Evaluation of methods for modeling transcription factor sequence specificity (Publications)
Genomic analyses often involve scanning for potential transcription factor (TF) binding sites using models of the sequence specificity of DNA binding proteins. Many approaches have been developed to m
The value of [18F]FDG-PET in the diagnosis of large-vessel vasculitis and the assessment of activity and extent of disease (Publications)
PURPOSE: This study was performed to investigate the value of( 18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ([(18)F]FDG-PET) in the diagnosis of large-vessel vasculitis and the assessment of a
Relationship between gender role, anger expression, thermal discomfort and sleep onset latency in women (Publications)
Background: Women with thermal discomfort from cold extremities (hands and feet; TDCE) often suffer from prolonged sleep onset latency (SOL). Suppressed anger could contribute to the genesis of both T
The activity of dispiro peroxides against <em>Fasciola hepatica</em> (Publications)
Dispiro 1,2,4-trioxanes and 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes had superior efficacy against Fasciola hepatica than the corresponding ozonides (1,2,4-trioxolanes). For highest efficacy, spiroadamantane and carboxyme
Opposite effect of negative and positive affect on stress procoagulant reactivity (Publications)
Exaggerated procoagulant responses to acute mental stress may contribute to coronary thrombosis, and continuing low-grade systemic coagulation activation may link negative affect with the development
Identification of nuclear proteins that differentially interact with <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> var gene promoters (Publications)
The Plasmodium falciparum virulence factor PfEMP1 is responsible for both antigenic variation and cytoadherence of infected erythrocytes in malaria. Approximately 50 var genes per parasite genome code
Exposure to endotoxin or other bacterial components might protect against the development of atopy (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Several recent studies have shown that growing up on a farm confers significant protection against the development of atopy. These findings point particularly towards the importance of exp
