The 12-in-1 procedure for the treatment of congenital idiopathic clubfoot
(2008)The purpose of this study was to assess the long-term results of an extended soft tissue release in a single procedure, for the treatment of congenital idiopathic clubfoot. Seventeen patients with 22 congenital idiopathic ... -
4-Arylazo-3,5-diamino-1H-pyrazole CDK inhibitors: SAR study, crystal structure in complex with CDK2, selectivity, and cellular effects
(2006)In a routine screening of our small-molecule compound collection we recently identified 4-arylazo-3,5-diamino-1H-pyrazoles as a novel group of ATP antagonists with moderate potency against CDK2-cyclin E. A preliminary SAR ... -
The 5′ regulatory region of the human fetal globin genes is a gene conversion hotspot
(2008)The human fetal globin genes consist of the first mammalian genomic loci for which gene conversion was reported. To date, 14 gene conversions have been described in the human Gγ- and Aγ-globin genes, the vast majority of ... -
99mTc sestamibi as a prognostic factor of response to first-line therapy and outcome in patients with malignant lymphoma
(2013)INTRODUCTION: Resistance to chemotherapy poses a major problem in cancer patients. Although of multifactorial origin, some of the implicated mechanisms also interfere with Tc-MIBI uptake and retention in cancer cells. The ... -
Abiotic and biotic factors affect efficacy of chlorfenapyr for control of stored-product insect pests
(2011)Laboratory bioassays were conducted to assess pyrole chlorfenapyr as a potential grain protectant against adults of Rhyzopertha dominica, Sitophilus oryzae, Prostephanus truncatus, Tribolium confusum, and Liposcelis ... -
Accelerated hypofractionated radiotherapy schedules in breast cancer: A review of the current literature
(2009)Lumpectomy followed by breast irradiation is an alternative to mastectomy for patients with early-stage breast cancer. The purpose of radiation treatment following lumpectomy is to minimize the risk of recurrent cancer in ... -
Accidental acute metabolic acidosis due to inappropriate selection of bicarbonate concentrate
(2005)Haemodialysis using a bicarbonate concentrate (bicarbonate dialysis) is the treatment modality of choice for correction of metabolic acidosis in chronic renal failure. However, improper ratios of acid and bicarbonate ... -
Actions for prevention and control of health threats related to maritime transport in European Union
(2013)Background: Actions at European Union level for International Health Regulations (IHR) 2005 implementation and maritime transport were focused on two European projects implemented between 2006 and 2011. Method: Situation ... -
Acute phase markers for the differentiation of infectious and malignant pleural effusions
(2007)Acute-phase markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), have been studied in inflammatory and malignant disorders. We examined the diagnostic value of these ... -
Adenoid cystic carcinoma stage Ib1 treated with radical surgery displaying human papilloma virus 33 (HPV 33): immunoelectron microscopy and review
(2003)BACKGROUND: The presence of human papilloma virus (HPV) 33 and possible myoepithelial differentiation in an adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cervix (ACC) Ib1 and the clinical outcome are reported. CASE: The case is an ACC, ... -
Age structure changes and extraordinary lifespan in wild medfly populations
(2008)The main purpose of this study was to test the hypotheses that major changes in age structure occur in wild populations of the Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly) and that a substantial fraction of individuals survive to ... -
Airborne algae and cyanobacteria: Occurrence and related health effects
(2011)Published information on airborne algae and cyanobacteria worldwide and the related human health effects is scarce. Since 1844, a total of 353 morphological taxa (genera or species) have been identified in aerobiological ... -
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1B1: Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel mitochondrial acetaldehyde-metabolizing enzyme
(2010)Ethanol-induced damage is largely attributed to its toxic metabolite, acetaldehyde. Clearance of acetaldehyde is achieved by its oxidation, primarily catalyzed by the mitochondrial class II aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2). ... -
Alpha-actinin: A multidisciplinary protein with important role in B-cell driven autoimmunity
(2011)Alpha-actinin (α-actinin) is a ubiquitous cytoskeletal protein, which belongs to the superfamily of filamentous actin (F-actin) crosslinking proteins. It is present in multiple subcellular regions of both muscle and ... -
Alpha-synuclein repeat variants and survival in parkinson's disease
(2014)Objectives: To determine whether α-synuclein dinucleotide repeat (REP1) genotypes are associated with survival in Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: Investigators from the Genetic Epidemiology of Parkinson's Disease ... -
