( Public Library of Science , 2019 , Article)Schistosomiasis is a widespread public health concern in the poorest regions of the world. The principal control strategy is regular praziquantel administration to school-aged children in endemic areas. With calls for the ... -
Differential response of oxidative and glycolytic skeletal muscle fibers to mesterolone
( Nature Research , 2021 , Article)Oxidative and glycolytic muscle fibers differ in their ultrastructure, metabolism, and responses to physiological stimuli and pathological insults. We examined whether these fibers respond differentially to exogenous ... -
Differentiated thyroid cancer: millions spent with no tangible gain?
( Bio Scientifica , 2017 , Article)The incidence of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) has rapidly increased worldwide over the last decades. It is unknown if the increase in diagnosis has been mirrored by an increase in thyroidectomy rates with the ... -
Differentiation and classification of bacterial endotoxins based on surface enhanced Raman scattering and advanced machine learning
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2022 , Article)Bacterial endotoxin, a major component of the Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane leaflet, is a lipopolysaccharide shed from bacteria during their growth and infection and can be utilized as a biomarker for bacterial ... -
Digenic inheritance and genetic modifiers
( Blackwell Publishing Ltd , 2018 , Article Review)Digenic inheritance (DI) concerns pathologies with the simplest form of multigenic etiology, implicating more than 1 gene (and perhaps the environment). True DI is when biallelic or even triallelic mutations in 2 distinct ... -
Dimensions around the nutrient foramina of the tibia and fibula in the estimation of sex
( Elsevier Ltd , 2018 , Article)© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Sex estimation from skeletal remains is one of the key components in establishing a biological profile and consequent identification of an individual in a forensic and medico-legal practice. The use ... -
Direct oral anticoagulants are effective and safe in the treatment of venous thromboembolism and atrial fibrillation in morbidly obese patients
( Springer , 2020 , Other)There has always been unresolved uncertainty regarding the therapeutic utility of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in morbidly obese patients (BMI > 40 kg/m2 or weight > 120 kg) with clinical indications for anticoagulant's ... -
Direct oral anticoagulants in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and extreme body weight
( Wiley-Blackwell , 2022 , Other)Bodega et al.'s recent report on the efficacy and safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and extreme body weight reinforces recent therapeutics advances in anticoagulation ... -
Discovery and systematic characterization of risk variants and genes for coronary artery disease in over a million participants
( Nature Research , 2022 , Article)The discovery of genetic loci associated with complex diseases has outpaced the elucidation of mechanisms of disease pathogenesis. Here we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for coronary artery disease (CAD) ... -
Discovery of new therapeutic targets in ovarian cancer through identifying significantly non-mutated genes
( BioMed Central Ltd , 2022 , Article)Background: Mutated and non-mutated genes interact to drive cancer growth and metastasis. While research has focused on understanding the impact of mutated genes on cancer biology, understanding non-mutated genes that are ... -
