Survivorship and feeding preferences among size classes of outplanted sea urchins, Tripneustes gratilla, and possible use as biocontrol for invasive alien algae.

PeerJ

Westbrook CE, Ringang RR, Cantero SM, Toonen RJ.
PMID: 26401450
PeerJ. 2015 Sep 15;3:e1235. doi: 10.7717/peerj.1235. eCollection 2015.

We investigate the survivorship, growth and diet preferences of hatchery-raised juvenile urchins, Tripneustes gratilla, to evaluate the efficacy of their use as biocontrol agents in the efforts to reduce alien invasive algae. In flow-through tanks, we measured urchin growth...

De novo genome assembly of Geosmithia morbida, the causal agent of thousand cankers disease.

PeerJ

Schuelke TA, Westbrook A, Broders K, Woeste K, MacManes MD.
PMID: 27168971
PeerJ. 2016 May 02;4:e1952. doi: 10.7717/peerj.1952. eCollection 2016.

Geosmithia morbida is a filamentous ascomycete that causes thousand cankers disease in the eastern black walnut tree. This pathogen is commonly found in the western U.S.; however, recently the disease was also detected in several eastern states where the...

The Impact for Patient Outcomes of Failure to Follow Up on Test Results. How Can We Do Better?.

EJIFCC

Callen J, Georgiou A, Li J, Westbrook JI.
PMID: 27683480
EJIFCC. 2015 Jan 27;26(1):38-46. eCollection 2015 Jan.

BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization-World Alliance for Patient Safety has identified test result management as a priority area. Poor test result follow-up can have major consequences for the quality of care, including missed diagnoses and suboptimal patient outcomes. Over...

Interferon Alfa-2b Antibodies and Clinical Resistance in a Patient with Hairy Cell Leukemia.

Leukemia & lymphoma

Moormeier JA, Westbrook CA, Ratain MJ, Golomb HM.
PMID: 27456406
Leuk Lymphoma. 1989;1(1):43-5. doi: 10.3109/10428198909042457.

A patient with hairy cell leukemia is described who, during the course of treatment of his disease with interferon αb, developed antibodies to the drug. Coincident with antibody development, clinical resistance to the effect of alfa interferon was noted...

Changes in nurses' work associated with computerised information systems: Opportunities for international comparative studies using the revised Work Observation Method By Activity Timing (WOMBAT).

NI 2012 : 11th International Congress on Nursing Informatics, June 23-27, 2012, Montreal, Canada. International Congress in Nursing Informatics (11th : 2012 : Montreal, Quebec)

Westbrook JI, Creswick NJ, Duffield C, Li L, Dunsmuir WT.
PMID: 24199139
NI 2012 (2012). 2012 Jun 23;2012:448. eCollection 2012.

An important step in advancing global health through informatics is to understand how systems support health professionals to deliver improved services to patients. Studies in several countries have highlighted the potential for clinical information systems to change patterns of...

Fatty acids increase neuronal hypertrophy of Pten knockdown neurons.

Frontiers in molecular neuroscience

Fricano CJ, Despenza T, Frazel PW, Li M, O'Malley AJ, Westbrook GL, Luikart BW.
PMID: 24795563
Front Mol Neurosci. 2014 Apr 23;7:30. doi: 10.3389/fnmol.2014.00030. eCollection 2014.

Phosphatase and tensin homolog (Pten) catalyzes the reverse reaction of PI3K by dephosphorylating PIP3 to PIP2. This negatively regulates downstream Akt/mTOR/S6 signaling resulting in decreased cellular growth and proliferation. Co-injection of a lentivirus knocking Pten down with a control...

Neuroligin-1 knockdown reduces survival of adult-generated newborn hippocampal neurons.

Frontiers in neuroscience

Schnell E, Long TH, Bensen AL, Washburn EK, Westbrook GL.
PMID: 24782702
Front Neurosci. 2014 Apr 10;8:71. doi: 10.3389/fnins.2014.00071. eCollection 2014.

Survival of adult-born hippocampal granule cells is modulated by neural activity, and thought to be enhanced by excitatory synaptic signaling. Here, we report that a reduction in the synaptogenic protein neuroligin-1 in adult-born neurons in vivo decreased their survival,...

Detailed chemical kinetic modeling of cyclohexane oxidation.

The journal of physical chemistry. A

Silke EJ, Pitz WJ, Westbrook CK, Ribaucour M.
PMID: 17388266
J Phys Chem A. 2007 May 17;111(19):3761-75. doi: 10.1021/jp067592d. Epub 2007 Feb 23.

A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism has been developed and used to study the oxidation of cyclohexane at both low and high temperatures. Rules for reaction rate constants are developed for the low-temperature combustion of cyclohexane. These rules can be...

Report of the working group on crystal phase identifiers.

Acta crystallographica. Section A, Foundations of crystallography

Brown ID, Abrahams SC, Berndt M, Faber J, Karen VL, Motherwell WD, Villars P, Westbrook JD, McMahon B.
PMID: 16244407
Acta Crystallogr A. 2005 Nov;61:575-80. doi: 10.1107/S010876730503179X. Epub 2005 Oct 22.

The proposed crystalline phase identifier consists of a number of components (layers) describing enough properties of the phase to allow a unique identification. These layers consist of the chemical formula, a flag indicating the state of matter, the space-group...

Preoperative white blood cell count and risk of 30-day readmission after cardiac surgery.

International journal of inflammation

Brown JR, Landis RC, Chaisson K, Ross CS, Dacey LJ, Boss RA, Helm RE, Horton SR, Hofmaster P, Jones C, Desaulniers H, Westbrook BM, Duquette D, Leblond K, Quinn RD, Magnus PC, Malenka DJ, Discipio AW.
