Genetic Mutations that Cause Coronary Artery Disease

Cortisol elevations comparable to those that occur during hypoglycemia do not cause hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure.

The concept of hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure (HAAF) in diabetes posits that recent antecedent iatrogenic hypoglycemia causes both defective glucose counterregulation (by reducing the epinephrine response in the setting of an absent glucagon response) and hypoglycemia unawareness (by reducing the autonomic-sympathetic neural and adrenomedullary response and the resulting neurogenic [...

DNA polymorphism assay distinguishes isolates of Leishmania donovani that cause kala-azar from those that cause post-kala-azar dermal Leishmaniasis in humans.

Leishmania donovani in India causes visceral infection (kala-azar) and dermal infection (post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis). We report here the identification of polymorphism in a well-defined genetic locus among the Leishmania parasites causing the visceral and dermal manifestations, in a comparison of 15 post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis and 12 kala-azar patient isolates.

FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE MUSCLE TORQUE AFTER SPINAL CORD INJURY by CHRISTOPHER SCOTT BICKEL

Electromyostimulation (EMS) is often used in rehabilitation settings to evoke contractions in paralyzed muscle. Unfortunately, EMS inherently causes greater fatigue than voluntary activation. Muscles that are unloaded are susceptible to contractioninduced muscle injury. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate factors that can influence torque production, such as variable-frequenc...
