Randomized Trials of Dopamine Agonists in Restless Legs Syndrome: A Systematic Review, Quality Assessment, and Meta-Analysis
(2010)
Background: The use of dopamine agonists (DAs) for the treatment of restless legs syndrome (RLS) has been assessed in numerous randomized clinical trials (RCTs). Objectives: The aims of this study were to assess the reporting ...
Assessing the Quality of Reporting of Observational Studies in Cancer
(2010)
PURPOSE: The vast majority of epidemiological studies in cancer are observational. However, inadequate reporting of the published observational studies (OS) may restrict the generalizability and credibility of study results. ...
The reporting quality of studies investigating the diagnostic accuracy of anti-CCP antibody in rheumatoid arthritis and its impact on diagnostic estimates
(2012)
Background: Recently anti-CCP testing has become popular in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the inadequate reporting of the relevant diagnostic studies may overestimate and bias the results, directing ...
XbaI GLUT1 gene polymorphism and the risk of type 2 diabetes with nephropathy
(2009)
Altered expression of the facilitated glucose transporter GLUT1 affects pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. There is indication that variation of GLUT1 gene (SLC2A1) contributes to development ...
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene polymorphism as a risk factor for diabetic nephropathy: a meta-analysis
(2007)
Investigations into the association between diabetic nephropathy (DN) and MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism in several case-control studies has yielded contradictory results. To shed light on these inconclusive findings, a ...
Serum nitrite and nitrate levels in children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing
(2010)
Background: Diminished nitric oxide (NO) levels have been reported in adults with obstructive sleep apnea but no data are available for children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). Objectives: To assess ...
MTHFR gene polymorphisms and response to chemotherapy in colorectal cancer: a meta-analysis
(2009)
Aims: Pharmacogenetic studies investigating the relationship between MTHFR gene polymorphisms and response to fluorouracil-based chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer have produced inconclusive results. In an ...
Endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphisms and diabetic nephropathy: A HuGE review and meta-analysis
(2009)
Candidate-gene association studies that examined the association between polymorphisms of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) gene (G894T, 4b/a, and T786C) and diabetic nephropathy or diabetes leading to severe ...
Uric acid excretion in North American and Southeast European children with obstructive sleep apnea
(2010)
Background and objectives: Responses to nocturnal hypoxemia accompanying sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) may vary in different populations. Aims of this study were to (1) assess whether severity of SDB is related to uric ...
