Context: Though anatomy is a vital part of a medical student’s education, three-dimensional visualization often ends in the laboratory, months into a medical student’s journey to becoming a physician. Many physicians would...
A positive association between beta-carotene (BC)-rich food intake and a reduction in metabolic disorder incidence, including heart disease, is prevalent in humans. Similarly, preclinical research finds dietary BC...
It is estimated that more than 500,000 bone grafting surgeries occur yearly in the US to repair or replace defects caused by trauma, tumor resection, pathological degeneration and congenital malformations. Significant progress...
Osteocyte (Ot)-derived Sclerostin (Scl) has local actions in bone mediated by Lrp 4/5/6 receptors, inhibiting bone formation and stimulating bone resorption by antagonizing Wnt signaling. Emerging evidence suggests that Scl...
Osteocyte (Ot)-derived Sclerostin (Scl), encoded by the SOST gene, regulates bone homeostasis by acting on osteoblasts, inhibiting bone formation and stimulating bone resorption. Emerging evidence suggest that Scl has...
Candida albicans and Gardnerella vaginalis are two common infectious organisms of the female urogenital tract. Single agent boric acid (BA) topical preparations have been a treatment for resistant gynecologic Candida and...
Persisters are a special group of quiescent and phenotypically unique cells in a given microbial population that survive antimicrobial insults or stresses but retain properties of the original population. Persisters have been...
Objectives: Arch branching has never been shown to influence recoarctation after extended end-to-end anastomosis via thoracotomy, yet in each study bovine arch identification is grossly underreported. This study aims to: 1)...
Osteoporosis, a disease of low bone mass, places individuals at enhanced risk for fracture, disability, and death. In the USA, hospitalizations for osteoporotic fractures exceed those for heart attack, stroke, and breast cancer...
This project created the first website capable of searching published biomedical knowledge and returning a rank ordered list of actions most effective at improving health. These actions have font scaled based on the odds ratios...
