Detection of Genes Influencing Chronic and Mendelian Disease Via Loss-of-Function Variation
… in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, we explored the impact of LOF variation on a broad spectrum of human phenotypes. First, we selected 20 common chronic disease risk factor phenotypes and performed gene-based association tests. Analysis of this sample verified two …

Admixture Mapping of Subclinical and Clinical Cardiovascular Disease among African Americans
… with LEA among African Americans from the ARIC cohort. Several LEA gene regions on chromosome 4 achieved genome-wide significance associated with myocardial infarction, and two with composite CVD events. We also replicated several LEA-cCIMT associations observed in the MESA cohort in aim 1, …

Gene By Bmi Interactions Influencing C-Reactive Protein Levels In European-Americans
… in a subsample of European-Americans in the ARIC cohort. In a stratified GWA analysis, 15 genetic regions were identified as having significantly (p-value < 2.00*10<sup>-3</sup>) distinct effects on hsCRP levels between the two obesity strata: lean (18.50 kg/m<sup>2</sup> < BMI < 24.99 …

Inflammatory processes and risk of cancer: epidemiological research.
… cancer (CRC) in a prospective cohort - ARIC. After multivariate adjustment, there were statistically significant associations of CRC risk with two individual markers and a summary inflammation Z- score. For the highest versus lowest quartile, hazard ratios HR (95% confidence interval) …

The Effects of Electrochemical Therapy on Colon-25 Tumors in Balb-C Mice
The purpose of the research was to treat immunodeficient mice, implanted with colon-25 tumors, with continuous and interrupted electrochemical therapy (ECT). ECT involves the placement of two electrodes, an anode near the center of the tumor and a cathode into the tumor periphery. A constant …

Drug design strategies for modulating immune activity for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and cancer
The immune system plays an important role in protecting the body from foreign pathogens and damaged cells. Self-tolerance mechanisms exist to prevent the immune system from attacking normal cells. However, malfunctions in the self-tolerance mechanisms can result in the inability of the immune …

Telomere Specific Homologous Recombination in the Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres
Over twenty years have passed since the discovery of telomerase-independent telomere maintenance, yet the precise details of the ALT mechanism remain a mystery. A growing body of evidence suggests that ALT cells maintain telomeres by homologous recombination (Reddel 2003 for Review). Groundbreaking …

Toward a richer account of human rights in Christian moral theory : from Wolterstorff and Hauerwas to Wojtyla.
The role of human rights is disputed in Christian moral theory. When human rights are discussed, it is common to find that a problematic understanding of the human agent is assumed in those discussions, one that understands the agent motivated strictly by belief and accompanying desires. This …

Applicability of cosmic ray muon radiography to nuclear nonproliferation
Nuclear terrorism poses a real threat to the United States, particularly from non-state actors. Every day, more than thirty-thousand shipping containers arrive at United States ports. The contents of these steel vessels need to be scanned for illicit and hazardous materials in a timely fashion. …

Register Transfer Level Simulation Acceleration via Hardware/Software Process Migration
The run-time reconfiguration of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) opens new avenues to hardware reuse. Through the use of process migration between hardware and software, an FPGA provides a parallel execution cache. Busy processes can be migrated into hardware-based, parallel processors, and …

Sonno e funzioni cognitive: ruolo della microstruttura del sonno NREM
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Cyclic Alternating Pattern (CAP) is a fluctuation of the arousal level during NREM sleep and consists of the alternation between two phases: phase A (divided into three subtypes A1, A2, and A3) and phase B. A1 is thought to be generated by the frontal cortex and is characterized by …
