BACKGROUND: The role of the patient-physician relationship is a key issue in the management of lifelong, chronic conditions such as psoriasis, with each side bringing different perspectives. OBJECTIVE: To explore areas of congruence and disconnection…

The myocardium adapts to ischemic insults in a variety of ways. One adaptation is the phenomenon of acute preconditioning, which can greatly ameliorate ischemic damage. However, this effect wanes within a few hours and does not confer chronic…

BACKGROUND: Patient safety issues are the forefront of delivering effective quality healthcare. The fast pace and high volume of dermatology practice presents an opportunity for new research on error prevention and patient safety. OBJECTIVE: To…

In previous studies, we have shown overexpression and ectopic subcellular distribution of gamma-tubulin and beta III-tubulin in human glioblastomas and glioblastoma cell lines (Katsetos et al., 2006,] Neuropathol Exp Neurol 65:455-467; Katsetos et…

Hemangiomas of the small intestine are rare, accounting for only 0.05% of all intestinal neoplasms (Jarvi et al. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2008;46:593-597). The jejunum is the most common site of involvement in the small intestine (Levy et al. Am…

Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery has become a routine surgical option for the treatment of prostate cancer. Despite its technical advancements, the da Vinci (R) Surgical System still lacks haptic feedback to the surgeon, resulting in a…

Background: The use of drug samples is a controversial issue in medicine. Objective: We sought to determine the pros and cons of drug sampling, and how drug sampling in general medicine differs from dermatology. Methods: Literature searches were…

Epicardial catheter-based mapping and ablation of a variety of supraventricular tachycardias is feasible, safe, and effective. Supraventricular tachycardia substrates are not uncommonly epicardial, and approaches with percutaneous epicardial…

During development, detection for many percepts matures gradually. This provides a natural system in which to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying performance differences: those aspects of neural activity that mature in conjunction with…

Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily and plays an important role in maintaining bile acid, lipid and glucose homeostasis. Bile acids are endogenous ligands for FXR. However, bile acids may also activate pathways…

The famesoid X receptor (FXR) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily and plays an important role in maintaining bile acid, lipid and glucose homeostasis. Bile acids are endogenous ligands for FXR. However, bile acids may also activate…

We used mouse hepatic chromatin enriched with an FXR antibody and chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) to evaluate FXR binding on a genome-wide scale. This identified 1656 FXR-binding sites and 10% were located within 2 kb of a…

Parkinson's disease is a severe debilitating neurodegenerative disorder. Recently, it was shown that the peroxisome proliferating-activator receptor-gamma agonist pioglitazone protected mice from

Individualism-collectivism (IC) constitutes a cultural variable thought to influence a wide variety of variables including career planning and decision making. To examine this possibility, college students (216 women, 106 men, 64% racial-ethnic…

Intercostal artery laceration is an unusual complication following thoracentesis, and has been reported only in elderly patients. We report a case of a 78-year-old man who developed a massive hemothorax following thoracentesis. Post-thoracentesis…

Previous research suggests that discrepancies between work values and rewards are indicators of dissonance that induce change in both to reduce such dissonance over time. The present study elaborates this model to suggest parallels with the first…
