Biophysical reviews

Robertson E, Dilworth C, Lu Y, Hambly B, Jeremy R.
PMID: 28509973
Biophys Rev. 2015 Mar;7(1):105-115. doi: 10.1007/s12551-014-0147-1. Epub 2014 Dec 06.

Aortic dissection is a catastrophic event that has a high mortality rate. Thoracic aortic aneurysms are the clinically silent precursor that confers an increased risk of acute aortic dissection. There are several gene mutations that have been identified in...

Astrocyte-elevated gene-1 confers resistance to pemetrexed in non-small cell lung cancer by upregulating thymidylate synthase expression.

Chen CY, Chen YY, Chen JJW, Chen KY, Ho CC, Shih JY, Chang YL, Yu CJ, Yang PC.
PMID: 28977913
Oncotarget. 2017 Jun 28;8(37):61901-61916. doi: 10.18632/oncotarget.18717. eCollection 2017 Sep 22.

Previous studies have suggested that astrocyte-elevated gene-1 (AEG-1) contributes to the mechanisms of resistance to various chemotherapeutics. In this study, we investigated whether AEG-1 expression level correlated with that of thymidylate synthase (TS), as higher TS expression is known...

An Improved Version of a Tool Mark Comparison Algorithm.

J Forensic Sci. 2018 May;63(3):849-855. doi: 10.1111/1556-4029.13640. Epub 2017 Sep 08.

Chumbley et al. (2010) described a statistically based algorithm for comparing pairs of tool marks. They presented empirical evidence that the algorithm produces well-separated similarity score values for "matching" and "non-matching" pairs of tool marks. However, the algorithm has...

Int J Endocrinol. 2015;2015:856708. doi: 10.1155/2015/856708. Epub 2015 Feb 22.

Objective. To examine the endocrine response to a bout of heavy resistance exercise following acute β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate free acid (HMB-FA) ingestion. Design. Twenty resistance trained men were randomized and consumed either 1 g of HMB-FA (BetaTor) or placebo (PL) 30...

Multiple-stage decisions in a marine central-place forager.

Animals with front facing eyes benefit from a substantial overlap in the visual fields of each eye, and devote specialized brain processes to using the horizontal spatial disparities produced as a result of viewing the same object with two...

Photoelectron spectra of CeO(-) and Ce(OH)2 (-).

The Journal of chemical physics

Ray M, Felton JA, Kafader JO, Topolski JE, Jarrold CC.
PMID: 25681904
J Chem Phys. 2015 Feb 14;142(6):064305. doi: 10.1063/1.4907714.

The photoelectron spectrum of CeO(-) exhibits what appears to be a single predominant electronic transition over an energy range in which numerous close-lying electronic states of CeO neutral are well known. The photoelectron spectrum of Ce(OH)2 (-), a molecule...

Familial Multiple Trichodiscomas: Case Report and Concise Review.

Cureus

Tong Y, Coda AB, Schneider JA, Hata TR, Cohen PR, Weiner BJ, Linnan LA.

Cureus. 2017 Aug 23;9(8):e1596. doi: 10.7759/cureus.1596.

Familial multiple trichodiscomas is a condition characterized by multiple asymptomatic skin papules. The inheritance pattern has not been established. The skin lesions usually appear in childhood. The diagnosis of the cutaneous papules is established by pathologic evaluation. Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome...

Unique and interactive effects of impulsivity facets on reckless driving and driving under the influence in a high-risk young adult sample.

Personality and individual differences

Risky driving behaviors are disproportionately high among young adults and impulsivity is a robust risk factor. Recent conceptualizations have proposed multidimensional facets of impulsivity comprised of negative urgency, premeditation, perseverance, sensation seeking, and positive urgency (UPPS-P model). Prior studies...
