Cerebral malaria (CM) and severe malarial anemia (SMA) are 2 major causes of death in African children infected with Plasmodium falciparum. We investigated levels of naturally acquired antibody to conserved and variable regions of merozoite surface protein (MSP)-1 and MSP-2, apical membrane antigen (AMA)-1, and rhoptry-associated protein 1 in plasma samples from 126 children admitted to the hos...

For the first time a single trapped antiproton (p) is used to measure the p magnetic moment μ(p). The moment μ(p)=μ(p)S/(ℏ/2) is given in terms of its spin S and the nuclear magneton (μ(N)) by μ(p)/μ(N)=-2.792 845±0.000 012. The 4.4 parts per million (ppm) uncertainty is 680 times smaller than previously realized. Comparing to the proton moment measured using the same method and trap electrodes...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE An earlier retrospective study indicated that the neck size of elastase-induced aneurysms could be controlled by adjusting the position of the inflated balloon. We report the current prospective study to confirm our previous work. METHODS Ninety elastase-induced aneurysms were created in rabbits. Group 1 (n = 62) included cases in which the occlusion balloon resided low...

We investigated the effects of interleukin-2, which stimulates the proliferation and maturation of thymus-derived lymphocytes, on hypertension and organ injuries in genetically hypertensive rats. Interleukin-2 (5 x 10(4) U/kg body wt) was subcutaneously injected into Dahl salt-sensitive rats fed a 4% NaCl diet and spontaneously hypertensive rats once a week for 10 weeks. The effects on blood pr...

Background: Lifestyle modification is recommended for management of prehypertension, yet finding effective interventions to reach rural women is a public health challenge. This community-based clinical trial compared the effectiveness of standard advice to two multi-component theory-based tailored interventions, using web-based or print-mailed delivery, in reducing blood pressure among rural wo...

BACKGROUND Interleukin 12 (IL-12), a cytokine that promotes generation of helper T cells subtype 1, is increased in multiple sclerosis. Albuterol sulfate, a β2-adrenergic agonist, reduces IL-12 expression, so we tested the effect of albuterol as an add-on treatment to glatiramer acetate therapy. OBJECTIVES To investigate the clinical and immunologic effects of albuterol treatment as an add-on...

BACKGROUND Weight gained in young adulthood often persists throughout later life with associated chronic disease risk. Despite this, current population prevention strategies are not specifically designed for young adults. OBJECTIVE We designed and assessed the efficacy of an mHealth prevention program, TXT2BFiT, in preventing excess weight gain and improving dietary and physical activity beha...
