Feasibility of intracoronary frequency domain optical coherence tomography derived fractional flow reserve for the assessment of coronary artery stenosis
(International Heart Journal (Japanese Heart Journal), 2014-01-01)
Frequency domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) provides cross-sectional images of coronary arteries and deployed stents with micron resolution and measures lumen dimensions with excellent reproducibility. FD-OCT ...
Risk factors for groin/hip injuries in field-based sports: a systematic review
(BMJ, 2014-05-02)
Background Groin/hip injuries are common in the athletic population, particularly in sports requiring kicking, twisting, turning and rapid acceleration and deceleration. Chronic hip, buttock and groin pain account for 10% ...

Identification and characterization of novel associations in the casp8/als2cr12 region on chromosome 2 with breast cancer risk
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014-08-28)
Previous studies have suggested that polymorphisms in CASP8 on chromosome 2 are associated with breast cancer risk. To clarify the role of CASP8 in breast cancer susceptibility, we carried out dense genotyping of this ...
New roles for old enzymes: killer caspases as the engine of cell behavior changes
(Frontiers Media SA, 2014-04-16)
It has become increasingly clear that caspases, far from being merely cell death effectors, have a much wider range of functions within the cell. These functions are as diverse as signal transduction and cytoskeletal ...
Facets of diazotrophy in the oxygen minimum zone waters off peru
(Springer Nature, 2014-05-09)
Nitrogen fixation, the biological reduction of dinitrogen gas (N-2) to ammonium (NH4+), is quantitatively the most important external source of new nitrogen (N) to the open ocean. Classically, the ecological niche of oceanic ...
Comparing mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation who are receiving a direct-acting oral anticoagulant or warfarin: a meta-analysis of randomized trials
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-07-25)
BackgroundIn patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF), direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are at least non-inferior to warfarin for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism. The main objective of ...
