Tropical medicine & international health : TM & IH

Nalwoga A, Cose S, Wakeham K, Miley W, Ndibazza J, Drakeley C, Elliott A, Whitby D, Newton R.
PMID: 25611008
Trop Med Int Health. 2015 May;20(5):665-672. doi: 10.1111/tmi.12464. Epub 2015 Feb 09.

OBJECTIVE: Unlike other herpes viruses, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV) is not ubiquitous worldwide and is most prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa. The reasons for this are unclear. As part of a wider investigation of factors that facilitate transmission in...

Evolutionary medicine: A meaningful connection between omics, disease, and treatment.

Proteomics. Clinical applications

Abu-Asab M, Chaouchi M, Amri H.
PMID: 18458745
Proteomics Clin Appl. 2008 Feb;2(2):122-134. doi: 10.1002/prca.200780047.

The evolutionary nature of diseases requires that their omics be analyzed by evolution-compatible analytical tools such as parsimony phylogenetics in order to reveal common mutations and pathways' modifications. Since the heterogeneity of the omics data renders some analytical tools...

A general framework for the evaluation of clinical trial quality.

Reviews on recent clinical trials

Berger VW, Alperson SY.
PMID: 19463104
Rev Recent Clin Trials. 2009 May;4(2):79-88. doi: 10.2174/157488709788186021.

Flawed evaluation of clinical trial quality allows flawed trials to thrive (get funded, obtain IRB approval, get published, serve as the basis of regulatory approval, and set policy). A reasonable evaluation of clinical trial quality must recognize that any...

Resistance to integrase inhibitors.

Viruses

Métifiot M, Marchand C, Maddali K, Pommier Y.
PMID: 20706558
Viruses. 2010 Jun 25;2(7):1347-66. doi: 10.3390/v2071347.

Integrase (IN) is a clinically validated target for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus infections and raltegravir exhibits remarkable clinical activity. The next most advanced IN inhibitor is elvitegravir. However, mutant viruses lead to treatment failure and mutations within...

An Efficient Stochastic Search for Bayesian Variable Selection with High-Dimensional Correlated Predictors.

Computational statistics & data analysis

Kwon D, Landi MT, Vannucci M, Issaq HJ, Prieto D, Pfeiffer RM.
PMID: 21686315
Comput Stat Data Anal. 2011 Oct 01;55(10):2807-2818. doi: 10.1016/j.csda.2011.04.019.

We present a Bayesian variable selection method for the setting in which the number of independent variables or predictors in a particular dataset is much larger than the available sample size. While most existing methods allow some degree of...

Clinical trial designs for evaluating the medical utility of prognostic and predictive biomarkers in oncology.

Personalized medicine

Simon R.
PMID: 20383292
Per Med. 2010 Jan 01;7(1):33-47. doi: 10.2217/pme.09.49.

Physicians need improved tools for selecting treatments for individual patients. Many diagnostic entities hat were traditionally viewed as individual diseases are heterogeneous in their molecular pathogenesis and treatment responsiveness. This results in the treatment of many patients with ineffective...

Synthesis of a Homologous Series of Side Chain Extended Orthogonally-Protected Aminooxy-Containing Amino Acids.

Synthesis

Liu F, Thomas J, Burke TR.
PMID: 19122755
Synthesis (Stuttg). 2008;15:2432-2438. doi: 10.1055/s-2008-1078600.

Practical methodology is reported for the synthesis of a homologous series of side chain extended amino acids containing aminooxy functionality bearing orthogonal protection suitable for Fmoc peptide synthesis. These reagents may be useful for the preparation of libraries containing...

The evolving role of nuclear molecular imaging in cancer.

Expert opinion on medical diagnostics

Kurdziel K, Ravizzini G, Croft B, Tatum J, Choyke P, Kobayashi H.
PMID: 19122861
Expert Opin Med Diagn. 2008 Jul;2(7):829-842. doi: 10.1517/17530059.2.7.829.

BACKGROUND: Novel therapies targeted to specific tumor pathways are entering the clinic. The need for in vivo monitoring of resulting molecular changes, particularly with respect to the tumor microenvironment, is growing. Molecular imaging is evolving to include a variety...

MicroRNA polymorphisms: a giant leap towards personalized medicine.

Personalized medicine

Mishra PJ.
PMID: 20428464
Per Med. 2009 Mar 01;6(2):119-125. doi: 10.2217/17410541.6.2.119.

"An individual's genetic inheritance of microRNA polymorphisms associated with disease progression, prognosis and treatment holds the key to create safer and more personalized drugs and can be a giant leap towards personalized medicine."

A network of its own: the unique interactome of the Hsp90 cochaperone, Sba1/p23.

Molecular cell

Prince T, Neckers L.
PMID: 21777805
Mol Cell. 2011 Jul 22;43(2):159-60. doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2011.07.005.

In this issue of Molecular Cell, Echtenkamp et al. (2011) show that the molecular chaperone Sba1/p23, thought to function primarily as a key modulator of the Hsp90 chaperone complex, also operates in its own sphere of influence outside of...

Current priorities for public health practice in addressing the role of human genomics in improving population health.

American journal of preventive medicine

Khoury MJ, Bowen MS, Burke W, Coates RJ, Dowling NF, Evans JP, Reyes M, St Pierre J.
PMID: 21406285
Am J Prev Med. 2011 Apr;40(4):486-93. doi: 10.1016/j.amepre.2010.12.009.

In spite of accelerating human genome discoveries in a wide variety of diseases of public health significance, the promise of personalized health care and disease prevention based on genomics has lagged behind. In a time of limited resources, public...
