKGROUND:Epilepsy is a condition in which consistency of treatment is paramount to successful management and for most patients, effective seizure control can be achieved. Given the severe consequences of even a single ... -
A topological algorithm for identification of structural domains of proteins
(BioMedCentral, 2006-02-17)BACKGROUND:Identification of the structural domains of proteins is important for our understanding of the organizational principles and mechanisms of protein folding, and for insights into protein function and evolution. ... -
