Nitric oxide dysregulation in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia among Ghanaian women.

Integrated blood pressure control

Adu-Bonsaffoh K, Antwi DA, Obed SA, Gyan B.
PMID: 25733925
Integr Blood Press Control. 2015 Feb 19;8:1-6. doi: 10.2147/IBPC.S68454. eCollection 2015.

BACKGROUND: Preeclampsia (PE) is still a disease of theories as the exact cause remains uncertain. Widespread vascular endothelial cell dysfunction is thought to mediate the generalized vasospasm and hypertension characteristic of PE. Altered nitric oxide (NO) production has been...

A Novel Digital Patient-Reported Outcome Platform for Head and Neck Oncology Patients-A Pilot Study.

Clinical medicine insights. Ear, nose and throat

Peltola MK, Lehikoinen JS, Sippola LT, Saarilahti K, Mäkitie AA.

INTRODUCTION: The patient's role in toxicity reporting is increasingly acknowledged. There is also a need for developing modern communication methods between the patient and the medical personnel. Furthermore, the increasing number of head and neck cancer (HNC) patients is...

Body composition and ankle-brachial index in Ghanaians with asymptomatic peripheral arterial disease in a tertiary hospital.

BMC obesity

Yeboah K, Puplampu P, Yorke E, Antwi DA, Gyan B, Amoah AG.
PMID: 27239322
BMC Obes. 2016 May 13;3:27. doi: 10.1186/s40608-016-0107-3. eCollection 2016.

BACKGROUND: Ankle-brachial index (ABI) and indices of obesity are both use to indicate cardiovascular risk. However, association between body composition indices and ABI, a measure of peripheral arterial disease, is inconsistent in various study reports. In this study, we...

Host-associated differentiation in a highly polyphagous, sexually reproducing insect herbivore.

Ecology and evolution

Antwi JB, Sword GA, Medina RF.
PMID: 26257868
Ecol Evol. 2015 Jul;5(13):2533-43. doi: 10.1002/ece3.1526. Epub 2015 Jun 01.

Insect herbivores may undergo genetic divergence on their host plants through host-associated differentiation (HAD). Much of what we know about HAD involves insect species with narrow host ranges (i.e., specialists) that spend part or all their life cycle inside...

Head and neck cancer in renal transplant patients in Finland.

Acta oto-laryngologica

Mäkitie AA, Lundberg M, Salmela K, Kyllönen L, Pukkala E.
PMID: 18607958
Acta Otolaryngol. 2008 Nov;128(11):1255-8. doi: 10.1080/00016480801901725.

CONCLUSIONS: This study found a 0.8% incidence of non-cutaneous head and neck cancer during a mean follow-up of 10 years. The benefits of successful renal transplantation clearly outweigh the observed risk of malignancy.OBJECTIVE: Increased cancer incidence after organ transplantation...

Collective violence and attitudes of women toward intimate partner violence: Evidence from the Niger Delta.

BMC international health and human rights

PMID: 19508708
BMC Int Health Hum Rights. 2009 Jun 09;9:12. doi: 10.1186/1472-698X-9-12.

BACKGROUND: The Niger Delta region of Nigeria has been undergoing collective violence for over 25 years, which has constituted a major public health problem. The objectives of this study were to investigate the predictors of women's attitudes toward intimate...

Composition of agarose substrate affects behavioral output of Drosophila larvae.

Frontiers in behavioral neuroscience

Apostolopoulou AA, Hersperger F, Mazija L, Widmann A, Wüst A, Thum AS.
PMID: 24478658
Front Behav Neurosci. 2014 Jan 28;8:11. doi: 10.3389/fnbeh.2014.00011. eCollection 2014.

In the last decade the Drosophila larva has evolved into a simple model organism offering the opportunity to integrate molecular genetics with systems neuroscience. This led to a detailed understanding of the neuronal networks for a number of sensory...

The role of gender inequities in women's access to reproductive health care: a population-level study of Namibia, Kenya, Nepal, and India.

International journal of women's health

Namasivayam A, Osuorah DC, Syed R, Antai D.
