BACKGROUND In populations with a high prevalence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, practices that can induce haemolysis need to be identified to raise awareness of preventable risks. The aim of this survey was to determine the proportion of prospective mothers using haemolytic agents and their knowledge and practice surrounding neonatal jaundice. METHODS Pregnant mothers were i...

A central claim of the modern Austrian school is that a competitive market order can solve the knowledge problem while a centrally planned economy cannot. While Austrians such as Hayek have focused on the essential role of abstract rules and the coordinating role of prices, they have largely neglected the familiar, day-to-day institutions of store fronts, standardized contracts, and specific ma...

PLIN4 is a member of the PAT family of lipid storage droplet (LSD) proteins. Associations between seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at human PLIN4 with obesity related phenotypes were investigated using meta-analysis followed by a determination if these phenotypes are modulated by interactions between PLIN4 SNPs and dietary PUFA. Samples consisted of subjects from two populations of ...

OBJECTIVE To establish reference standards for percentage body fat measured in Hong Kong Chinese children, by methods involving bioelectrical impedance analysis. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Thirty-six randomly selected primary and secondary schools and a teaching hospital in Hong Kong. PARTICIPANTS A total of 14 842 students randomly selected from the schools and two additional ...

Identifying microRNA (miRNA)-regulated genes is key to understanding miRNA function. However, many miRNA recognition elements (MREs) do not follow canonical "seed" base-pairing rules, making identification of bona fide targets challenging. Here, we apply an unbiased sequencing-based systems approach to characterize miR-522, a member of the oncogenic primate-specific chromosome 19 miRNA cluster,...
