Verbal fluency in adults diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in childhood
(2013)
It has been increasingly believed that attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a disorder with lifelong course associated with cognitive difficulties including among others, language production, verbal learning, ...
Hypoxia-induced collagen crosslinking as a mechanism for enhancing mechanical properties of engineered articular cartilage
(2013)
Objective: The focus of tissue engineering of neocartilage has traditionally been on enhancing extracellular matrix and thus biomechanical properties. Emphasis has been placed on the enhancement of collagen type and quantity, ...
Erosive hand osteoarthritis is associated with subclinical atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction
(2013)
Chronic inflammatory disorders have been associated with accelerated atherosclerosis and increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. Recent evidence suggests that erosive hand osteoarthritis (EOA) has considerable inflammation; ...
Induced Collagen Cross-Links Enhance Cartilage Integration
(2013)
Articular cartilage does not integrate due primarily to a scarcity of cross-links and viable cells at the interface. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that lysyl-oxidase, a metalloenzyme that forms ...
Work-related respiratory symptoms and airway disease in hairdressers
(2013)
Background: Hairdressers are occupationally exposed to a number of agents in their workplace that result in respiratory symptoms and changes in pulmonary function. Objective: To evaluate associations between occupational ...

(2013)
Background: Urate through Nacht Domain, Leucine-Rich Repeat, and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NALP3) dependent caspase-1 activation stimulates macrophages to secrete inteleukin-1β (IL-1β). Purinergic receptor P2X7 ...
Kinetics of circulating immunoglobulin M in sepsis: Relationship with final outcome
(2013)
Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the kinetics of immunoglobulin M (IgM) during the different stages of sepsis. Methods: In this prospective multicenter study, blood sampling for IgM measurement was ...
Dyslexia and hand preference in secondary school students
(2013)
Research results with regard to handedness and dyslexia have been ambiguous. The present study investigated the relationship between handedness and dyslexia in secondary school students based on genetic (Right-Shift) and ...
