Your test result typically includes a reference range for what the laboratory considers normal eGFR levels. For eGFR based on creatinine levels, many laboratories list separate reference ranges for African Americans and non-African Americans because some prior studies have found varying eGFR levels among...
However, African-American males have a two-times higher prevalence of oral and pharynex cancer incident rate and lower five-year survival rate in comparison to Caucasians males. The disparity in oral health and oral health outcomes is the result of environmental and genetic influences. Epidermal ...
Among whites we used 1000 Genomes precomputed LD Scores and for non-Hispanic blacks we calculated LD Scores in 2217 African American participants from BioVU using Illumina Mega Array (Illumina, Inc) genotype data imputed to 1000 Genomes phase 3 haplotypes. Calculation of the intercept in the MVP...

Capsaicin (trans-8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) is an ingredient of chili peppers with inhibitory effects against cancer cells of different origin. We examined the activity of capsaicin on breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. The drug potently inhibited growth of ER-positive (MCF-7, ...
