BACKGROUND: Frailty is often associated with multimorbidity and disability.OBJECTIVES: We investigated heterogeneity in the frail older population by characterizing five subpopulations according to quantitative biological markers, multimorbidity and disability, and examined their association with mortality and nursing home admission.DESIGN:...

Gene analysis for longitudinal family data using random-effects models.

BMC proceedings

Houwing-Duistermaat JJ, Helmer Q, Balliu B, van den Akker E, Tsonaka R, Uh HW.
PMID: 25519415
BMC Proc. 2014 Jun 17;8:S88. doi: 10.1186/1753-6561-8-S1-S88. eCollection 2014.

We have extended our recently developed 2-step approach for gene-based analysis to the family design and to the analysis of rare variants. The goal of this approach is to study the joint effect of multiple single-nucleotide polymorphisms that belong...

Skeletal muscle

Vila MC, Klimek MB, Novak JS, Rayavarapu S, Uaesoontrachoon K, Boehler JF, Fiorillo AA, Hogarth MW, Zhang A, Shaughnessy C, Gordish-Dressman H, Burki U, Straub V, Lu QL, Partridge TA, Brown KJ, Hathout Y, van den Anker J, Hoffman EP, Nagaraju K.

BACKGROUND: Systemic delivery of anti-sense oligonucleotides to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients to induce de novo dystrophin protein expression in muscle (exon skipping) is a promising therapy. Treatment with Phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PMO) lead to shorter de novo dystrophin...

Ultralow-dose Dexamethasone to Preserve Endogenous Cortisol Stress Response in Nonclassical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: A New Promising Treatment.

International journal of endocrinology and metabolism

van der Kaay D, van den Akker E.
PMID: 25237318
Int J Endocrinol Metab. 2014 Jul 01;12(3):e14657. doi: 10.5812/ijem.14657. eCollection 2014 Jul.

INTRODUCTION: Nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is characterized by sufficient cortisol and aldosterone production at the cost of androgen overproduction. Hydrocortisone or dexamethasone in supraphysiological doses are current treatment; however, their downside is suppression of endogenous cortisol production resulting...

Can non-monetary incentives increase health facility deliveries? The experience in Thyolo District, Malawi.

International health
