BACKGROUND To study the diabetes related CVD risk between men and women of different ages. METHODS Hazards ratios (HRs) (95%CI) for acute CHD and ischaemic stroke events were estimated based on data of Finnish and Swedish cohorts of 5111 women and 4167 men. RESULTS 182 (3.6%) women and 348 (8.4%) men had CHD and 129 (2.5%) women and 137 (3.3%) men ischaemic stroke events. The multivariate a...

Human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC)–released ADAMTS-13 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin repeats) and HUVEC-secreted von Willebrand factor (VWF) strings were investigated under static conditions that allow the accumulation and analysis of ADAMTS-13. The latter was released constitutively from HUVECs and cleaved the secreted and cell-anchored VWF strings progressiv...

Tumor cell subpopulations that express cancer stem cell markers such as CD133 (prominin1) or ABCB5 are thought to be crucial for tumor initiation and heterogeneity, but their biological significance in melanoma has been controversial. Here, we report that CD133þ and ABCB5þ subpopulations are colocalized in melanomas in perivascular niches that contain CD144 (VE-cadherin)þ melanoma cells forming...

The crystal structure of the ordered fluorite, Pr RuO , was refined from powder neutron diffraction data in Cmcm. An interesting 3 7 structural feature is the presence of relatively well separated zig-zag chains of corner sharing RuO octahedra, Ru–Ru interchain distance 6 ̊ ̊ 6.61 A vs. Ru–Ru intrachain distance of 3.76 A. Magnetic susceptibility data show a Curie–Weiss behavior for T.225 K with ...

This study estimates the effect of deployment location and length on the risk of developing PTSD, relative to what it would be from the normal military operations. We use a random sample of activity-duty enlisted personnel serving between 2001 and 2006. We identify PTSD cases from TRICARE medical records and link deployment information from Contingent Tracking System. Comparing to those in othe...

Traumatic experiences tend to be preserved in altered biomarker profiles. These profiles can traced back from cross-sectional data regarding the age of exposure. Consequently, change across developmental stages, e.g. childhood adulthood, also reconstructed. This study introduces a backtrace procedure that is illustrated using white blood cell (WBC) counts full / partial post-traumatic stress di...
