Is catechol-O-methyl transferase 472G/A gene polymorphism a marker associated with alcoholism?
(2011)Objectives The available published evidence from the genetic association studies on the association between alcoholism and catechol-O-methyl transferase 472G/A gene polymorphism have produced inconclusive results. To ... -
Is there evidence to claim or deny association between variants of the multidrug resistance gene (MDR1 or ABCB1) and inflammatory bowel disease?
(2012)Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex disease with a genetic background. Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are the two main types of IBD. There is indication that variants in the MDR1 ... -
Lack of Association Between Common Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene Haplotypes and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Hypertension
(2010)The endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) gene has been implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension-related left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Candidate-gene studies have examined the role of NOS3 variation, but ... -
Large-Scale Analysis of Association Between GDF5 and FRZB Variants and Osteoarthritis of the Hip, Knee, and Hand
(2009)Objective. GDF5 and FRZB have been proposed as genetic loci conferring susceptibility to osteoarthritis (OA); however, the results of several studies investigating the association of OA with the rs143383 polymorphism of ... -
Mechanisms underlying the self-talk-performance relationship: The effects of motivational self-talk on self-confidence and anxiety
(2009)Objectives: The present study examined the effects of motivational self-talk on self-confidence, anxiety, and task performance in young athletes. Methods: Participants were 72 tennis players. The experiment was conducted ... -
Meta-analysis of genome-wide scans provides evidence for sex- and site-specific regulation of bone mass
(2007)Introduction: BMD is a heritable trait and an important predictor of osteoporotic fracture risk. Several genome-wide scans have been performed in an attempt to detect loci that regulate BMD, but there has been limited ... -
Modelling of escalating outpatient antibiotic expenditures
(2003)Objectives: To model the relative role of old and newly introduced antibiotics in shaping increased antibiotic use. Methods: Grouped data covering nationwide consumption and expenditure for out-of-hospital antibiotics in ... -
Network Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials in Multiple Sclerosis
(2012)Background: The optimal treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) is not yet well-defined. Objective: To estimate the relative effectiveness of treatments in MS, we performed a network of multiple-treatments meta-analysis of ... -
Nonverbal communication and relational identification with the supervisor Evidence from two countries
(2015)Purpose - Nonverbal communication comprises a core element of the interactions between leader and follower. Nevertheless, there is limited empirical attention regarding the impact of nonverbal cues on followers' attitudinal ... -
On the covariance of two correlated log-odds ratios
(2012)In many applications two correlated estimates of an effect size need to be considered simultaneously to be combined or compared. Apparently, there is a need for calculating their covariance, which however requires access ... -
Organizational culture as a predictor of job satisfaction: the role of gender and age
(2010)Purpose - This paper seeks to examine how values comprising organizational culture impact on employees' job satisfaction, taking also into account their gender and age. Design/methodology/approach - The study took place ... -
Ototoxicity caused by once- and twice-daily administration of amikacin in rabbits
(2010)Objective: The cochleotoxic effects of aminoglycosides, such as amikacin, are well-established. The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible differences in cochleotoxic effects between once-daily administration ... -
Polymorphisms of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) gene in preeclampsia: a candidate-gene association study
(2011)Background: The endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene (NOS3) has been proposed as a candidate gene for preeclampsia. However, studies so far have produced conflicting results. This study examines the specific role of ... -
