Automated multiplexed ecl immunoarrays for cancer biomarker proteins
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2015-04-21)
Point-of-care diagnostics based on multiplexed protein measurements face challenges of simple, automated, low-cost, and high-throughput operation-with high sensitivity. Herein, we describe an automated, microprocessor-controlled ...
Subcortical brain volume abnormalities in 2028 individuals with schizophrenia and 2540 healthy controls via the enigma consortium
(Springer Nature, 2015-06-02)
The profile of brain structural abnormalities in schizophrenia is still not fully understood, despite decades of research using brain scans. To validate a prospective meta-analysis approach to analyzing multicenter ...
Gene expression profiling identifies interferon signalling molecules and igfbp3 in human degenerative annulus fibrosus
(Springer Nature, 2015-10-22)
Low back pain is a major cause of disability especially for people between 20 and 50 years of age. As a costly healthcare problem, it imposes a serious socio-economic burden. Current surgical therapies fail to replace the ...
Microrna-10a is reduced in breast cancer and regulated in part through retinoic acid
(Springer Nature, 2015-05-02)
Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNA molecules that play a critical role in mRNA cleavage and translational repression, and are known to be altered in many diseases including breast cancer. MicroRNA-10a ...
Fat grafting
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2015-01-01)
Background: There has been substantial rise in the volume of published works on fat transfer in the medical literature in the past 25 years, and this is indicative of its growing popularity. However, many unanswered questions ...
Scar wars: preferences in breast surgery
(Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, 2015-01-01)
Background The uptake of breast reconstruction is ever increasing with procedures ranging from implant-based reconstructions to complex free tissue transfer. Little emphasis is placed on scarring when counseling patients ...
Fixed points of conditionally f-contractions in complete metric-like spaces
(Springer Nature, 2015-07-23)
In this paper, we introduce the notion of a conditionally F-contraction in the setting of complete metric-like spaces and we investigate the existence of fixed points of such mappings. Our results unify, extend, and improve ...
An evaluation of the use of deliberate practice and simulation to train interns in requesting blood products
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2015-04-01)
Introduction: Technical or practical skills deficits upon graduation from medical school are prevalent and contribute to increasing medical error. The current study sought to evaluate the efficacy of a simulation-and ...
Advanced functional polymers addressing the needs of modern medicine
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-11-01)
Inherited variants in the inner centromere protein (incenp) gene of the chromosomal passenger complex contribute to the susceptibility of er-negative breast cancer
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2015-01-13)
The chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of cell division. Therefore, inherited CPC variability could influence tumor development. The present candidate gene approach investigates the ...
