In nutritional epidemiology, development of valid dietary assessment instruments specific to populations in diverse settings is of paramount importance. Such instruments are essential when trying to characterise dietary patterns and intake, investigate diet–disease associations, inform and evaluate nutrition interventions, assess nutrient–gene interactions, conduct cross-country comparison stud...

Many cells express both P2X cation channels and P2Y G-proteincoupled receptors that are costimulated by nucleotides released during physiologic or pathophysiologic responses. For example, during hemostasis and thrombosis, ATP-gated P2X1 channels and ADP-stimulated P2Y1 and P2Y12 G-protein coupled receptors play important roles in platelet activation. It has previously been reported that P2X1 re...

of Washington have found that women with a prior cesarean section who undergo labor for their second child are at increased risk for rupture of the uterus compared with women who elect to have another c-section. Uterine rupture is an uncommon but serious obstetrical condition that may result in hysterectomy, urologic injury, or a need for blood transfusion for the mother and neurologic impairme...
