The Effects of Prednisone and Prednisone Plus Ultralow-dose Aspirin on Coagulation Parameters in Healthy Dogs
… on coagulation in healthy dogs, and to determine intra-individual variation in thromboelastography (TEG). Animals: 14 healthy experimental dogs and 10 healthy client-owned dogs Procedures: Prospective, randomized, blinded study. TEG was performed twice three days apart on each experimental dog …

Post-exercise oxygen consumption and heart rate recovery as possible measures of the homeostatic stress of an exercise bout Theresa Naomi Carol Mann.
… possible applications; - to identify inter-individual variation in the homeostatic stress of a standardized exercise bout - to detect intra-individual variation in the homeostatic stress of different exercise bouts- to detect intra-individual variation in “readiness to train”, based on the …

Sexual Signaling in Male Vervet Monkeys (Chlorocebus Pygerythrus); Influences of Hormones, Behaviour, and Parasitism on Scrotal and Penile Skin Colouration
… monkeys make them a good species to examine variation in signal expression. We quantified colour in vervets at Lake Nabugabo, Uganda from standardized photos. We hypothesized that inter- and intra-individual variation in the expression of the genital colour of males is influenced by …

Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies of mycophenolic acid in renal transplant recipients
… IC50 of free MPA, substantially reducing inter-individual variation in this PD parameter by 5.3% and intra-individual variation by 25.47%.This study confirmed that patients taking MMF and SRL experience a higher exposure to MPA and lower exposure to MPAG and the population PK-PD model developed …

The influence of intraspecific variation in host plants on arthropod and fungal endophyte communities
An appreciation for intraspecific variation is central to the study of evolutionary biology, however community ecologists have often assumed equivalence among conspecific organisms. In recent years, intraspecific genetic variation, particularly in plants, has received more attention, and has been …

What Next? Unpacking Anticipatory EEG Oscillations in Auditory, Tactile and Visual Modalities: Relations with Behavior and Executive Function in Children and Adults
… actions (as indexed by reaction time) and individual differences in the ability to use goals to direct action (as indexed by executive function measures). A cross-sectional investigation was conducted in 40 adults and 40 6- to 8-year-old children to examine the association of neural …

Brain-Body Crosstalk: Characterizing the Gut Microbiome in Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
… current approaches do not consider the high intra-individual variation in gut microbial composition over time. This study aims to describe a longitudinal role of the gut-brain axis in children with ASD/ADHD where diet-induced alterations of gut microbial composition may be involved in …

Studies on genetic aberrations as possible predictors of the outcome of assisted reproduction
… predictor of fertility in couples undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI). If DFI is above 30% the chance of pregnancy by IUI is close to zero and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is more effective than classical in vitro fertilisation (IVF).DFI was predictive of the outcome of ART …

Provenancing humans: the real uncertainty of stable isotope data
… to deduce information pertaining to an individual’s geographical provenance, recent movements, and even dietary intake. Human identification requires the development of new methods able to overcome the issues associated with traditional techniques such as the degradation of DNA samples …

An investigation of Arsenic in biological samples from unexposed volunteers in the UK
… between excretion of arsenic and selenium in individuals exposed to background levels of arsenic and selenium was investigated through analysis of urine samples from 93 volunteers from Leicester, UK. A positive correlation between arsenic and selenium was found and the As:Se ratio was 0.7 ± …

Dietary Manipulation of Metabolic Function in the Human Gut Microbiome
… potential is limited by substantial inter-individual variation in responses to prebiotics. Determining the cause for this variation is necessary to develop treatment approaches that maximize patient responsiveness. Ultimately, tools to predict an individual’s response to a prebiotic and to …

Genetic Determinants of Human Serum Sterol Levels
… participating in the Dallas Heart Study. Large intra-individual variation was detected in the serum levels of approximately 22 of the >60 sterols assessed. To identify the genes underlying the observed variation, we took both targeted and untargeted approaches. In the targeted approach, …

Role of Retrotransposons as a Major Source of Intra- and Inter-Individual Epigenetic Variations in the Mammalian Genome
… my dissertation study to identify unmethylated intracisternal A-particles (IAPs) and also to understand why some of IAPs escape DNA methylation-mediated repression. Firstly, I sought to catalog the retrotransposons (LTRs and LINEs only) in the mouse genome known as ‘epialleles’ which escape the …

Oxysterol Signature as Putative Biomarker in Niemann-Pick Type C and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
… of the compounds. We found an important intra-individual variation for both analytes, but could show increased C-triol levels in all Niemann-Pick patients including Niemann Pick type A and B patients. Our results suggest that especially the C-triol is a biomarker for all three …

Evaluating the impact of ultraviolet light on chemical and mechanical properties of human scalp hair through controlled and natural experiments
… as the groupings are not able to account for intra-population and intra-individual variation objectively. This study is the first evaluation aimed at comparing the effect of UV radiation on hair of varying curl, using a combination of chemical and mechanical tools alongside advanced …

A novel nutritional approach to the management of type 2 diabetes: effects of nutritional preloads on postprandial blood glucose and gastric emptying in type 2 diabetes mellitus
… in a group of patients with type 2 diabetes. The intra-individual variation of gastric emptying in health is modest, so that emptying is highly reproducible, although there is substantial inter-individual variation. Studies from tertiary referral centres involving patients with longstanding …

Relationships of gastric emptying with glycaemia, insulin secretion and the incretin effect in health and type 2 diabetes
