Scaling up interventions for chronic disease prevention: the evidence

interventions

Galea G.
GSID: fosBU9TAbLoJ
TA Gaziano, G Galea, KS Reddy - The Lancet, 2007 - Elsevier

… (effectiveness data for the interventions in the third and fourth articles of this Series are reviewed within those papers1, 2). In view of the large number of interventions, this paper is not exhaustive, but rather draws attention to...

Imitation learning in budgerigars: Dawson and Foss (1965) revisited.

Behavioural processes

Galef BG, Manzig LA, Field RM.
PMID: 24924871
Behav Processes. 1986 Jun;13(1):191-202. doi: 10.1016/0376-6357(86)90025-2.

Dawson and Foss (1985) have reported that each of five naive budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus ) after watching a demonstrator budgerigar use one of three different methods of opening a covered food dish, used the same method as its respective...

Social learning and traditions in animals: evidence, definitions, and relationship to human culture.

Wiley interdisciplinary reviews. Cognitive science

Galef BG.
PMID: 26305267
Wiley Interdiscip Rev Cogn Sci. 2012 Nov;3(6):581-592. doi: 10.1002/wcs.1196. Epub 2012 Aug 09.

The number of publications concerned with social learning in nonhuman animals has expanded dramatically in recent decades. In this article, recent literature addressing three issues that have been of particular concern to those with both an interest in social...

Bone Marrow-Derived Cells in the Pathogenesis of Lung Fibrosis.

Current respiratory medicine reviews

Moore BB, Thannickal VJ, Toews GB.
PMID: 27499722
Curr Respir Med Rev. 2005;1(1):69-76. doi: 10.2174/1573398052953613.

Progressive pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by failed alveolar reepithelialization and fibroblast/myofibroblast accumulation, with deposition of extracellular matrix. This results in loss of lung elasticity, alveolar collapse and fibrosis, impaired gas exchange and progressive decline in pulmonary function. Myofibroblasts represent...

Maximizing Fibroblast Adhesion on Protein-Coated Surfaces Using Microfluidic Cell Printing.

Combination medical therapy for symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia.

The Canadian journal of urology

Savage SJ, Spungen AM, Galea G, Britanico J, Vapnek JM.
PMID: 11305957
Can J Urol. 1998 Aug;5(3):578-584.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate treatment response to terazosin, finasteride, or a combination of both in men with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with BPH were consecutively enrolled from a clinical...

'Culture' in quail: social influences on mate choices of female Coturnix japonica.

Animal behaviour

White DJ, Galef BG.
PMID: 10860524
Anim Behav. 2000 May;59(5):975-979. doi: 10.1006/anbe.1999.1402.

We have shown previously that after a focal female Japanese quail, Coturnix japonica, sees a conspecific male mating, the focal female's tendency to affiliate and to mate with that male is significantly increased. Here we describe two experiments demonstrating...

Evidence of social effects on mate choice in vertebrates.

Behavioural processes

Galef BG, White DJ.
PMID: 11074319
Behav Processes. 2000 Oct 05;51(1):167-175. doi: 10.1016/s0376-6357(00)00126-1.

Study of determinants of mate selection by animals has a long history in evolutionary biology and behavioural ecology. However, only during the past decade have investigators begun to conduct experiments exploring the various ways in which observation of the...

Role and development of TH1/TH2 immune responses in the lungs.

Seminars in respiratory and critical care medicine

Herring AC, Hernández Y, Huffnagle GB, Toews GB.
PMID: 16088444
Semin Respir Crit Care Med. 2004 Feb;25(1):3-10. doi: 10.1055/s-2004-822300.

The development of T helper 1 (Th1) and Th2 responses is dependent on the cells and early signals of the innate immune system. Following inhalation of pulmonary pathogens, lung antigen-presenting cells (APCs) ingest the microbe, begin to process antigen,...

Global priority setting for Cochrane systematic reviews of health promotion and public health research.

Journal of epidemiology and community health

Doyle J, Waters E, Yach D, McQueen D, De Francisco A, Stewart T, Reddy P, Gulmezoglu AM, Galea G, Portela A.
PMID: 15709077
J Epidemiol Community Health. 2005 Mar;59(3):193-7. doi: 10.1136/jech.2003.019547.

BACKGROUND: Systematic reviews of health promotion and public health interventions are increasingly being conducted to assist public policy decision making. Many intra-country initiatives have been established to conduct systematic reviews in their relevant public health areas. The Cochrane Collaboration,...

Two-point time-series measurementsof hydroxyl concentration in a turbulent nonpremixed flame.

Applied optics

Zhang J, King GB, Laurendeau NM, Renfro MW.
PMID: 17694123
Appl Opt. 2007 Aug 10;46(23):5742-54. doi: 10.1364/ao.46.005742.

Quantitative two-point hydroxyl time-series measurements have been performed in a turbulent nonpremixed flame by using two-point picosecond time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence. The current diagnostic system has been improved from its preliminary version to address optical aberrations and fluorescence lifetime fluctuations....

Phase diagram of molecular oxygen adsorption on the (111) platinum surface.

Physical review letters

Wang XG, Fisher GB.
PMID: 17930841
Phys Rev Lett. 2007 Aug 10;99(6):066101. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.99.066101. Epub 2007 Aug 06.

Molecular oxygen adsorption on the Pt(111) surface is studied based on ab initio computations and thermodynamics. An O2 adsorption phase diagram is determined. There are two possible chemisorbed molecular states: one at a bridge site and another one at...
