Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal inherited genetic disorder that results in progressive muscle weakness and ultimately loss of ambulation, respiratory failure and heart failure. Cardiac MRI (MRI) plays an increasingly important role in the diagnosis and clinical care of boys with DMD and associated cardiomyopathies.

An intensive three-week course will give advanced students a “deep end” introduction to the problem of intelligence – how the brain produces intelligent behavior and how we may be able to replicate intelligence in machines. Location: Marine Biological Laboratory, in Woods Hole, MA. Course Resources (Slides, documents, etc.) Course Description.

Aim: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous-cell carcinoma (LUSC) are two major subtypes of lung cancer and constitute about 70% of all the lung cancer cases. The patient's lifespan and living quality will be significantly improved if they are diagnosed at an early stage and adequately treated.

Results: Striking differences in ethnogeographic frequencies of MTHFR polymorphisms were observed. African-Americans appear to be protected from MTHFR deficiency. Hispanics and Caucasians may be at elevated risk due to increased frequencies of …

Results: The results showed SLE patients had a higher circulating IL-8 levels than normal controls (pooled standardized mean difference = 0.963; 95% CI: 0.416–1.511). Subgroup analyses indicated SLE patients with age <40 years, Asia group …

2019年2月15日 · Results:SLC6A6 expression was higher in gastric cancer, and indicated poor prognosis. Low-methylation levels were significantly related to high SLC6A6 expression. Conclusion:SLC6A6 may be a potential prognostic marker and therapeutic target. Hypomethylation contributes to SLC6A6 upregulation in gastric cancer.

Emerging MRI biomarkers of myocardial function and structure include the estimation of rotational mechanics and regional strain using MRI tagging; T1-mapping; and T2-mapping, a marker of inflammation, edema and fat.

Polymorphic variants of the CYP7A1 gene can increase the risk of atherosclerosis-based coronary artery disease (CAD) and modify serum lipid markers. Method: We studied haplotype-tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms of CYP7A1 in the Caucasian population and if they are associated with CAD, its symptoms, and any of its risk factors.
