Methods included observed measures of prevalent lower body physical disability and potential risk factors at baseline (1989-1991) and 4-year follow-up of 2,025 community-dwelling adults aged ...

We measured blood pressure, heart rate, and R-R interval (ECG) continuously at baseline and through all of the levels of lower body negative pressure. Blood sample...
متن کاملEstrogen receptor/progesterone receptor-negative breast cancers of young African-American women have a higher frequency of methylation of multiple genes than those of Caucasian women.
PURPOSE To provide a molecular rationale for negative prognostic factors more prevalent in African-American (AA) than Caucasian (Cau) women, we investigated the frequency of promoter hypermethylation in invasive ductal breast cancers in the two races. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN HIN-1, Twist, Cyclin D2, RAR-beta, and RASSF1A were analyzed in DNA from 67 AA and 44 Cau invasive ductal breast cancers, s...
